Hi Googie,

if the html file is in the users docs folder, use this (with a browser widget)

Code: Select all

...
put "file://" & speciallfolderpath("documents") & "/name of your html file here.html" into tURL

## The important step, urls don't like SPACES:
replace " " with "%20" in tURL
set the url of widget "your browser" to tURL
...

Best

According to the dictionary, "print" is notsupported on Android.
At least it is not listed under "Supported Platforms" for that entry.

Try with:

Code: Select all

launch url ("print://" & urlencode(specialfolderpath("documents") & "/name of your html file here.html"))

.html printing is not available on android as far as I know.

Printing HTML documents
Printing out content beyond a simple photo on Android requires composing text and graphics in a print document. The Android framework provides a way to use HTML to compose a document and print it with a minimum of code.

In Android 4.4 (API level 19), the WebView class has been updated to enable printing HTML content. ml-docs

It may need an enhancement request to allow this in the browser widget?
