6.24.0
Released: May 8, 2024
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 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.

6.23.2
Released: April 30, 2024

6.23.0
Released: March 22, 2024
New Features
Core
- Added support to set control images through a resource name.
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 theSparkScanView
. WhenpreviewBehavior
isSparkScanPreviewBehavior.PERSISTENT
, after the scan the preview does not disappear, but stays obscured and running (but not scanning) for easier aiming. - Added
Target.previewBehavior
andDefault.previewBehavior
to specify preview behavior for scanning modes. - Added initializers for Target and Default that accept
SparkScanPreviewBehavior
instead ofSparkScanScanningPrecision
. - 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
andbarcode.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
andSparkScanViewSettings.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
, andSparkScanView.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 that 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 several new features have been added in 6.23:
- Added the possibility to customize icons in
scandit.datacapture.barcode.pick.ui.RectangularWithIcons
. Seescandit.datacapture.barcode.pick.ui.RectangularWithIcons.SetIconForState
.
- Added the possibility to customize icons in
- 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
orforce_table_n
to enforce decoding with either C or N tables respectively. The symbology extensiondecode_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 support for
Symbology.Upu4State
.
ID
- Added
id.ui.IdCaptureOverlay.TextHintPosition
that allows setting of text hints position. - Added
id.ui.IdCaptureOverlay.ShowTextHints
for showing/hiding text hints. - It is now possible to run basic authenticity checks on VIZ & MRZ documents by comparing the data from the VIZ with the data decoded from the MRZ. Check
id.VizMrzComparisonVerifier
for details. This feature is currently in beta, and may still change significantly in the next releases.
Performance Improvements
ID
- Improved ID scanning performance in low-light conditions.
Bug Fixes
Barcode
- Fixed flickering of guidances in
BarcodeSelection
.
ID
- 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.

- 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.
