How to integrate Bluetooth Scanner into Xamarin App on Non-Zebra Device

Hi,

I've installed the Zebra Scanner Control App on a Nexus 9 Tablet (Android 7.1, API 25) and was able to connect to a DS3678 scanner.

Now I would like to be able to scan from my Xamarin (Forms) App. EMDK for Xamarin does not work because it expects some infrastructure that is not present on Non-Zebra devices.

I've create a Xamarin Android Bindings Libray (Xamarin) in VS2017 around the "barcode_scanner_library_v2.2.4.0.aar" and was able to compile and build it successfully.

If I try to instantiate the central Class SDKHandler I get an exception "ClassNotFound".

I'm stuck here. Is there anybody that tried something similar and succeeded? Are there any working samples available?

Thanks in advance for any help

Best regards

Uwe
