Datalogic Android SDK 1.45 is now available.

The Scanner Service now supports including the image frame - or a cropped section containing the decoded barcode - alongside the decoding result, if configured. This image can be accessed via both the Java listener API and Intent Wedge, providing enterprise applications with valuable visual context for each scanned barcode and enhancing workflows that require image-based confirmation.

You can access the documentation here.

Enhancements​

• DecodeResult now supports supplying a Bitmap of a scanned barcode.

Datalogic Android SDK 1.44 is now available.

The latest update to the Datalogic SDK introduces a series of new features and enhancements focused on improving power efficiency, extending device lifespan, and offering greater customization for enterprise environments.

Key additions include the Enterprise Battery Saver, which reduces overall power consumption, and Smart Charging, which optimizes the battery charging process to preserve battery health over time.

To protect device displays, a new Screensaver feature has been added, helping to prevent screen burn-in and extend display longevity. For users leveraging Desktop Mode, new properties now allow control over which apps launch on the device display or external screen when docking or undocking.

Finally, a new WIFI_NETWORK_SHARE_DIMMED property has been introduced to prevent the display of Wi-Fi credentials in plain text. In addition, the configuration of notification now supports regular expressions providing customers with more flexible and powerful tools.

Datalogic Android SDK 1.43 is now available.

Key updates include the addition of Camera Wedge support, allowing the scan engine to replace the rear camera. This provides third-party apps that rely on the camera stream for barcode decoding with more accurate and suitable images. Additionally, the new Scanner-Camera interoperability feature enables barcode scanning even when the camera is in use, whereas previously, the scanner was blocked from starting if the camera was in preview mode.

The Good Read experience has been improved with the introduction of new properties for full-color overlays. The Keyboard Wedge now includes a configurable delay between printable and non-printable key events, applied before and after each non-printable character when using the keyboard wedge in commit text or text injection modes.

You can access the documentation here.

Enhancements​

• Camera Wedge capability added both to Configuration Manager and to Barcode Manager
• SCANNER_CAMERA_INTEROPERABILITY option to manage the concurrency between Scanner and Camera
• WEDGE_KEYBOARD_NON_PRINTABLE_KEY_EVENT_DELAY property added to introduce a delay between the printable text and the non-printable key events
