6.28.0-beta-1​

Released: September 10, 2024

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Our Barode Generator now allows the generation of Aztec codes. See AztecBarcodeGeneratorBuilder.
  • On Barcode Capture and SparkScan, we optimized the frame processing time in 4k-UHD resolution with dynamic resolution selection, resulting in up to 35% reduction on high-end devices and consistent performance improvements across all supported devices. platforms.
  • Added BarcodeFindView.ShouldShowZoomControl which enables the display of a button that allows switching to ultra wide lenses on supported devices for scanning at close range in narrow environments.

ID​

Label​

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Smart Scan Intention: Introduced a new algorithm that intelligently identifies and scans the intended barcode, reducing errors. Enabled by default in SparkScan (SparkScanSettings.scanIntention) and can be manually set in Barcode Capture (BarcodeCaptureSettings.scanIntention).

  • Improved Scanning Range: Enhanced the scanning range for 1D barcodes on Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) and paper shelf labels by 30-40% in both Full HD and 4K, without compromising scanning speed. This improvement benefits scanning tiny barcodes and ESLs, especially those on top or bottom shelves.

  • User-Facing Camera: SparkScan now allows switching to the user-facing camera for scanning. Useful in scenarios where the rear camera is not accessible or barcodes are hard to reach. See SparkScanView.cameraSwitchButtonVisible.

  • Dynamic Item List in MatrixScan Find: Added support for dynamically modifying the list of items to be found by calling BarcodeFind.setItemList() during a scanning session.

6.23.0​

Released: March 22, 2024

New Features​

Barcode​

  • SparkScan has received a number of updates and improvements:

    • The target mode has been improved with better performances (faster selection of barcodes), a more consistent workflow (the target mode will only show the aimer, without changing the preview size or the way barcodes are scanned), and a better UI (new aimer and new icon).
    • The preview size is now independent from scanning mode or scanning precision (deprecated) parameters. Instead, it is controlled by a dedicated control added to the preview. Use SparkScanView.previewSizeControlVisible to define if the preview size control should be displayed.
    • The "accuracy" workflow has been revisited and streamlined into a more consistent and performant workflow.
    • Developers can set SparkScanPreviewBehavior to specify the preview behavior type of the SparkScanView. When previewBehavior is SparkScanPreviewBehavior.PERSISTENT, after the scan the preview does not disappear, but stays obscured and running (but not scanning) for easier aiming.
    • Added Target.previewBehavior and Default.previewBehavior to specify preview behavior for scanning modes.
    • Added initializers for Target and Default that accept SparkScanPreviewBehavior instead of SparkScanScanningPrecision.
    • Toast messages are now displayed on top of the preview rather than the scan button. Additional toast messages have been added for better guidance.
    • Added barcode.spark.ui.SparkScanToastSettings.TorchEnabledMessage and barcode.spark.ui.SparkScanToastSettings.TorchDisabledMessage to specify toast messages when the torch is enabled or disabled.
    • The zoom functionality is now independent of scanning mode and is available in both default and target modes.
    • Added SparkScanViewSettings.zoomFactorOut and SparkScanViewSettings.zoomFactorIn to specify the default zoom factor in zoomed out and zoomed in states for both scanning modes, default and target.
    • The feedback emission system has been improved: for new implementation, there is no need to explicitly emit a success feedback on scan, as it became implicit.
    • Added SparkScanBarcodeFeedback, SparkScanFeedbackDelegate, and SparkScanView.feedbackDelegate to define and emit feedback that can be customized for every scanned barcode.
    • Added SparkScanViewSettings.inactiveStateTimeout to specify the timeout to automatically stop scanning across all modes.

  • Barcode Pick is an API that implements MatrixScan Pick. MatrixScan Pick is an out-of-the-box scan solution; it uses real-time inventory data and augmented reality to assign precise, item-specific tasks, guaranteeing pinpoint accuracy in restocking, inventory audits, and parcel delivery. Barcode Pick is no longer in beta and a new feature has been added in 6.23:

    • Added BarcodePickStatusIconStyle to display additional information on top of the regular highlight.
    • Added BarcodePickViewHighlightStyle to visualize a custom view on top of the tracked barcodes.
    • Added BarcodePickListener to listen to BarcodePickSession to know the items currently on screen and the newly added items.

  • Added support for Symbology.AUSTRALIANPOST. By default, customer information is decoded with Table N, and Table C is used as a fallback. To set a specific decoding table for the customer information, use the symbology extensions: force_table_c or force_table_n to enforce decoding with either C or N tables respectively. The symbology extension decode_bar_states returns the error-corrected customer information bars as a string of the bar states: A for ascending, D for descending, T for tracker, and F for full.

