Continuous scanning on Zebra TC70

Timur Ivanov Nov 16, 2018 5:19 AM

Can I implement continuous scanning in Zebra TC70 device without any extra devices?
Now I just start scanning with this code. Is it possible to scan barcodes one by one? Now scanning stops after one qr code. Thanks!

     String softScanTrigger = "com.symbol.datawedge.api.SCAN";
     String extraData = "com.symbol.datawedge.api.EXTRA_PARAMETER";
     Intent i = new Intent();
     i.setAction(softScanTrigger);
     i.putExtra(extraData, "START_SCANNING");
     this.sendBroadcast(i);

Hi, yes it should be possible. If you register for notifications about scanner status and invoke a soft scan whenever the scanner is in the WAITING state your application will continuously scan: Register for Notification - Zebra Technologies TechDocs (that API requires DataWedge 6.4)

  Cool! Thanks!
  But what if my DataWedge version is 6.2?

    There is a lifeguard update that includes DataWedge 6.7, https://www.zebra.com/content/dam/zebra_new_ia/en-us/software/operating-system/tc70-operating-system/TC70-Android-L-GMS-… . For more information on the Zebra LG program please see LifeGuard | Mobile Computer Software | Zebra . Thanks.
