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.

• DATAWEDGE_DISABLED - DataWedge is disabled
• DEVICE_NOT_SUPPORTED - Device does not support notifications
• PARAMETER_INVALID - No values are specified in the RSM attribute array
• DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED - Scanner is not connected

Example Code

This sample code turns on the red LED and plays 3 low long beeps.

Intent i = new Intent();
Bundle bundleNotify = new Bundle();
Bundle bundleNotificationConfig = new Bundle();
i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION");

bundleNotificationConfig.putString("DEVICE_IDENTIFIER", "BLUETOOTH_DS3678");
bundleNotificationConfig.putIntArray("NOTIFICATION_SETTINGS", new int[]{17, 47});
bundleNotify.putBundle("NOTIFICATION_CONFIG", bundleNotificationConfig);

i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.notification.NOTIFY", bundleNotify);
this.sendBroadcast(i);
