We are currently using the Zebra RFID SDK for Android (native / Java) to scan RFID tag data into our custom app running on a TC51. The RFID scanning is working great, but we'd like to add the ability to scan barcodes at the same time. For example, if a user is unable to scan an RFID tag for some reason, he should be able to use the RFD8500's integrated barcode scanner and then immediately switch back to RFID scanning. The RFID SDK's RfidEventsListener.eventReadNotify() method only seems to fire when an RFID tag is read and not when a barcode is read. What would be the best way to handle this mix of RFID & barcode scanning with the RFD8500 and our custom Android app?

Hi, I m looking for the app link but there is no link for it. where is the exact link for it. I m working with tc20 and rfid2000 and I need to run both sccanning and rfid functions in same app. I tried to combine both sdk in single app and partially manage to run it but while switchin from scanner to rfid or rfid to scanner I get app crashes.
Any luck I'm having the same issue
We have a demo application with source code for Android that illustrates the use of RFID and barcode scanning in a single application.
