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,

DataWedge Background Scanning

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.

It's here! Android 10 comes with a slew of new features for enterprise developers including changes to user privacy and app behavior.  In this session, Darryn Campbell will cover how these new privacy and behavior changes affect enterprise applications and help you prepare for the upcoming update.  If you have questions about how your app should deal with device identifiers or scoped storage in Android 10 then please plan on attending.

Introduction

On the 15^th of May 2020 we held our first ever Online Hackathon! Organized by Bibi Othmani, our Global Developer Relations Manager, the idea for this hackathon was to bring everyone together in a time where we all find ourselves so far apart. The hackathon was coined ‘Hack The Outbreak’ and was a fully-online, people-focused event designed to bring Zebras together from all parts of the business (not only developers/engineers) to use their diverse skills to collaborate, brainstorm and explore anti-crisis ideas for the world to overcome challenges associated with health pandemics, and in particular, Covid-19.

Overview

This blog will explain how to enable and use Telnet on both Windows and Mac.

What is Telnet? 

Telnet is a network protocol used to virtually access devices, establishing a two-way communication.

When Telnet is capitalized, we’re talking about the protocol. When telnet is lower cased, we’re talking about establishing the connection.