  • Added getter and setter methods for hints shown when a barcode not in the expected list is scanned in BarcodeCountView (see BarcodeCountView.getTextForBarcodesNotInListDetectedHint() and BarcodeCountView.setTextForBarcodesNotInListDetectedHint()).

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • Improved tracking robustness for low-end devices in MatrixScan Count.

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed the placement of BarcodeTrackingAdvancedOverlay for right-to-left layout direction.
  • Fixed flickering of guidances in BarcodeSelection.

ID​

  • Fixed a crash that happened when scanning an Argentina ID document that contained non-UTF-8 characters in the barcode.
  • Fixed issues with scanning AAMVA documents (barcode part) that contain characters from non-English alphabets.
  • Fixed a licensing issue where a Barcode Scanner license was wrongly required when scanning the back side of a UK driver’s license.
  • Fixed a crash when scanning a passport MRZ then a non-passport VIZ.

Core​

  • Fixed the radius of the radius location selection for cases where the DataCaptureView's aspect ratio is considerably different from the aspect ratio of the camera frames.

Label​

  • Fixed the placement of LabelCaptureAdvancedOverlay for right-to-left layout direction.

Deprecations​

Barcode​

SparkScan received a number of updates and improvements:

  • New APIs have been added to SparkScan to deliver a number of updates and improvements. At the same time, some of the existing APIs have become irrelevant.
  • Deprecated SparkScanScanningPrecision. Replaced by SparkScanPreviewBehavior because the "accurate" workflow has been simplified.
  • Deprecated Target and Default initializers that accepted SparkScanScanningPrecision. Replaced by initializers that accept SparkScanPreviewBehavior instead.
  • Deprecated Target.scanningPrecision and Default.scanningPrecision. Replaced with Target.previewBehavior and Default.previewBehavior to specify preview behavior for scanning modes.
  • Deprecated SparkScanView.shouldShowTargetModeHint and SparkScanView.targetModeHintText. This hint is not displayed anymore due to changes in Target scanning mode.
  • Deprecated barcode.spark.ui.SparkScanToastSettings.CameraTimeoutMessage because a toast with this message is not displayed anymore due to changes in the SparkScan toast system.
  • Deprecated SparkScanViewSettings.targetZoomFactorOut and SparkScanViewSettings.targetZoomFactorIn. Replaced by SparkScanViewSettings.zoomFactorOut and SparkScanViewSettings.zoomFactorIn.
  • Deprecated SparkScanViewSettings.continuousCaptureTimeout. Replaced by SparkScanViewSettings.inactiveStateTimeout.
  • Deprecated SparkScanViewFeedback, SparkScanFeedback, SparkScanView.brush, and SparkScanView.emitFeedback(). These classes and methods are not used anymore. Use SparkScanBarcodeFeedback and SparkScanView.feedbackDelegate.

6.22.1​

Released: March 13, 2024

ParserDataFormat.IATA_BCBP supports the latest specifications from the 2023-2024 Passenger Services Conference Resolution Manual (PSCRM). For the complete documentation of the standard, please refer to the official website.
  • SparkScan has been updated with some UI improvements:
    • The minimized trigger button has been redesigned to occupy less space when the scanner is stopped.
    • The expanded trigger button has been slightly decreased in size, to leave more space for the underlying application.
    • The setting toolbar shows by default fewer options (Target Mode and Torch), to offer a less crowded and more efficient user experience. The visibility of all the icons can still be personalized in the SparkScanView.
  • Added BarcodeGenerator.upcaBarcodeGeneratorBuilder() to generate UPCA barcodes.
  • Added QR symbology extension called strict to suppress rare QR reader false positives. strict reduces the scan robustness of damaged codes.
  • Introduced smart battery management to lower the energy consumption and increase the up-time of the device. In our tests (repeatedly scanning a sequence of 5 different labels mimicking the user movement), this led to an improvement of up to 15% in battery life. This option is disabled by default, but it can be enabled via BarcodeCaptureSettings.batterySavingMode, deciding whether it’s automatic, always on, or always off (default).

ID​

  • Added AamvaVizBarcodeComparisonResult.frontMismatchImage that visualizes the document data printed on the front side that differs from what is encoded in the barcode. Please contact Scandit Support if you want to use this feature.

