Thread Scanning Barcodes In Android, iOS or Windows 8
Mon, Feb 10 2014 9:16 AMPermanent Link

Is it possible for a tablet running Android, iOS or Windows 8 to scan barcodes (EAN-13) using a barcode scanner or natively and then have the barcode entered into an EWB application?

Thanks for the link.

I am looking for something simpler. The stock ID field is focused and the user scans a barcode with a barcode scanner and it appears in the field.

Possible?

I am pretty ignorant on all EWB topics, but I can't see why not.

This entry explains the use of "wedges" and "software wedges"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode_reader.

Your program thinks the code is coming from the keyboard.  This should work
as well for EWB as it does any other program.

Cheers

Frederick,

I would be surprized if there was any simplier way to do this. Since your app is running in a sandbox no API's are available except the ones your browser provides access to. Here is the list: http://caniuse.com/ Anything beyond that can only be achived by communicating with some sort of server service via http or websockets.

Frederick,

If you want simple usage you can  create a function  with  a TDataColumn  parameter  to handle the http request.

Or, of course, if you are using something like PhoneGap then you can add custom
facilities. That might work if you are wanting to roll out 100 "EWB devices"
internally only to fill this purpose. There might even be existing PhoneGap modules
for it.

I thought that if I paired a tablet with a Bluetooth barcode scanner, the scans would appear in EWB's text fields?

Not as simple as this?

Yes, that should work, provided that the TEdit control in question has
focus.
