Barcode

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.

enable(HASH propertyMap)

Enabling the scanner puts it in a state that responds to the trigger (on devices with a hardware trigger) or will accept a command to initiate a soft scan (start method). Scanned barcodes will be available to the application through the callback provided to this method. Only one scanner can be enabled on the device at any one time. To switch between the imager and camera scanners (for example), then first disable the currently enabled scanner. If a callback to this method is not specified, the scanned data will be returned as keystrokes. Note: It is necessary to enable the scanner on Windows Mobile/CE devices prior to retrieving the state of properties.

On Android platform, to enable the UDI scanning mode in Enterprise Browser, the user must set the scanMode to UDI. The UDI scanning mode will be enabled either using barcode enable method with barcode properties or calling barcode properties separately with/after enable method. The UDI scanning is only available with Imager based scanners. Supported only on Android platform with EMDK version 6.6 and above.

The Scanned Data of UDI labels will be available to the application through callback of this method and it can be differentiated from Barcode data using isUDIData parameter of callback. There are parameters available for scanned UDI data through callback of this method. If callback is not specified to this method then the user will receive the UDI tokenized data collectively as keystrokes.

Parameters

• propertyMap : HASH Optional

  Provide a set of properties to configure the scanner, for example to enable specific symbologies or check digits. Valid `properties` for this parameter are the properties available to this API module.

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.

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>
