Method Detail

getUnstableClient

protected UnstableContentResolverClient getUnstableClient()

startScan

public void startScan()

Open the barcode scanning app and begin scanning. See BarcodeResult for details on receiving the results. May block momentarily, prefer executeStartScan().

startScan

public boolean startScan(Bundle extras)

Open the barcode scanning app and begin scanning. See BarcodeResult for details on receiving the results. May block momentarily, prefer executeStartScan(Bundle).

Parameters:

extras - optional parameters, currently supports:

• Intents.EXTRA_SCANNER_FACING - if there are multiple cameras which one to scan from, see getAvailable()
>
• Intents.EXTRA_SHOW_PREVIEW - whether scanner preview video will be shown, default is true. The preview window cannot be hidden on Clover Flex 1 (C401) devices.
• Intents.EXTRA_LED_ON - whether LED will be on (selected devices only), default is false
• Intents.EXTRA_SCAN_QR_CODE - whether QR codes will be scanned, default is true
• Intents.EXTRA_SCAN_1D_CODE - whether 1D codes will be scanned, default is true
• Intents.EXTRA_SHOW_CLOSE_BUTTON - whether scanner preview will have a 'close' button, default is true
• Intents.EXTRA_SHOW_LED_BUTTON - whether scanner preview will have an LED toggle, default is true

Returns:

true if the scanning app started (it would be very unusual for it to fail)

stopScan

public void stopScan()

Stop the barcode scanning app. May block momentarily, prefer executeStopScan().

stopScan

public boolean stopScan(Bundle extras)

Stop the barcode scanning app. May block momentarily, prefer executeStopScan(Bundle).

Parameters:

extras - ignored

Returns:

true if the scanning app stopped (it would be very unusual for it to fail)

getAvailable

public List<Integer> getAvailable()

Retrieve the builtin barcode scanning cameras that are available on this device.

One of the values returned may be passed as the extra Intents.EXTRA_SCANNER_FACING in the bundle argument to startScan(Bundle) to select the appropriate barcode scanner.

Returns:

A List of Integers that are the available barcode scanners on this device. The list will contain BARCODE_SCANNER_FACING_MERCHANT and / or BARCODE_SCANNER_FACING_CUSTOMER, OR BARCODE_SCANNER_FACING_DUAL.
