Bluetooth scanner with normal phones

Hi,
I have a Zebra Bluetooth scanner- RS507X.
I want this scanner to connect to my normal android phone and provide the scanned data.
The documentation that I found on the website uses EMDK, and the android phones do not support that.
https://techdocs.zebra.com/emdk-for-android/7-4/tutorial/tutBluetoothSca...
Is there a way we can achieve this without using EMDK?
Thanks.

Hi, you will need to put the device into either HID mode or SPP mode.  Details of how to do this can be found in the product reference guide (https://www.zebra.com/content/dam/zebra_new_ia/en-us/manuals/mobile-com…).  HID mode will behave like a keyboard or you can communicate programmatically to a device in SPP mode.  I previously created an application that interfaced to an RS507 in SPP mode which you might find useful (https://github.com/darryncampbell/GenericScanWedge)
