A partner has developped an application with Delphi for android and datawedge does not fire scanner when pressing the scan buttons.
Datawedge works well with any native application like email, contacts...
the partner app is very simple with only one input field.
We have tried to configure and use intents with no results. with default profile or a new profile
apk file is attached.
I tried with  MC40 and MC32N0
What may be wrong , or how to workaround this issue please ?

Hi All,

Enterprise Browser v1.1 has been released for Symbol devices. I can read in the release notes it has support for MC3200 Android KitKat. See Enterprise Browser

Does someone know when KK will be available for MC3200?

Upgrading MC32 from JB to KK will make any apps written in Delphi XE7 compatible with DataWedge.

Hello Khai-Van PHU,I apologize for confusion that is indeed mistake in release notes. KK for MC3200 will not be available in 2015. The release notes suppose to refer to Android 4.1 JB.
We'll update the release notes with correct version.

Hello,

I have found a workaround. Maybe it can help (to find a solution) ?

I installed The TDBF-Components, and put one TDPFJEditText on the form.
If this component has focus, the scanner works.
You can find the components  on :
TDbf web page

I have the exact same problem with my MC3200 scanner.
I hope it will be solved, because this way the scanner is totally useless for me.

kind regards,

In Datawedge, enable Profile0.  This allows datawedge to place scanned data into any selected text field.
I loaded the attached APK, selected the first text field and scanned a barcode. Datawedge worked as expected.

UPDATE: As Pietro pointed out below, this test was performed on a TC55, not on an MC40.  There still seems to be and issue with fireMonkey apps and datawedge on MC40.

Bill,
which device have you tested?

If I test this on an MC40 it does not works for me. Testing on a TC55KK, it works.
On the MC40, without changing anything, if I go to the browser I can scan a barcode, inside this app, the barcode reader is not turning on.
