BarcodeManager

Barcode start decode intent action. It is possible to start a capture session in order to scan a barcode from an application, sending a specific broadcast intent.

Example:
public int startDecodingIntent() {
  Intent myintent = new Intent();
  myintent.setAction(ACTION_START_DECODE);
}
Otherwise application can associate this intent to a physical key code through the KeyboardManager mapIntent method.

Barcode stop decode intent action. When an application sends this broadcast intent, the system stops scanning.

Example:
public int stopDecodingIntent() {
  Intent myintent = new Intent();
  myintent.setAction(ACTION_STOP_DECODE);
}

Android keycode representing the scanning functionality, in accordance with android.view.KeyEvent.

It is possible to associate a device generic button to the scanning functionality through the mapping mechanism and the VScanEntry, this means a specific scan code can be mapped to the desired Android keycode.

This is the constructor of BarcodeManager.

Registers a DeinitListener to be notified when a event of Scanner de-initiliazion is triggered. Call removeDeinitListener(DeinitListener) before the application closes to properly shut down the listener.

Registers a FrameCaptureListener to be notified when a frame capture event is triggered. Call removeFrameCaptureListener(FrameCaptureListener) before the application closes to properly shut down the listener.

Registers a FrameSaveListener to be notified when a frame save event is triggered. Call removeFrameSaveListener(FrameSaveListener) before the application closes to properly shut down the listener.

Registers a InitListener to be notified when a event of completed Scanner initialization is triggered. Call removeInitListener(InitListener) before the application closes to properly shut down the listener.

Registers a PresentationStateListener to be notified when a presentation mode state change event is triggered. Call removePresentationStateListener(PresentationStateListener) before the application closes to properly shut down the listener.

Registers a ReadListener to be notified when a read event is triggered. Call removeReadListener(ReadListener) before the application closes to properly shut down the listener.

Registers a StartListener to be notified when a scan started event is triggered. Call removeStartListener(StartListener) before the application closes to properly shut down the listener.

Registers a StopListener to be notified when a scan stopped event is triggered. Call removeStopListener(StopListener) before the application closes to properly shut down the listener.

Registers a TimeoutListener to be notified when a scan timeout event is triggered. Call removeTimeoutListener(TimeoutListener) before the application closes to properly shut down the listener.

Saves the configuration. The configuration is saved in a persistent way across system reboot. See persistance note.

Enables or disables all supported symbologies.
Note:
when the decoding configuration changes due a call to this method, it is not saved in a persistent way across system reboot. See persistance note.

Example:
public int enableAll() {
  decoder.enableAllSymbologies(true);
}

Enables or disables a barcode symbology type.
Note:
when the decoding configuration changes due a call to this method, it is not saved in a persistent way across system reboot. See persistance note.

Example:
public int enableCode39(BarcodeManager decoder) {
  decoder.enableSymbology(Symbology.CODE39, true);
}

Gets the input device in use.

Returns the list of custom OCR configurations found in the device.

Retrieves the availability, the support, for the passed programming parameters.

Gets one or more label programming parameters of type Integer.

Gets one or more property ranges for the passed programming parameters.

Gets one or more label programming parameters of type String.

Gets the list of supported input devices.

Checks if the Scanner Service is correctly initialized.

Returns current enable setting for a particular barcode symbology.

Example:
public boolean isCode39Enabled(BarcodeManager decoder) {
  return decoder.isSymbologyEnabled(Symbology.CODE39);
}

Return true if the device's decoder is able to read a particular barcode symbology.

Example:
public boolean isQRSupported(BarcodeManager decoder) {
  return decoder.isSymbologySupported(Symbology.QRCODE);
}

Call this method to simulate a trigger button pressure.
The method does not always start immediately a capture, instead it behaves like pressing scan button.

Removes and clears all the registered listeners, in case some application did not call removal methods.

Call this method to simulate a release of a the trigger button.
The method does not always stop immediately a capture, instead it behaves like releasing scan button.

Unregisters a DeinitListener associated with the decoder.

Unregisters a FrameCaptureListener associated with the decoder.

Unregisters a FrameSaveListener associated with the decoder.

Unregisters a InitListener associated with the decoder.

Unregisters a PresentationStateListener associated with the decoder.

Unregisters a ReadListener associated with the decoder.

Unregisters a StartListener associated with the decoder.

Unregisters a StopListener associated with the decoder.

Unregisters a TimeoutListener associated with the decoder.

Sets the input device in use.

Set factory defaults for all barcode symbology types.
Note:
when the decoding configuration changes due a call to this method, it is not saved in a persistent way across system reboot. See persistance note.

Example:
public int setAllDefaults(BarcodeManager decoder) {
  decoder.setDefaults();
}

Sets one or more label programming parameters of type Integer. The change is not persistent across system reboot. See persistance note.

Sets one or more label programming parameters of type String. The change is not persistent across system reboot. See persistance note.

Call this method to start decoding.
If the trigger is already active, the present timeout is reset to the new value and the count starts again.

Example:
public int startDecodingForFiveSeconds(BarcodeManager decoder) {
  decoder.startDecode(5000);
}

Call this method to start decoding.
Default timeout or the one set through the SDK will be applied.

Example:
public int startDecoding(BarcodeManager decoder) {
  decoder.startDecode();
}

This stops any data acquisition currently in progress.

Example:
public int abortDecoding(BarcodeManager decoder) {
  decoder.stopDecode();
}
