Ways to detect if user scanned or type the barcode using the physical keyboard in an MC330L with Xamarin forms application

Good day,
I'm running an android application in an MC330L. Our app requires in one of it's functionality to be able tell if the user had scanned or entered a barcode. What is the best practice to be able to do so using DataWedge? I understand that adding a suffix in the key stoke is one solution but would like to explore other options.

Hi, if it were me I would not

Hi, if it were me I would not use DataWedge keystroke output but instead use the Intent output mechanism from DataWedge, then I would know if the user scanned the barcode (because i would receive it in the intent handler) or if they typed it into the field themselves.
