Does anyone know if there is a Cloud print API for Android? .To develop our own Cloud print Apk for Android device.
Any tutorial or Sample code for this will be helpful
There is an Google Cloud Print API available which I wrote a while back:
http://cloudx.fun2code.de/en/api.html
JavaDoc and examples are also available.
For a more detailed example have a look at the blog entry:
http://fun2code-blog.blogspot.de/2011/10/setting-up-cloud-print-printer-using.html
Hope that helps...
Check this for Google Cloud Print integration with Android.
https://developers.google.com/cloud-print/docs/android
Printing is not yet supported on Android. You have to use a 3rd party solution for that!!
You can add printing functionality to your Android application by integrating with Google Cloud Print
You can use iPrint sdk but it is paid for per user basis.

You didn't mention what you'd be printing so...
For normal printers and letter-sized documents, you should use Google Cloud Print as recommended previously. Google Cloud Print is the best and simplest solution out there for these printers.
Other alternatives are writing your own printer driver which is probably not even worth attempting because of how complex it is to implement perfect support or sending your print jobs through a 3rd party printing app that's already been made which probably will not provide the level of customization you want to provide.
For receipt printers, Star Micronics offers a well documented Android SDK package with lots of print samples here: http://www.starmicronics.com/support/SDKDocumentation.aspx
A printing API is included to handle status, open/close port, and basic communication. The SDK includes a sample app with a bunch of samples you can try out to get your receipt looking exactly how you want.

I want to make an application for Android, the functionality of which will be directly related to the telegram api (not a bot, but a full-fledged api), but I do not understand how I can at least just log into my account, not to mention what to make requests. Documentation on working with the api through android applications I could not find. Please help me deal with this (just an example of how to send a message to the user will be enough)
I used Google translator
Kindly have a look at this link.

I am trying to upload an APK/Bundle to Firebase's Test Lab to perform a robo-test/game-loop through scripts and not going on their website. I'm using C# and .sh scripts.
I see this link https://firebase.google.com/docs/test-lab/reference/testing/rest but I'm not sure how to utilize this information.
I am aware of the Google Cloud SDK (gcloud command) but I don't think I can use a CLI to do this since I cannot install anything.
Has anyone does this before? I've searched on the web and can't find someone who has done this.
The specific REST API you want to invoke is
https://firebase.google.com/docs/test-lab/reference/testing/rest/v1/projects.testMatrices/create.
You can use the "Try it!" button to play with the API and see the http request body and response.
Google publishes client libraries for many specific APIs in several languages. I have not used this specific library, but here's the link to the client library that should be usable for .NET development:
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/dotnet/apis/testing/v1
It is a somewhat complex API. You might want to study the Cloud SDK (gcloud) Python source code for ideas on how to use it. But that would require you to install the Cloud SDK first, which you say you cannot do.
You could also study the Flank kotlin code for examples of how to use the Cloud Testing API (and also the Cloud Tool Results API).
I want to have a print feature in my Android application.Also,my application may cater to varied users and I do not want them to do any pc configurations for the same.Also,I do not know what type of printers they may use.Kindly provide me some knowledge in this regard or how to implement this.
Android SDK has no Printer Api still. we have to use Third party apis best of them is Google Cloud Print.
You can simply pass pdf file to PrintDialogActivity which in sample..., it will be printed from any where but before that your printer must be registered with Google Cloud Servers.

IQ Engines offers an API that allows you to integrate image recognition into your mobile application. For more information see http://www.iqengines.com. If you sign up for a trial you get 1000 free visual scans and can download the iOS and Android SDKs. There's a Quick Start Guide http://www.iqengines.com/quickstart, API Documentation and README files for the SDKs that explain the process.
I've downloaded a utility called PrintShare which allows one to print things like web pages, contact lists, calendars, etc to a printer connected through wireless or a computer participating on the PrintShare network.
I would like to have my Android app create a text file, then send that text file to a printer that is shared with PrintShare.
Is there an API for printing on Android?
Thanks
Mike

Not natively. There might be some from third parties, but nothing built into the OS.
Android 4.4 and higher has a printing API that you can use.
Bixolon is a company that sells printers of all types. In fact, it sells printers that can connect with Android applications by an API (SDK).
Here some real example:

And here more information about it (Bixolon SPP-R200)

If anyone knows another company or printers, please share!
Thanks
Checkout out www.lob.com, they have a nice printing and mailing API that is easy to integrate with Android!
Android now includes a complete framework that allows users to print any document using a printer connected over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other services. The system handles the transaction between an app that wants to print a document and the services that deliver print jobs to a printer. The android.print framework provides all the APIs necessary to specify a print document and deliver it to the system for printing. Which APIs you actually need for a given print job depends on your content.
