    super.onResume();

    IntentFilter ifl = new IntentFilter();
    ifl.addAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESULT_ACTION");

    registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver, ifl);
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();

    unregisterReceiver(broadcastReceiver);
}

BroadcastReceiver broadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {

    //Retrieving version information - receiver implementation

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent){

        String text = null;

        if(intent.hasExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESULT_GET_VERSION_INFO")){

            String SimulScanVersion  = "Not supported";
            String[] ScannerFirmware = {""};
            Bundle res = intent.getBundleExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESULT_GET_VERSION_INFO");
            String DWVersion = res.getString("DATAWEDGE");
            String BarcodeVersion = res.getString("BARCODE_SCANNING");
            String DecoderVersion = res.getString("DECODER_LIBRARY");

            if(res.containsKey("SCANNER_FIRMWARE")){
                ScannerFirmware = res.getStringArray("SCANNER_FIRMWARE");
            }

            text = "DataWedge:"+DWVersion+"\nDecoderLib:"+DecoderVersion+"\nFirmware:";

            if(ScannerFirmware!=null){
                for(String s: ScannerFirmware){
                    text+= "\n"+s;
                }
            }
            text += "\nBarcodescan:" + BarcodeVersion + "\nSimulscan:" + SimulScanVersion;
