[mono-android] Android devices with Barcode-scanner Hardware

[EaranMaleasi]

Hey guys,

I have to look around the web and gather informations about Barcode-scanner
devices with Windows Mobile or Android as OS. While Microsoft has an example
of how to implement an Barcode scanner in the msdn, i can't find anything
for android. I looked up the Android Reference so far, but the only thing i
get are the sensors, but each one seems to be specified. So how is it
possible to access a physical Barcode Scanner?  Motorola MC 40

Hi

ZebraCrossing library uses device camera and it works really great. 
ZebraCrossing is on Component Store and free.

Beware to use only devices with autofocus otherwise results are not great.

regards

Mel

i already have a camera scanning system, but i want to use the physical
scanner. Well might get an answer when i ask motorola about their device,
but surely there are more devices from other manufacturers. I don't want to
write code for each device existing.

Hi Earan.

This is a supposition, so may be completely wrong ;).

Did you tryed to enumerate the COM ports from the device and read from them
when you scan something?

The most usual on devices with integrated hardware is to connect it through
virtual COM ports, also, in the datasheet should be some information
regarding on how is the device attached.

Cheers.

In most cases barcode scanners emulate keyboard strokes. In this case you
just have to handle the input an in some cases (depending on the model and
settings) remove a suffix and/or prefix. Bluetooth scanners usually work
the same (as a BT keybard) and in some cases they emulate serial pirt via
bluetooth. But everything depends on the model...
