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Please note that this is outdated documentation for an older release of the Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK.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

The full functionality of the Scandit Phonegap plugin is available under Telerik when creating a Cordova hybrid app. However testing the picker using the simulator or the companion app is not possible.

Including the Scandit Barcode Scanner SDK plugin into your project

  • Browser-based IDE: Open the "Properties" tab of your project (in the "Code" page), go to "Plugins" and chose "Import". Select the zip file downloaded from scandit.com
  • CLI: Run
    1 appbuilder plugin fetch <path-to-plugin>/scandit-barcodescanner-phonegap_VERSION.zip
    in your project folder

Supported Cordova Versions

Targetting a cordova version <= 3.5 (Android 3.5.1) may result in a failure to build the scandit plugin.
