Wedge
Use this settings to enable or disable the keyboard wedge and the intent wedge.
Enable Keyboard Wedge
Enables/disables the keyboard wedge mode.
Keyboard Wedge Only on Focus
If selected, the scanner is enabled whenever a text area is in focus and can receive text.
It provides a safer way to input keystrokes into the foreground application, allowing to send captured data in the form of key events only to the current text area with active keyboard input.
If this setting is not enabled, keystrokes will be always dispatched to the foreground application.
Keyboard Wedge Input Mode
Allows to select the scanned data input mode.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Text Injection | The scanned barcode is injected into the text area. |
| Key Pressure | The scanned barcode is translated into keyboard strokes. |
| Commit Text | The printable characters are injected into the text area, emulating the pressure of keyboard keys for not printable keys. |
Non-printable key event delay
Delay applied before and after every non printable character. This is valid only for the Commit text and the Text injection modes of the keyboard wedge.
Intent Wedge
Enables the broadcast of specific intents to the listening applications. The broadcasted intent can have its custom Action, Category and extra content fields. The scanner is enabled whenever the intent option is flagged.
Enable intent wedge
Enables the captured data to be sent to an application in the form of an implicit intent.
Intent delivery mode

Intent action
The general action to be performed. The default string value is com.datalogic.decodewedge.decode_action.
Intent category
The intent category gives additional information about the action to execute. The default string value is com.datalogic.decodewedge.decode_category.
Intent extra barcode string
The key that corresponds to the intent extra data. The default string value is com.datalogic.decode.intentwedge.barcode_string.
Intent extra barcode type
Specifies an explicit MIME data type. Typically, the type is inferred from the data. By setting the type, you force a specific type and disable evaluation of the data. The default string value is com.datalogic.decode.intentwedge.barcode_type.
Intent extra barcode data
The extra data. The default string value is com.datalogic.decode.intentwedge.barcode_data.
Intent extra barcode user ID
The intent extra key that corresponds to the user ID. The default string value is com.datalogic.decode.intentwedge.barcode_user_id.
Intent extra barcode aim ID
The intent extra key that corresponds to the AIM ID. The default string value is com.datalogic.decode.intentwedge.barcode_aim_id.
Intent extra barcode crop

Enable Web Wedge
Enables direct data input into internet browsing applications, in the form of a valid URL.
Camera Wedge
If enabled, it replaces the rear camera with a virtual camera showing the barcodes read by the scanner. You can customize the barcode type, persistence, orientation, size, color and position.
Enable camera wedge
Substitute the rear camera with a virtual camera showing the barcodes decoded from the scanner. To enable the Camera Wedge, set the Input type to Scan engine (see Input Selection).

| QR Code | The generated barcode is a QR Code, only the content is preserved. |
| Data Matrix | The generated barcode is a Data Matrix, only the content is preserved. |
Max Barcode Persistence
Barcode persistence time in the video flow after it was decoded and presented in the video.
Min Barcode Persistence
Barcode granted persistence time before showing a different decoded barcode. It could be useful if two different barcodes are rapidly decoded. In the video flow, they will be presented with a time distance defined by this parameter.
Barcode Orientation
Sets the orientation of the barcode within camera frames. The available options are:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Auto | Barcode orientation inherited by the device orientation. |
| Portrait | Barcode portrait orientation in the video frame. |