6.20.0​

Released: November 7, 2023

New Features​

Barcode​

SparkScan has been expanded with a range of new features and improvements:

  • Introduced a smart battery management to lower the energy consumption and increase the up-time of the device. In our tests (repeatedly scanning a sequence of 5 different labels mimicking the user movement), this led to an improvement of up to 15% in battery life. This option is enabled by default, but it is possible to control it via battery saving mode, deciding whether it’s automatic (default), always on, or always off.
  • Added SparkScanViewUiListener.onScanningModeChange() and SparkScanView.getScanningMode() for getting information when the SparkScanScanningMode changes and to get the currently used SparkScanScanningMode. This is useful, for example, to apply different settings when the Target Mode (or the Continuous Mode) is enabled/disabled.
  • Added a gesture to collapse the trigger button with a swipe from the setting toolbar to the edge of the screen.
  • The setting toolbar icons have been slightly redesigned and grouped in categories.
  • Added contextual messages within the trigger button, called toasts, to guide the user while interacting with the UI. SparkScan offers a series of built-in messages, but custom messages can be shown by using the method SparkScanView.showToast(). For more information, check SparkScanToastSettings.
  • Added support for Symbology.UPU4STATE.

ID​

  • AamvaBarcodeVerifier now performs document verification entirely on-device. However, to use it, an additional artifact is now required. Check documentation for details.
  • For ID cards issued by the United Arab Emirates, data parsed from the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) is now returned automatically when IdDocumentType.ID_CARD_VIZ and SupportedSides.FRONT_AND_BACK are selected.

6.19.0​

Released: September 19, 2023

New Features​

Barcode​

  • If you are not familiar with the symbologies that are relevant for your use case, you can now use our capture presets <scandit.datacapture.barcode.CapturePreset>, pre-defined groups of symbologies that are tailored for different verticals (e.g. retail, logistics, etc.). You can use them through the new constructors for scandit.datacapture.barcode.spark.SparkScanSettings and :type:scandit.datacapture.barcode.BarcodeCaptureSettings.
  • Added support for the scandit.datacapture.barcode.Symbology.ArUco symbology.
  • Added a new “accuracy” workflow in SparkScan. This workflow is particularly useful when the use-cases implies lots of barcodes close together or in crowded scenarios, and requires the end-user the possibility to look through the preview at all times to better control the scan and aim precisely. See SparkScanScanningPrecision.
  • BarcodeFind has been expanded with a range of new features:
    • Added scandit.datacapture.barcode.find.ui.BarcodeFindView.ShouldShowTorchControl and scandit.datacapture.barcode.find.ui.BarcodeFindView.TorchControlPosition to allow displaying and positioning a button to turn the device's torch on and off in BarcodeFind.
    • Added a constructor for scandit.datacapture.barcode.find.ui.BarcodeFindView using a provided :type:core.ui.DataCaptureView.

ID​

  • Renamed AamvaCloudVerifier to id.AamvaBarcodeVerifier, which allows the verification of id.CapturedId. -Added id.IdCaptureFeedback. ID Capture allows to configure sound & vibration feedback to emit when a document is captured, rejected or the timeout occurs. By default the feedback is emitted when a document is captured. -- Added support for extracting information in Arabic script for several documents.

Core​

  • Added datacapture.core.ui.IFocusGesture.ShowUIIndicator, can be used to disable the default visual indicator that is shown when a focus gesture is triggered.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • Improved performance when a lot of symbologies are enabled when using barcode.BarcodeCapture or barcode.spark.SparkScan.
  • Added support for Code128 with damaged end patterns (missing, fused or covered bars). This support is automatically disabled if “strict mode” is selected.
  • Improved QR code reader robustness for medium to large codes with small local deformations (e.g. crumpling, bending) or damage.
  • Improved responsiveness of AR overlays in MatrixScan and Barcode Selection.

API Changes​

ID​

  • The ScanditTextCaptureBase module has been removed. Use ScanditIdCaptureBackend if you need to capture the human readable part of ID documents, ScanditTextCaptureBackend if you use TextCapture, or both, if you need both capabilities.
  • Added id.DateResult.LocalDate and id.DateResult.UtcDate which convert the date result to java.util.Date using device’s local time zone or the UTC time zone respectively. They replace id.DateResult.ToDate, which is now deprecated.
  • Removed id.IdDocumentType.UsVisaViz, id.IdDocumentType.VisaMrz should be used instead.
  • Added id.CapturedId.DocumentAdditionalNumber which represents the additional number of the document.

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

  • Changed the behavior of barcode.spark.ui.SparkScanView to always revert back to the barcode.spark.ui.SparkScanViewSettings.DefaultScanningMode and barcode.spark.ui.SparkScanViewSettings.DefaultTorchState when barcode.spark.ui.SparkScanView is closed.
