BRLMPrinterKit Brother's printer SDK

brother_printer #

WORK IN PROGRESS

Brother printer SDK for Flutter using native SDK v4 on iOS and v3 on Android.

Getting Started #

This project is a starting point for a Flutter plug-in package, a specialized package that includes platform-specific implementation code for Android and/or iOS.

For help getting started with Flutter, view our online documentation, which offers tutorials, samples, guidance on mobile development, and a full API reference.

Installation #

Be sure to read requirements of the native SDK: https://support.brother.com/g/s/es/htmldoc/mobilesdk/

iOS #

In the Podfile uncomment:

    platform :ios, '9.0'

In the Info.plist add:

	<key>NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
	<string>Bluetooth is required for connection to printers.</string>

Android #

Connection doesn't seem to work on emulator.

Add permissions:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

You have to manually authorized the location permission on the device (will be improve later).

Notes #

There are difference between what return the iOS version and the Android version

    print('${device.model.nameAndroid} - ${device.source} - ${device.modelName} - ${device.ipAddress} - ${device.printerName} - ${device.macAddress} - ${device.nodeName} - ${device.serialNumber} - ${device.bleAdvertiseLocalName}');
