Reprint request

An overview of the Reprint request message for Android.

Overview

👉 The Reprint request is used to reprint the receipt of a previously completed transaction.

The client app must implement a mechanism to send messages using Android intents and URI calls and to receive the result in a custom URI callback.

The prerequisite for executing the Reprint request is that a receipt printer is properly connected to the device.

Reprint request

For a typical Reprint request, the client app must provide the following information:

Field Description Example Card Termimal Support Character limit Type
scheme The Viva's custom URL scheme, the host and the version. 'vivapayclient://pay/v1' Android Card Terminals'viva.com | Terminal' application for Android
appId The client app ID. For successful validation, should not be empty. 'com.example.myapp' Android Card Terminals'viva.com | Terminal' application for Android
action print. For successful validation, should not be empty. 'print' Android Card Terminals'viva.com | Terminal' application for Android
command reprint. For successful validation , should not be empty. 'reprint' Android Card Terminals'viva.com | Terminal' application for Android
orderCode If not empty should be integer bigger than zero and length 16. '1020304050607080' Android Card Terminals'viva.com | Terminal' application for Android integer (int32)
callback The URI callback that will handle the result. For successful validation, should not be empty. 'mycallbackscheme://result' Android Card Terminals'viva.com | Terminal' application for Android

The above information elements must create a URI call, i.e.

String reqStr = "vivapayclient://pay/v1"
		+ "&appId=com.example.myapp"
		+ "&action=print"
		+ "&command=reprint"
		+ "&orderCode=1020304050607080"
		+ "&callback=mycallbackscheme://result";

Intent payIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse( reqStr));
payIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
payIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_EXCLUDE_FROM_RECENTS);
startActivity(payIntent);

Reprint response

After executing a Reprint request, the ‘viva.com | Terminal’ application responds with a response to indicate if the reprint request has been successful or not.

The result is received as a URI in the callback activity intent:

Uri result = getIntent().getData();

The table below summarises the contents of an approved response.
