Overview

This sample application shows how Simulscan APIs can be used to capture multiple types of data from forms, boxes and other targets.

Prerequisites

What's required:

  • A Zebra device that supports SimulScan (support details)
  • A SimulScan license for the device
  • A Simulscan template on the device
  • A printed copy of the form used to create the template

Follow the template generation and device licensing sections of the SimulScan API tutorial

Note: Although this sample may work with previous versions of EMDK, Zebra recommends updating the EMDK runtime on the device before loading this sample.

Requirements

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

Loading the Sample Application

This guide explains how to set up the EMDK samples in an IDE.

Using This Sample

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

    
    adb push myTemplate.xml /sdcard/simulscan/templates/
    
  2. Launch The SimulScan sample application

    The Simulscan sample app will find the templates placed on the device's sdcard and populate the "Set Template" option list. Select the desired template from that list. img

  3. Press the "Read" button, and follow the on screen instructions. The sample app will extract the fields defined in the template. If the "Display Results View" option is checked, a list of results will be displayed for review.
