Android Devices

In the Datalogic devices you have the possibility to start/stop the scan engine through an intent, without importing the SDK in the application (documentation):

  • Star Scan Engine (ACTION_START_DECODE) :

       import android.content.Intent;
   ...
    Intent myintent = new Intent();
    myintent.setAction("com.datalogic.decode.action.START_DECODE");
    this.sendBroadcast(myintent);

  • Stop Scan Engine (ACTION_STOP_DECODE):

      import android.content.Intent;
   ...
   Intent myintent = new Intent();
   myintent.setAction("com.datalogic.decode.action.STOP_DECODE");
   this.sendBroadcast(myintent);

These Intents can be tested from the command line, through the following ADB shell commands:

  • Star Scan Engine (ACTION_START_DECODE) :

    adb shell am broadcast -a com.datalogic.decode.action.START_DECODE

  • Stop Scan Engine (ACTION_STOP_DECODE):

    adb shell am broadcast -a com.datalogic.decode.action.STOP_DECODE
