Overview

This sample application will show how the Simulscan API's can be used to capture multiple types of data from forms, boxes and the like.

Prerequisites

You will need:

  • A SimulScan licensed device
  • A Simulscan template
  • A printed copy of the form used to create the template

Requirements

Android API 19 must be installed via the SDK Manager before attempting to load this sample.

Loading the Sample Application

  1. Choose a sample and click the See Details button.
  2. Now click the Download button
  3. IMPORTANT: Extract the downloaded project zip file to C:\ (or to the root of an alternate drive).
  4. Navigate to the root of the unzipped project folder and double-click the .sln file. The project loads in the default IDE for that file type.

Alternatively, launch a preferred IDE and load the project via the File > Open menu.

Using This Sample

  1. Place a template on the sdcard of you SimulScan licensed device.

    
    adb push myTemplate.xml /sdcard/simulscan/templates/
