Barcode

Properties216

The Barcode Module provides access to control the functionality of the device’s scanner. Because RhoMobile Suite is designed to run on both Consumer devices and Symbol Technologies' enterprise devices support for the Barcode API will vary for each method and properties depending on which platform you are running on. Please note that a lot these APIs are optimized for the extended functionality that Symbol Technologies devices provide. Check the platform indicators in each property or method section. In general if you are developing for a consumer device the number of symbologies available to you will be limited to just the most common ones, eg EAN13, UPCA etc and your scanning will be via the device camera. If your application is running on Symbol Technologies' hardware you will have much finer control over a more fully featured Scanner, often with a choice of scanner hardware on the device. In general if you wish to capture a single barcode in a ‘one shot’ use case, eg your App just wants to capture a single barcode to be submitted to a price comparison website then use Barcode.take(callback); if your application is expecting a number of barcodes to be received, common in enterprise scenarios for example a user in a warehouse then use Barcode.enable(callback). The Barcode API will not run on non-Symbol Technologies Windows Mobile / CE devices.Only the foreground application is given access to the scanning hardware, when an application is sent to the background its state will be saved and it will automatically relinquish control of the scanner. When brought back to the foreground, an application previously using the barcode API will have its previous configuration reapplied automatically.In VC70 scanner will work only if connected in SSI Mode. In Symbol android devices, it is recommended to use EMDK for KitKat devices and not to use EMDK in JellyBean devices.

Enabling the API

In order to use this API you must include the following extension in your build.yml :::ruby extensions: [“barcode”]

If you are building a Windows Mobile or Windows CE app with this API, you must set your app_type as “rhoelements” in your build.yml as shown here.

enable
(HASH propertyMap, CallBackHandler callback)

Enabling the scanner puts it in a state where it will respond 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 on the device can be enabled at any one time, to switch between the imager and camera scanners (for example) then first disable the currently enabled scanner. If you do not specify a callback to this method you will received the scanned data as keystrokes. Note that it is necessary to enable the scanner on WM/CE devices prior to being able to retrieve the state of properties.

This method replaces Barcode.enable from RhoElements 2.2 and takes a different prototype, no longer taking a ‘deviceName’ parameter this method can now be called on the individual scanner instances returned by Barcode.enumerate to control which hardware scanner on the device is enabled. Please consider using Barcode.take if you only require a ‘single shot’ scan and Barcode.enable if your user will be using the trigger to return scan events.

      • Ruby: Rho::Barcode.aimMode
    aimType
    : STRING

    Describes the type of aiming to use.

    (Scanners on Symbol Technologies' devices)

    Possible Values (STRING):

    Constant: Rho.Barcode.AIMTYPE_TRIGGER (For Ruby use "::" for all "." when referencing constants)
    String: trigger

    Standard trigger mode. Holding the trigger will start a decoding session.

    Constant: Rho.Barcode.AIMTYPE_TIMED_HOLD (For Ruby use "::" for all "." when referencing constants)
    String: timedHold

    Aiming lasts for the time specified by ‘timedAimDuration’ before decoding. The opportunity to scan will last until the barcode is decoded or scanTimeout occurs.

    Constant: Rho.Barcode.AIMTYPE_TIMED_RELEASE (For Ruby use "::" for all "." when referencing constants)
    String: timedRelease

    Aiming lasts until trigger is released. If the timedAimDuration has expired when the trigger is released then a decode session is started until a barcode is decoded or for the remaining time equal to the scanTimeout value.

    Constant: Rho.Barcode.AIMTYPE_PRESENTATION (For Ruby use "::" for all "." when referencing constants)
    String: presentation

    Provided to support Kiosk devices. The scanner illuminates when movement is detected in the range of the scanner window. In order to use this mode the scanner must be initiated with a softscan using the Rho.Barcode.start() method and again after each decode. The device must be equipped with a sensor to detect movement to use presentation mode. MK31XX devices come with presentation mode pre-enabled in the scanner driver and the aimType cannot be modified for these devices.

    Constant: Rho.Barcode.AIMTYPE_PRESS_AND_RELEASE (For Ruby use "::" for all "." when referencing constants)
    String: pressAndRelease

    Scan will continue after the trigger is released until scanTimeout occurs.

