Barcode

Enterprise Browser 1.7

Overview

The Barcode Module controls functionality of the device scanner. Check the platform indicators in each property or method section. If developing for a device with only a camera, the number of symbologies available will be limited to the most common, such as EAN13 and UPCA, and scanning will be available only through the device camera. If the app is running on more well-equipped hardware, finer control over a more fully featured Scanner is available, often with a choice of scanner hardware to use on the device.

If the use case involves capturing a single barcode type (for example, a pricing kiosk app) Zebra recommends using the Barcode.take(callback) method. If the app will decode multiple barcode types common in enterprise scenarios (for example a warehouse inventory and receiving app), Zebra recommends using the Barcode.enable(callback) method.

Notes:

  • Only foreground apps have access to scanning hardware. When an app is sent to the background, its state is saved and scanner control is automatically relinquished. When a scanner app returns to the foreground, its previous state is reapplied.

  • On the VC70, the scanner will work only if connected in SSI Mode.

  • The RE 2.x Scanner API and the EB 1.x Barcode API should not be used simultaneously in any Enterprise Browser application; only one or the other should be used.

Enabling the API

There are two methods of enabling the Barcode API:

  • Include all 'ebapi' modules
  • Include only the required API modules

For either of these methods, one or more files must be copied to the device from the /Enterprise Browser/JavaScript Files/Enterprise Browser directory on the computer that contains the Enterprise Browser installation.

Include all API modules

To include all APIs, copy the ebapi-modules.js file to a location accessible by the app's files and include a reference to the JavaScript file in the app's HTML. For instance, to include the modules file in the app's index.html, copy the file to the same directory as that index.html and add the following line to the HTML's HEAD section:


<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="ebapi-modules.js"></script>

The code above defines the EB class within the page. Note that the path for this file is relative to the current page (index.html). Any page on which the modules are required must include a reference to the required .js file(s) in this fashion.

Include only the required modules

To include individual APIs, first include a reference to the ebapi.js module in the HTML, and then the additional required API file(s). For instance, to use the Barcode API, add the following code to the HTML file(s), assuming the API files have been copied to the same directory as the HTML.


<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="ebapi.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="eb.barcode.js"></script>

In the lines above, notice that ebapi.js is included first, followed by eb.barcode.js, which is the Barcode API for Enterprise Browser. This coding is required on each HTML page whenever an individual API will be called from that page.

        allDecoders

        Type

        BOOLEAN

        Description

        When set to true, the barcode scanner reads all barcode types that the scanner is capable of reading. When set to false, the barcode scanner can decode no symbologies. A setting of false can be useful for resetting the scanner to a default state before subsequently enabling only the required symbologies. The fewer symbologies enabled, the faster the decoding performance.

        This property will return true only if all symbologies supported by the scanner are enabled. Returns a value of false if only a subset of supported symbologies are enabled. Note that some decoders will not be enabled as some symbologies use the same systems to encode data, making it impossible to differentiate between them. For example: "canpostal" and "auspostal" both use a 4-state system, so devices will enable either "canpostal" OR "auspostal" ONLY when "alldecoders" is enabled. Note that other symbologies also share the 4-state system.

        picklistEx

        Type

        STRING

        Description

        Allows the imager or camera to decode only the barcode that is directly under the cross-hair (+)/center of the reticle part of the pattern. This feature is useful in applications where multiple barcodes may appear in the field of view during a decode session and only one of them is targeted for decode. It supports on Android with EMDK version 6.3 and above.

