example of how you can display data as a report in a .NET MAUI application for Android:
Create a .NET MAUI Application: Start by creating a new .NET MAUI application targeting Android.
Design the Report Page: Add a new page to your application to display the report. You can use XAML or code-behind to define the UI. Here's an example using XAML:
Handle Print Button Click: Implement the
OnPrintClickedevent handler for the print button. In this method, generate the report data and load it into the WebView control. Here's an example:Print Function: Implement the
Printfunction to print the report using the Android printing system. Here's an example:Run the Application: Build and run your .NET MAUI application on an Android device or emulator. When you click the "Print Report" button, the report data will be loaded into the WebView, and the print dialog will be displayed for the user to print the report.

Thanks to Tuhin Paul for the answer, but what I need is a way/code to be able to print the displayed data to a thermal printer, which is usually connected via bluetooth, the example described by Mohamed Azarudeen is close, but can't be implemented, maybe there are steps that not enough.
This my code

In the XAML file (MainPage.xaml), add a ListView control to display the data
In code-behind file (MainPage.xaml.cs), set the data context and populate the ReportData collection with the data
Create a view model (MainViewModel.cs) to provide the data to the view

Thanks to Mohamed Azarudeen for the answer, but the method you presented cannot be implemented on .net maui, I have tried to create a pdf document to print according to your instructions using Gembox, and added the packages Xamarin.Essentials and Xamarin.AndroidX.Print, as well as adding permissions to the AndroidManifest.xml file, but the print method of the example you provided is unknown, but it is directed to use the Microsoft.Graph package, so I can't continue, or is there a possibility that I missed a step

.NET MAUI, you can use the
PrintManagerclass to handle printing tasks, including generating and displaying printable reports. Here's an example of how you can print data and display it as a report in a .NET MAUI Android application:First, make sure you have the
PrintandPrintPreviewpermissions added to your Android project'sAndroidManifest.xmlfileMohamed Azarudeen ZPosted May 25, 2023, 1:13 PM
Hi salim try this
To display data as a report that can be printed in a .NET MAUI Android application, you can use the printing capabilities provided by the underlying Android platform. Here's an outline of the steps involved:
1. Install the required NuGet packages:
- Xamarin.Essentials: Provides cross-platform APIs, including printing functionality.
- Xamarin.AndroidX.Print: AndroidX library that enables printing support on Android.
2. Request the necessary permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml file:
- Add the following permissions to enable printing:
3. Implement the printing functionality in your .NET MAUI application:
- Define a method to handle the print functionality, which will generate and display the report.
- Within the print method, you can use libraries or frameworks (e.g., PDFSharp, Syncfusion, etc.) to generate a printable document from your data.
- Once you have the document, you can use the Xamarin.Essentials API to initiate the printing process.
Here's an example of a basic implementation for printing a PDF document:
Make sure to adapt the code based on your specific requirements, including generating the report document using a suitable PDF library or other frameworks.
Remember to handle any necessary error checking, permissions, and exception handling to ensure a smooth printing experience.
With this implementation, you should be able to generate a report document and print it from your .NET MAUI Android application.