    Constant: Rho.Barcode.AIMTYPE_CONTINUOUS_READ (For Ruby use "::" for all "." when referencing constants)

      • Ruby: Rho::Barcode.aimType
    allDecoders
    : BOOLEAN

    When set to true, the barcode scanner will read all barcode types that the scanner is capable of reading. When set to false, the barcode scanner will not be able to decode any symbologies, this is most useful if you want to set the scanner to a default state before only enabling your required symbologies. The fewer symbologies that are enabled the faster the decoding performance of the scanning engine will be. This property will return true only if all supported symbologies by the scanner are enabled, if only a subset of supported symbologies are enabled then false will be returned. 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 only enable either “canpostal” OR “auspostal” when “alldecoders” is enabled. Note that other symbologies also share the 4-state system.

    picklistMode
    : STRING

    Allows the imager to decode only the barcode that is directly under the cross-hair / center of the reticle. This feature is most useful in applications where multiple barcodes may appear in the field of view during a decode session and only one of them is targeted for decode. When enabled picklistMode will override aimMode or, if no aiming is chosen, and use aimMode:reticle. This mode will also interact with viewfinderMode, see the EMDK for C help file for more information. Enabling picklist mode may adversely affect overall decoding performance.

    Scan barcodes with the default scanner

    Getting started with barcode scanning is very straightforward. If you do not need to customize the defaults, you need very little code.

    function scan_using_default_scanner(){
      // Scan with default options
      Rho.Barcode.take({}, scan_received);
    }
    
    function scan_received(params){
      // Did we actually find a barcode ?
      // If status is not 'ok', the scan was canceled
    
        if (params["status"]=="ok") {
            alert('Barcode scanning complete. Scanned barcode: '+params["barcode"]);
        } else {
            alert('Barcode scanning aborted');
        }
        Rho.Barcode.stop();
    }
                       
                     
    def scan_using_default_scanner
      # Scan with default options
      Rho::Barcode.take({}, url_for(:action => :scan_received))
    end
    
    def scan_received
      # Did we actually find a barcode ?
      # If status is not 'ok', the scan was canceled
      if @params["status"] == "ok"
        Rho::Log.info(@params["barcode"],"Barcode result")
      else
        Rho::Log.info("canceled", "Barcode result")
      end
    end
                       
                     
    Select which scanner to use

    By default, Rho::Barcode will select a hardware scanner if present on the device. If you want to let the user choose which scanner to use at any particular time, you must enumerate the available scanners and select one from the set.

    var scanners;
    
    function choose_scanner(){
    
      // Enumerate returns an array of scanner objects
      // Devices without a hardware scanner will return a software-based recognizer
      scanners = Rho.Barcode.enumerate();
    }
    
    function scan_using_chosen_scanner(scanner_index) {
        var scanner = scanners[scanner_index];
        scanner.take({}, scan_received_callback);
    }
    
    function scan_received_callback(params){
      // Did we actually find a barcode?
      // If status is not 'ok' the scan is canceled
      if (params["status"]=="ok") {
                alert('Barcode scanning complete. Scanned barcode: '+params["barcode"]);
            } else {
                alert('Barcode scanning aborted');
            }
            Rho.Barcode.stop();
    }
                       
                     
    # ---------------
    # controller.rb
    # ---------------
    
    def choose_scanner
      # Obtain list of available scanners on the system. Devices without a hardware scanner will return a software-based recognizer
      $scanners = Rho::Barcode.enumerate
      render
    end
    
    def scan_using_chosen_scanner
      # receive an integer as parameter, which represent the number of the scanner we wish to use
      scanner = $scanners[@params["scannerIndex"].to_i]
      scanner.take({}, url_for(:action => :scan_received_callback))
    end
    
    def scan_received_callback
      # Did we actually find a barcode ?
      # If status is not 'ok', the scan was canceled
      if @params["status"] == "ok"
        Rho::Log.info(@params["barcode"],"Barcode result")
      else
        Rho::Log.info("canceled", "Barcode result")
      end
    end
    
    
    # ---------------
    # choose_scanner.erb
    # ---------------
    <ul data-role="listview">
      <% $scanners.each_with_index do |scanner, index| %>
        <li><a href="<%= url_for(:action => :scan_using_chosen_scanner, :query => {:scanner_index => index}) %>"><%= scanner.friendlyName %></li>
      <% end %>
    </ul>
                       
                     
    Set recognized symbologies

    Specify which symbologies the barcode scanner must recognize.

    // For the purpose of this example, let's say our application only needs to recognize one type of barcode.
    // In that case, we will disable all decoders...
    Rho.Barcode.allDecoders = false;
    // ... and enable only the one we are interested in:
    Rho.Barcode.upca = true;
    // All other barcode symbologies will be ignored
    Rho.Barcode.take({}, scan_received_callback);
                       
                     
    # For the purpose of this example, let's say our application only needs to recognize one type of barcode.
    # In that case, we will disable all decoders...
    Rho::Barcode.allDecoders = false
    # ... and enable only the one we are interested in:
    Rho::Barcode.upca = true
    # All other barcode symbologies will be ignored
    Rho::Barcode.take({}, url_for(:action => :scan_received_callback))
    
                       
                     
    Control scanner properties

    Examples of setting barcode scanner properties.

