Remarks

Name under which a PrintService component publishes additional information about itself. This meta-data must reference a XML resource containing a &lt;{@link android.R.styleable#PrintService print-service}&gt; tag. This is a sample XML file configuring a print service:

&lt;print-service
                android:vendor="SomeVendor"
                android:settingsActivity="foo.bar.MySettingsActivity"
                andorid:addPrintersActivity="foo.bar.MyAddPrintersActivity."
                . . .
            /&gt;

For detailed configuration options that can be specified via the meta-data refer to android.R.styleable#PrintService android.R.styleable.PrintService.

If you declare a settings or add a printers activity, they have to be exported, by setting the android.R.attr#exported activity attribute to true . Also in case you want only the system to be able to start any of these activities you can specify that they request the android.permission .START_PRINT_SERVICE_CONFIG_ACTIVITY permission by setting the android.R.attr#permission activity attribute.