        Values

        Possible Values (STRING):

        • Constant: EB.Barcode.PICKLISTEX_DISABLED - String: disabled Disables Picklist mode. Any barcode within the field of view can be decoded.
        • Constant: EB.Barcode.PICKLISTEX_HARDWARE_RETICLE - String: hardwareReticle Enables the HARDWARE Picklist mode so that only the barcode that is directly under the cross-hair or center of reticle is decoded. This is useful when used in conjunction with the static and dynamic reticle viewfinder modes. This mode is not applicable when there is no projected reticle like camera scanning.
        • Constant: EB.Barcode.PICKLISTEX_SOFTWARE_RETICLE - String: softwareReticle Enables the SOFTWARE Picklist mode so that only the barcode that is directly under the cross-hair or center of reticle is decoded. This is useful when used in conjunction with the static and dynamic reticle viewfinder modes.

        picklistMode

        Type

        STRING

        Description

        Allows the imager to decode only the barcode that is directly under the cross-hair on Android and center of the reticle on WM/CE. This feature is most useful in applications where multiple barcodes may appear in the field of view during a decode session and only one of them is targeted for decode. When enabled picklistMode will override aimMode or, if no aiming is chosen, and use aimMode:reticle. This mode will also interact with viewfinderMode, see the EMDK for C help file for more information. Enabling picklist mode may adversely affect overall decoding performance.

        Values

        Possible Values (STRING):

        • Constant: EB.Barcode.PICKLIST_DISABLED - String: disabled Disables picklist mode so any barcode within the field of view can be decoded.
        • Constant: EB.Barcode.PICKLIST_HARDWARE_RETICLE - String: hardwareReticle Enables picklist mode so that only the barcode under the projected reticle can be decoded. On Windows, if the imager does not support a projected reticle then the behavior is the same as softwareReticle. On Android, this is only supported for Imager (non-viewfinder) based scanners.
        • Constant: EB.Barcode.PICKLIST_SOFTWARE_RETICLE - String: softwareReticle Enables picklist mode so that only the barcode in the center of the image is decoded on WM/CE and under the cross-hair on Android. This is most useful when used in conjunction with static and dynamic reticle viewfinder modes.

        Remarks

        Methods and Properties

        Barcode respective APIs will only work if the underlying layers supports it. For further details, refer EMDK documentation.

        Scanner and Barcode Limitations

        The RE 2.x Scanner API and the EB 1.x Barcode API should not be used simultaneously in any Enterprise Browser application; only one or the other should be used.

        DecodeSound Limitation

        If decodeSound property contains '.wav'/'.ogg' filename same as system filename, the system '.wav'/'.ogg' file is selected for playing when a scanned barcode is successfully decoded.

        Custom Sound Limitation

        On some Android devices, only the first set values of custom decode sound properties (i.e. decodeVolume, decodeFrequency and decodeDuration) take effect, even after setting multiple times with different values. The Enterprise Browser application must be restarted to apply the different values for custom decode sound properties.

        Omnii XT15

        On the Zebra Omnii XT15 device running Windows Mobile/CE, the decode success and failure sounds are not audible unless the decode sound is configured manually in the Config.xml file. To configure this setting, see the <ScanDecodeWav> parameter in the Config.xml Reference Guide.

        Bluetooth Scanner Overview

        Once a Bluetooth scanner is associated with a device, it remains associated even after losing the BT connection. To associate a different Bluetooth scanner with the device, it is necessary to scan the 'unpairing' barcode and invoke the 'disabled' method followed by the 'enabled' method. This allows scanning of the BT association barcode to associate with a different scanner. Override this default behavior using the disconnectBtOnDisable property.

        The BluetoothStatus event provides the following Bluetooth scanner messages:

        • BTScanAssociationBarcode - The device is ready to be associated with a Bluetooth scanner. To perform a first-time association, use the scanner to scan the association barcode. This pairing is remembered until the unpairing barcode is scanned.

        • BluetoothConnected - The remote scanner has successfully connected to the device.

        • BluetoothDisconnected - The remote scanner is disconnected from the device. This can be due to a dead battery, being out of range, or scanning the unpairing barcode. The scanner automatically attempts to reconnect for a period of time once it regains power or signal. Press the "reconnect" button if it fails to reconnect automatically. Once the unpairing barcode is scanned, it is necessary to disable and re-enable the scanner before another scanner can be associated.

