Android Question Error Printing text file on Bluetooth printer

[Eduardo Funabashi]

Hi,

I have code to print on a bluetooth printer.
First time I execute routine to print a text file, it prints withou any error.
But when I execute the same print subroutine the second time, I got exception error.
Please see attached image.
Can someone help me what I'm doing wrong ?

Best Regards

You should post Errors as TEXT instead of an Image. The Text can be copied...

put the outputstream into a variable before and set a breakpoint there use debug step.
can u copy the line 248 here? i can show what i mean.

Thank you DonManfred and MarkusR

Here is the SUB where I print text file and below the exception

this line throws exception second time it is executed
' start printer
Main.Printer.Initialize2(Main.BTConnection.OutputStream,"windows-1252")

Sub Print_File_BT()
    Dim tr As TextReader
    Dim CAMINHO As String
    'Dim Printer As TextWriter
    Dim Out As OutputStream
   
    If File.ExternalWritable Then
        CAMINHO = File.DirDefaultExternal
    Else
        CAMINHO = File.DirInternal
    End If
   
    If File.Exists(CAMINHO, "conta.txt") = False Then
        Return
    End If
   
    ' start printer
    Main.Printer.Initialize2(Main.BTConnection.OutputStream,"windows-1252")  German/French chars
   
    Dim tr As TextReader
    tr.Initialize(File.OpenInput(CAMINHO, "conta.txt"))
    Dim st As String
   
    ' lê o arquivo
    Do While st <> Null
        st = tr.ReadLine
        If st <> Null Then
            Main.Printer.WriteLine(st)
        End If
    Loop
   
    Main.Printer.Flush
    Main.Printer.Close
    Main.BTConnection.Disconnect
   
    Msgbox(" Conta Impressa...", "")

    ' fecha tela
    Activity.finish
   
End Sub

First time SUB prints file normally .. no errors
Second time I got this exception

[MarkusR]

i meant this, set a breakpoint and see if "out" is not null
(and please use the icon insert... code)

Dim Out as OutputStream
Out = Main.BTConnection.OutputStream
Main.Printer.Initialize2(Out,"windows-1252")