    // There are over 200 properties to fine-tune the barcode scanner functionality and adapt it to suit your application.
    // Almost all properties depend on the scanner hardware for support, please check the documentation to see if your device
    // supports a particular setting
    
    // Here are examples of setting some of the properties. The documentation lists the acceptable values for each of them
    
    // Aiming mode (visual cue):
    Rho.Barcode.aimMode = "none";
    Rho.Barcode.aimMode = "dot";
    Rho.Barcode.aimMode = "slab";
    Rho.Barcode.aimMode = "reticle";
    
    // Aiming type (processing mode):
    Rho.Barcode.aimType = "trigger";
    Rho.Barcode.aimType = "timedHold";
    Rho.Barcode.aimType = "timedRelease";
    Rho.Barcode.aimType = "presentation";
    Rho.Barcode.aimType = "pressAndRelease";
    Rho.Barcode.aimType = "continuousRead";
    
    // Generate an "Enter" keypress after a barcode is recognized. Useful for sending forms automatically after a scan
    Rho.Barcode.autoEnter = true;
    
    // Select the beam width of the scanner (only supported on some devices)
    Rho.Barcode.beamWidth = "normal";
    Rho.Barcode.beamWidth = "narrow";
    Rho.Barcode.beamWidth = "wide";

    Rho::Barcode.beamWidth = "wide"
                       
                     
    Change audible options

    You can customize or eliminate the beep that the device emits when a barcode is recognized. Support and valid ranges for these values depend on the device.

    // Maximum volume (default)
    Rho.Barcode.decodeVolume = 5;
    // Low-pitched sound
    Rho.Barcode.decodeFrequency = 1000;
    // One-second long
    Rho.Barcode.decodeDuration = 1000;
    
    Rho.Barcode.take({}, scan_received_callback);
                       
                     
    # Maximum volume (default)
    Rho::Barcode.decodeVolume = 5
    # Low-pitched sound
    Rho::Barcode.decodeFrequency = 1000
    # One-second long
    Rho::Barcode.decodeDuration = 1000
    
    Rho::Barcode.take({}, url_for(:action => :scan_received_callback))
                       
                     

    Remarks

    Bluetooth Scanner Overview

    Once associated with the Device a Bluetooth Scanner will remain associated even after losing the BT connection. In order to associate a different Bluetooth scanner with the device it is necessary to scan the ‘unpairing’ barcode and then invoke the ‘disabled’ method followed by the ‘enabled’ method, this will allow you to scan the BT association barcode with a different scanner. You can override this default behavior using the disconnectBtOnDisable property.

    The following messages will be received from the Bluetooth Scanner in the bluetoothStatus event:

    ‘BTScanAssociationBarcode’

    Means the device is ready to be associated with a BT scanner. You must scan the association barcode. It is only necessary to scan the association barcode when you first associate a scanner with the device, this pairing will be remembered until you scan the unpairing barcode.

    ‘BluetoothConnected’

    The remote scanner has successfully connected to the device.

    ‘BluetoothDisconnected’

    The remote scanner has become disconnected from the device, this may be due to loss of battery, being out of range or scanning the ‘unpairing’ barcode. The scanner will attempt to reconnect automatically for a period of time once it regains power or goes out of range, if it fails to reconnect after the specified timeout the reconnect button on the device should be pushed. Once the unpairing barcode is scanned it is necessary to disable the scanner and then re-enable it before another scanner can be associated.

    Viewfinder Position Parameters

    On Symbol Technologies' scanners the scanner viewfinder window is not infinitely resizable, when setting ViewFinderX, ViewFinderY, ViewFinderWidth and ViewFinderHeight ensure you do not exceed the size of the screen and it is recommended to use the same aspect ratio as your device. For applications designed to handle screen rotation it is recommended to use a scan window whose longest side will fit within both the screen width and screen height. If your viewfinder position fails to be applied it is recommended you query your 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.

    DataWedge Interaction With Native Apps

    In order to use the scanner with RhoElements Native Apps you will need to either disable DataWedge or create a DataWedge profile for your app. Disabling Datawedge

    1. Start the DataWedge app
    2. Click the menu button > “Settings” and untick “DataWedge enabled”.

    RhoElements Datawedge Profile

    1. Install your RhoElements native app,
    2. Start the DataWedge app
    3. Click the menu button > “New Profile” and enter a name,
    4. Click on the link to the new profile in the profile list,
    5. Click on “Associated apps” in the “Applications” section,
