Here is a B4j library written in B4j to access the full Printer modules provided with JavaFX8. Full source code is available.
At it's simplest, you can print a node using:
Or with dialogs:
Code to scale a view to print on a single page.
Depends on: JavaFX8, JavaObject
Documentation (apart from that in the library) is available here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/api/index.html?javafx/print/Printer.html
Click on javafx.print in the All Classes Packages frame to see all the relevant classes.
I've ignored Enums where strings are acceptable for simplicity's sake.
V0.6 fix improperly formed XMLmessage displayed in IDE help (post #6)
V0.7 added #RaisesSynchronousEvents to PrinterJob module as described here : https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ble-getting-jfx8print-dialogs-to-work.133964/
V 0.8 Released as a B4xLib Enums now return string values instead of ENum objects.
Full code is in Printer.zip if you just want to look at the project without unzipping the B4xlib
Enjoy
At it's simplest, you can print a node using:
B4X:
Dim P As Printer = Printer_Static.GetDefaultPrinter
Dim PJ As PrinterJob = PrinterJob_Static.CreatePrinterJob2(P)
PJ.PrintPage(lblTest)
PJ.EndJobOr with dialogs:
B4X:
Dim PJ As PrinterJob = PrinterJob_Static.CreatePrinterJob
PJ.ShowPageSetupDialog(Null)
PJ.ShowPrintDialog(Null)
PJ.PrintPage(MainForm.RootPane)
PJ.EndJobCode to scale a view to print on a single page.
Scale output:
Sub ScaleOutput(P As Printer,N As Node) As Node
Dim PL As PageLayout = P.GetDefaultPageLayout
Dim ScaleX,ScaleY As Double
Dim NJO As JavaObject = N
Dim JO As JavaObject = N
ScaleX = PL.GetPrintableWidth / JO.RunMethodJO("getBoundsInParent",Null).RunMethod("getWidth",Null)
ScaleY = PL.GetPrintableHeight / JO.RunMethodJO("getBoundsInParent",Null).RunMethod("getHeight",Null)
Dim SJO As JavaObject
SJO.InitializeNewInstance("javafx.scene.transform.Scale",Array(ScaleX,ScaleY))
NJO.RunMethodJO("getTransforms",Null).RunMethod("add",Array(SJO))
Return NJO
End Sub
Usage:
'Print with dialogs
Dim PJ As PrinterJob = PrinterJob_Static.CreatePrinterJob
If PJ.ShowPageSetupDialog(Null) Then
If PJ.ShowPrintDialog(Null) Then
' PJ.PrintPage(MainForm.RootPane)
PJ.PrintPage(ScaleOutput(PJ.GetPrinter,MainForm.RootPane))
PJ.EndJob
Else
PJ.CancelJob
End If
Else
PJ.CancelJob
End If
Reset node size after scaling:
'where N would be MainForm.Rootpane in the above example
N.As(JavaObject).Runmethod("getTransforms",Null).as(List).ClearDepends on: JavaFX8, JavaObject
