Deprecation warning

Please note that this is outdated documentation for an older release of the Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK.

We are deprecating the 5.x API on all platforms (except Linux). Release 5.19 in April 2021 will be our final. Applications running 5.x will continue to work, and we will continue to release critical bug fixes and security patches only, for one year. We encourage you to migrate to 6.x and take advantage of our latest / advanced features and improved performance.

You'll find the updated documentation at: Data Capture SDK Documentation for Android

Detailed Description

Barcode Picker Activity that can be configured through an intent by passing an app key as well as a secondary app key.

Sample Usage

The following code shows how to start the BarcodePickerActivity to scan a retail code (UPCA, EAN13, EAN8, UPCE):

Intent launchIntent = new Intent(MyActivity.this, BarcodePickerActivity.class);
launchIntent.putExtra("appKey", "Your Scandit BarcodeScanner App Key Goes Here");
launchIntent.putExtra("secondaryAppKey", "Your secondary Scandit BarcodeScanner App Key Goes Here");
launchIntent.putExtra("enabledSymbologies", new int[] {
Barcode.SYMBOLOGY_EAN13,
Barcode.SYMBOLOGY_EAN8,
Barcode.SYMBOLOGY_UPCA,
Barcode.SYMBOLOGY_UPCE
});
// start activity and listen for result.
startActivityForResult(launchIntent, 42);

Member Function Documentation

void setupScanUIFromIntent ( BarcodePicker  picker,
Intent  intent 
)
protectedinherited

Uses the configuration options in the intent to setup the scan UI.

You can override this method to further customize the scan UI.

Parameters
pickerthe picker to configure.
intentthe intent used to launch the activity.
void didScan ( ScanSession  session)
inherited

Called whenever a new barcode has been successfully recognized.

Newly recognized codes are available as ScanSession.getNewlyRecognizedCodes(). When didScan callback is invoked, there is always at least one new code available.

The callback is invoked in the thread running the barcode recognition engine. This means, any change to the graphical user interface will have to be moved to the UI thread. Likewise, Since the callback blocks the engine, any expensive calculation should be posted to a Handler.

When no more codes should be scanned, call ScanSession.stopScanning, when the scan session should be paused, call ScanSession.pauseScanning. Calling these two methods is preferred over calling BarcodePicker.stopScanning and BarcodePicker.pauseScanning, as it will immediately stop/pause the scanning.

Note, it is only safe to access the session object inside the didScan callback, but you can safely store the lists of barcodes returned by ScanSession.getAllRecognizedCodes and ScanSession.getNewlyRecognizedCodes

Parameters
