Datalogic Android SDK 1.46 is now available.

The latest update to the Datalogic SDK introduces a broad set of new features and improvements focused on enhancing device flexibility, expanding scanning capabilities, and strengthening enterprise integration.

Key additions include the Camera Wedge Always-On mode, allowing continuous scanning when the camera wedge is active, and the new CameraWedgePreviewManager class, which provides a live preview interface while the feature is running. The Auto Scan Trigger system has been extended with a new CUSTOM_RANGE option, offering greater control over scan sensitivity, while cradle functionality now supports SoHo cradles with updated properties and thermal protection handling.

To further improve power management, the SDK adds a PowerStatus notification system and refines the Enterprise Battery Saver, now supporting rate control in bps. Several new display management options have also been introduced, including brightness range limits, facedown detection.

For users leveraging Desktop Mode, new properties now allow control over the visibility of hotseat in dual screen mode.

Finally, for security, the new APP_INFO_HIDDEN property restricts access to system settings via the App Info shortcut, while the EXTRA_SYSTEM_FIRMWARE_UPGRADE_WIPE_ESIM_PROFILES flag enables secure eSIM profile handling during system upgrades. Additional enhancements include Item Tracking APIs, SOS button support, new OCR format options (TD2, MRVA, MRVB).