        Bluetooth Scanners On Android

        Enterprise Browser does not support Bluetooth scanners on the Zebra TC70 GA1 device.

        Enterprise Browser supports Bluetooth scanners on devices running Android KitKat and higher.

        Viewfinder Position Parameters

        On Zebra Technologies' scanners, the scanner viewfinder window is not infinitely resizable. When setting ViewFinderX, ViewFinderY, ViewFinderWidth and ViewFinderHeight, do not exceed the size of the screen. Zebra also recommends using the same aspect ratio as that of the device. For applications designed to handle screen rotation, longest side of the scan window should fit within both the screen width and screen height. If the viewfinder position fails to be applied, query the log file to see which parameter is causing trouble or reposition the window away from the edges of the screen.

        Scanning and Camera Interaction

        In some device configurations the scanner and camera share the same hardware. Where two modules share the same physical hardware they cannot be enabled simultaneously, in this circumstance once the scanner is enabled it must be disabled before the camera can be used, and vice versa.

        Get Scanner Properties

        On WM/CE, it is first necessary to enable the scanner before most of the properties can be retrieved. The case of scanner properties will differ across platforms. On WM/CE, some of the scanner properties are not exposed to set but can be retrieved. On Android, only supported scanner properties can be retrieved in "getAllProperties" method.

        Set Scanner Properties

        On WM/CE, for some properties, it is first necessary to apply those properties before enabling the scanner.

        Android Camera Barcode limitation

        As google barcode scanning library(Zxing library) supported only in Landscape mode. Barcode scanning window only appears at centre of screen in Landscape mode.

        Devices lacking support

        This API is not available on the following Zebra Technologies devices and/or platform(s):

        • VH10 CE 6.0

        Note: The legacy scanner service can be enabled and can perform some barcode scans.

        Examples

        Enable scanner, scan a bacrode

        This example shows how to enable a device's barcode scanner and access the data gathered by the scanner. Note that this example assumes that ebapi-modules.js file is in the same folder as the HTML invoking it. DataWedge must be disabled for Enterprise Browser to access any scanners.

        <pre>
            <head>
                <title>Barcode API Test</title>
                <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="ebapi-modules.js"></script>
        
                <script type="text/javascript">
                function scanReceived(params){
                    // No data or no timestamp, scan failed.
                    if(params['data']== "" || params['time']==""){
                        document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = "Failed!";
                        return;
                    }
                    // Data and timestamp exist, barcode successful, show results
                    var displayStr = "Barcode Data: " + params['data']+"<br>Time: "+params['time'];
                    document.getElementById("display").innerHTML = displayStr;
                }
        
                function enableScanners(){
                    EB.Barcode.enable({}, scanReceived);
                    // Empty property hash, '{}' loads default values for the scanner.
                }
        
                function unloadEvent(){
                    EB.Barcode.disable();
                    // Disable Barcode on unload of page to free it up for other operations.
                }
            </script>
            </head>
        
            <body onunload='unloadEvent()'>
                <h1>Barcode API Test</h1>
                <div id="display">
                    Barcode Data: <br>
                    Time: <br>
                </div>
                <button onclick="enableScanners()">Enable Barcode Scanners</button>
            </body>              
            </pre>
        

        Setting pre-defined decode sound

        This example shows how to set a '.wav' or '.ogg' file for decode notification using decodeSound property on Android platform. Sound file must be stored on the device.

        <pre>
            function setDecodeSoundwav() {
               EB.Barcode.decodeSound = 'file:///sdcard/badread.wav'; //For Android 
            }
            </pre>
        

        Setting custom created decode sound

        This example shows how to create and set the custom notification file for getting decode notification. Note: It is recommended to not to set decodeSound property if user want to create and set the custom notification using below barcode properties.

        <pre>
            function setCustomDecodeSound(){
               EB.Barcode.enable({'decodeDuration': 1000,'decodeFrequency':2000,'decodeVolume':3}, callback); //This is the recommended approach for creating and setting custom notification.
            }
            </pre>
