I will tell you what i did for my app.may be that won't be suit for you.First of all you have to convert the activity into pdf using itext
. then save the pdf into sdcard.from there you have to open the pdf using any application which supports printing.you have to install that application into your device.i used PrinterShare . for me its works fine.it fulfilled my needs. the code is given below.
Document doc = new Document();
PdfWriter docWriter = null;
