Create Profile

CREATE_PROFILE

Used to create a new DataWedge Profile on the device. If a Profile of the same name already exists on the device, the intent will fail. To create a Profile and configure its settings parameters, see SET_CONFIG. Zebra recommends that Profile names be unique, contain alpha-numeric characters, and be short in length to avoid possible import/export profile issues.

Function Prototype

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION");
i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.CREATE_PROFILE", "");

Parameters

ACTION [String]: com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION

EXTRA_DATA [String]: com.symbol.datawedge.api.CREATE_PROFILE

String <value>: Name of Profile to be created

Result Codes

DataWedge returns the following error codes if the app includes the intent extras SEND_RESULT and COMMAND_IDENTIFIER to enable the app to get results using the DataWedge result intent mechanism. See Example, below.

• PROFILE_ALREADY_EXIST - FAILURE
• PROFILE_NAME_EMPTY - FAILURE

Also see the Result Codes guide for more information.

Example Code

    
    private void createProfile() {
    Intent i = new Intent();
    i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION");
    i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.CREATE_PROFILE", profileName);
    this.sendBroadcast(i);
}

Generate and receive results

Command and configuration intent parameters determine whether to send result codes (disabled by default). When using SEND_RESULT, the COMMAND_IDENTIFIER is used to match the result code with the originating intent. Sample usage of these parameters is shown below.

Note: Modify this generic code to match the API being used.

// send the intent
    Intent i = new Intent();
    i.setAction(ACTION);
    i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.CREATE_PROFILE", "Profile1");

// request and identify the result code
    i.putExtra("SEND_RESULT","true");
    i.putExtra("COMMAND_IDENTIFIER","123456789");
    this.sendBroadcast(i);

// register to receive the result
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent){

        String command = intent.getStringExtra("COMMAND");
        String commandidentifier = intent.getStringExtra("COMMAND_IDENTIFIER");
        String result = intent.getStringExtra("RESULT");

        Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
        String resultInfo = "";
        if(intent.hasExtra("RESULT_INFO")){
            bundle = intent.getBundleExtra("RESULT_INFO");
            Set<String> keys = bundle.keySet();
            for (String key: keys) {
                resultInfo += key + ": "+bundle.getString(key) + "\n";
            }
        }

        String text = "Command: "+command+"\n" +
                      "Result: " +result+"\n" +
                      "Result Info: " +resultInfo + "\n" +
                      "CID:"+commandidentifier;

        Toast.makeText(context, text, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    };
