Unable to resolve com.symbol.emdk:7.0+ after updating to Android Studio 3.6.3

Submitted by David Mohnke on Thu, 05/07/2020 - 14:02

I recently upgraded my development environment to Android Studio 3.6.3 and now I'm not able to resolve com.symbol:emdk:7.0.+.

The actual error is:

ERROR: Unable to resolve dependency for ':freeRDPCore@debug/compileClasspath': Could not resolve com.symbol:emdk:7.0+.

In my gradle-wrapper.properties, the Gradle version is 5.6.4 and the classpath in build.gradle is 3.6.1.

Show Button on top of ViewFinder

Submitted by Kelly Savoy on Wed, 04/08/2020 - 23:26

I want to add instructions and a "Cancel Scan" on top of the Camera scanner viewfinder. That would be the ideal. An alternative is if I could modify the height of the ViewFinder while it maintained full width (viewfinderSize scales the height and width which looks terrible). Does anyone know of a way to do this?

I wish I could limit the viewfinder to a layout, but i dont see a way to do that.

I am experiencing an issue with the TC56, the Barcode scanner stops working when it going in sleep mode.

Bluetooth scanner with normal phones

Submitted by Prakhar Srivastava on Tue, 01/28/2020 - 05:01

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.

Scanning when app is minimised

Submitted by Prakhar Srivastava on Fri, 12/20/2019 - 01:53

Hello,
I have a problem which I am explaining below:

Scenario:
I want to make an app that can keep scanning even when it is minimized. So I followed the git example BarcodeSample1 and modified the activity. I have attached the MainActivity (which I modified). Basically I removed the trigger and decoders block from it which I believe I do not need for now. All I need is that even if my app is minimised it can capture the scans.
