How to imlement print on Android using Cordova?

Question

I want to implement print functionality in Android app, I'm using AngularJS. I have tried the below code, but it works only on browser, it doesn't work on Android.

AngularJS:

$scope.print = function (divName) {
    var w = window.open();
    w.document.write($('#' + divName).html());
    w.print();
    w.close();
}

Html:

<img ng-click="print('print');" class="card-img-top image-responsive" src="./plugins/images/print.png" alt="Card image cap">


<div id="print" style="display:none;">
    <style>
        @page {
            size: auto;
            margin: 7mm;
        }

        @media all {
            .page-break {
                display: none;
            }
        }

        @media print {
            .page-break {
                display: block;
                page-break-before: always;
            }
        }
    </style>
    <div class="row">
    </div>
</div> 

Update:

I have tried the solution provided by @VicJordan, But it gives the below error.

I also had the same issue. Try to do it using cordova-plugin-printer plugin. It will solve your problem. From your code it looks you want to print div by id. Below are various usage of above plugin:

Print the whole HTML page:

var page = location.href;

cordova.plugins.printer.print(page, 'Document.html');

Print the content from one part of the page:

var page = document.getElementById('legal-notice');

cordova.plugins.printer.print(page, 'Document.html');

Print some custom content:

var page = '<h1>Hello Document</h1>';

cordova.plugins.printer.print(page, 'Document.html');
