Print using Bluetooth printer in android not working

Question

• I am working on application which allows user to create PDF and also allows to print it using Bluetooth printer.
  • I created PDF but whenever i'm going to integrate print functionality using Bluetooth printer, it occurs error over there.
  • I couldn't get list of Bluetooth device.
  • If you have any sample code for it then please provide it to me.It is too important to me.

Thank You....

This is my code

PrintActivity.java

public class PrintActivity extends Activity implements Runnable {

int idd;

protected static final String TAG = "TAG";
private static final int REQUEST_CONNECT_DEVICE = 1;
private static final int REQUEST_ENABLE_BT = 2;

Button btnPrinr;
BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter;

private UUID applicationUUID = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB");
private ProgressDialog mBluetoothConnectProgressDialog;
private BluetoothSocket mBluetoothSocket;
BluetoothDevice mBluetoothDevice;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_print);

    idd = getIntent().getIntExtra("ID", 0);
    Log.e("ID", "" + idd);

    btnPrinr = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnPrinr);

    btnPrinr.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
            if (mBluetoothAdapter == null) {
                Toast.makeText(PrintActivity.this, "Message1", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            } else {
                if (!mBluetoothAdapter.isEnabled()) {
                    Intent enableBtIntent = new Intent(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_REQUEST_ENABLE);
                    startActivityForResult(enableBtIntent, REQUEST_ENABLE_BT);
                } else {
                    ListPairedDevices();
                    Intent connectIntent = new Intent(PrintActivity.this, DeviceListActivity.class);
                    startActivityForResult(connectIntent, REQUEST_CONNECT_DEVICE);

In the code I'm using after this line, there is another line that yours is missing

mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
mBluetoothAdapter.startDiscovery();

I hope this helps, I'm only starting with android studio but since no one has answered this question I hope mine helps...
