My app doesn't recevice MSR data

Hi,

Hi have a Zebra device (TABLET ET5x Android 6 Mx 7.1) with a MSR (Sidytar WT-MSR123) attached via USB. The problem is when I pass the card through the MSR it is used as a Keyboard so in any edittext field of any app the card code is written, but in the app I'm developing I use the EMDK (v7.0) with the ProfileManager with DataCapture -> DataInput->MSR -> Enabled and DataDelivery ->Intent -> Action: com.symbol.emdksample.RECVR  -- category:android.intent.category.DEFAULT -- Delivery:Send via startActivity. But when I pass the card no event via onNewIntent() or any other method is launched.

Do you know what's happening?

Thanks in advance

Hi Carlos, the EMDK and DataWedge are only designed to work with integrated MSR readers - it seems like your external reader is going to pass the MSR data via keystrokes and therefore would not be intercepted or converted by the EMDK.  I would guess you should be able to use the native Android APIs to programmaticaly process these keypresses also, https://developer.android.com/training/keyboard-input/commands but I have never personally tried it.
