connect method

  1. @override
Future<bool?> connect(
  1. String? printer,
  2. bool? connectWithBluetooth
)
override

connect() takes the name of a discovered printer and the protocol to connect over and attempts to connect the mobile device to the printer.

@param printer is a string representing the name of the printer to connect to. @param connectWithBluetooth is a bool representing the protocol to connect over. true: search for a printer discovered over bluetooth with the matching name. false: search for a printer discovered over Wi-Fi network with the matching name. null: ignores protocol and connects to any printer matching the name.

@returns a bool representing the connection result.

Implementation

@override
Future<bool?> connect(String? printer, bool? connectWithBluetooth) async {
  var sendMap = <String, dynamic>{
    "printerName": printer,
    "connectWithBluetooth": connectWithBluetooth
  };
  bool? connected =
      await methodChannel.invokeMethod<bool>('connect', sendMap);
  return connected;
}
