Soft Scan Feature
DataWedge allows a native Android application to programmatically start, stop, or toggle the scan trigger state. The
application can issue an Android Broadcast Intent, to control the scanner, without requiring the scan button to be
pressed. The active DataWedge profile is required to control all the parameters during a scan operation.
The structure of the broadcast intent that resolves to the soft scan is:
action: “com.motorolasolutions.emdk.datawedge.api.ACTION_SOFTSCANTRIGGER”
extras: This is a String name/value pair that contains trigger state details.
name: “com.motorolasolutions.emdk.datawedge.api.EXTRA_PARAMETER”
value: “START_SCANNING” or “STOP_SCANNING” or “TOGGLE_SCANNING”
Sample
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(“com.motorolasolutions.emdk.datawedge.api.ACTION_SOFTSCANTRIGGER”);
sendIntent.putExtra(“com.motorolasolutions.emdk.datawedge.api.EXTRA_PARAMETER”,
“TOGGLE_SCANNING”);
sendBroadcast(sendIntent);
