Public methods

block

Added in API level 19
fun block(reason: String?): Boolean

Blocks the print job. You should call this method if isStarted() returns true and you need to block the print job. For example, the user has to add some paper to continue printing. To resume the print job call start(). To change the reason call setStatus(java.lang.CharSequence).
This method must be called from the main thread of your app.

Parameters
reason String?: The human readable, short, and translated reason why the print job is blocked. This value may be null.
Return
Boolean Whether the job was blocked.

cancel

Added in API level 19
fun cancel(): Boolean

Cancels the print job. You should call this method if isQueued() or or #isBlocked() returns true and you canceled the print job as a response to a call to PrintService#onRequestCancelPrintJob(PrintJob).
This method must be called from the main thread of your app.

Return
Boolean Whether the job is canceled.

complete

Added in API level 19
fun complete(): Boolean

Completes the print job. You should call this method if isStarted() returns true and you are done printing.
This method must be called from the main thread of your app.

Return
Boolean Whether the job as completed.

equals

Added in API level 19
fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters
obj This value may be null.
Return
Boolean true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

fail
