BradyCorp.Xamarin.SDK

The official Xamarin wrapper for the Brady SDK allows development in C# to integrate both the iOS and Android functionalities supported by the Brady SDK's.

Setup

To start, you must add this package to both the iOS and Android native projects if you are using a Xamarin.Forms application. To access the library's API, use the following using statements:

- Android: "using BradySdkBindings.Droid"
- iOS: "using BradySdkBindings.iOS"

Next, intialize a BradySdk object using the constructors:

- Android: "new BradySdk(Context)"
- iOS: "new BradySdk()"

NOTE: The Xamarin Binding MUST be implemented for both iOS and Android separately in both native projects. This is due to different constructors for each platform and alternative threading methods that need to be dealt with differently.

NOTE: Usable templates MUST be embedded in the Xamarin app's Resources and marked as an "AndroidResource" in the files "build properties". Currently, we do not support users retrieving files from their device's file system at runtime. This is due to a data conversion issue between languages in the back-end.

For both Android and iOS, you must call the .ConnectToPrinter(String) and .Print() methods from a different thread. That might look like this:

Thread connectThread = new Thread(() =>
{
    bool status = BradySdk.ConnectToPrinter(printer).Result;
    if (status)
    {
       Debug.WriteLine("Connection Status: " + status);
    }
});
connectThread.Start();
