Create Profile

CREATE_PROFILE

Used to create a new DataWedge Profile on the device. If a Profile of the same name already exists on the device, the intent will fail. To create a Profile and configure its settings parameters, see SET_CONFIG. Zebra recommends that Profile names be unique, contain alpha-numeric characters, and be short in length to avoid possible import/export profile issues.

Function Prototype

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION"); 
i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.CREATE_PROFILE", "");

Parameters

ACTION [String]: com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION

EXTRA_DATA [String]: com.symbol.datawedge.api.CREATE_PROFILE

String <value>: Name of Profile to be created

Result Codes

DataWedge returns the following error codes if the app includes the intent extras RECEIVE_RESULT and COMMAND_IDENTIFIER to enable the app to get results using the DataWedge result intent mechanism. See Example, below.

• PROFILE_ALREADY_EXIST - FAILURE
• PROFILE_NAME_EMPTY - FAILURE

Also see the Result Codes guide for more information.

Return Values

Error and debug messages are logged to the Android logging system, which can be viewed and filtered by the logcat command. Use logcat from an ADB shell to view the log messages:

$ adb logcat -s DWAPI

Error messages are logged for invalid actions and parameters.

Example Code

    
    private void createProfile() { 
    Intent i = new Intent(); 
    i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION"); 
    i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.CREATE_PROFILE", profileName); 
    this.sendBroadcast(i); 
}

Generate and receive results

Command and configuration intent parameters determine whether to send result codes (disabled by default). When using SEND_RESULT, the COMMAND_IDENTIFIER is used to match the result code with the originating intent. Sample usage of these parameters is shown below.

Note: Modify this generic code to match the API being used.

// send the intent
    Intent i = new Intent();
    i.setAction(ACTION);
    i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.CREATE_PROFILE", "Profile1");

// request and identify the result code
    i.putExtra("SEND_RESULT","true");
    i.putExtra("COMMAND_IDENTIFIER","123456789");
    this.sendBroadcast(i);

// register to receive the result
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent){

        String command = intent.getStringExtra("COMMAND");
        String commandidentifier = intent.getStringExtra("COMMAND_IDENTIFIER");
        String result = intent.getStringExtra("RESULT");

        Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
        String resultInfo = "";
        if(intent.hasExtra("RESULT_INFO")){
            bundle = intent.getBundleExtra("RESULT_INFO");
            Set<String> keys = bundle.keySet();
            for (String key: keys) {
                resultInfo += key + ": "+bundle.getString(key) + "\n";
            }
        }

        String text = "Command: "+command+"\n" +
                      "Result: " +result+"\n" +
                      "Result Info: " +resultInfo + "\n" +
                      "CID:"+commandidentifier;

        Toast.makeText(context, text, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    };
