Overview
This sample demonstrates simultaneous scanning of multiple barcodes using capabilities in the Barcode/Scanning APIs introduced with EMDK for Android 6.8. These APIs work independently of any Data Capture profiles.
Notes
- This sample illustrates a single use-case for implementing multi-barcode features; it is not a comprehensive example of the many ways this feature could be used.
- DataWedge cannot be configured for data capture through Profile Manager when using EMDK-A 6.8 and higher. Zebra recommends using the DataWedge APIs instead.
Requirements
- Android Studio on a Mac or Windows PC with Android API 22 (or higher) installed.
See EMDK Setup Guide for help. - A supported Zebra Android device (see list above)
- A scan target with two or more barcodes
