Using your voice to control a mobile device is increasingly common in both consumer and enterprise environments, this application shows how you can use Zebra's DataWedge to recognize speech, convert it to text and capture the text in your app.

Zebra have a large partner and ISV community who are able to provide our customers software solutions covering our full range of verticals.
This post will demonstrate how to scan multiple barcodes in a single trigger pull on Zebra Android mobile computers. The multi-barcode capability is being further enhanced in the near future but this post describes what you can do today.
The sample application to accompany this post can be found on github and uses the "Basic Multibarcode" feature of DataWedge.
DataWedge 8.0 introduced a new capability to the DataWedge Intent output plugin, the ability to specify the component of the application which will receive the Intent.
Up until version 8.0, DataWedge only allowed you to specify the action, category and delivery mechanism (Start Activity, Start Service or Send Broadcast)

Zebra's MX layer exposes configuration and provisioning capabilities for Zebra devices. Some of these features can be potentially misused by harmful apps so in these cases it is required to specify the signature of the signing certificate used to create the app, this ensures that only the desired app is given the elevated privileges.
This document details the developer impact of moving to Zebra devices running Android 10 (API level 29), and is a follow-up to my previous posts about what’s new in Android Pie,
The sample application to accompany this post is available on Github
Although not common, some customers targeting Zebra Android mobile computers need to be able to scan barcodes when the application is in the background or the mobile computer is in the standby state. Following a question posted on the developer forum we came up with an architecture that appeared to work reliably.
Over the past couple of years I have seen an increasing interest in developing Flutter apps for Zebra Android mobile devices. Until recently I had directed developers to a 3rd party flutter demo that shows how to wrap the EMDK (Zebra's Android scanner SDK). That sample is at https://github.com/acaliaro/flutterZebraEmdk but Zebra's recommended approach is to use DataWedge rather than the EMDK for scanner integration and I noticed a number of people asking about non-Zebra device compatibility, something that is more difficult to achieve with the EMDK.
