Reading BARCODE using camera for hybrid

[GowthamRaja]

Hi Experts,

I need to scan the barcode using mobile camera... so i am writting the following code in custom.js as mentioned in the link http://code.google.com/p/jquery-barcodelistener/wiki/setup

but it seems no scanning... will the above jquery files as given in the link have the function to open the camera or we have to write the code below navigator.camera.getpicture......do we need to design a seperate screen to capture the value while scanning the barcode and putting in to it......... Kindly help me how the code works and what can added or how it is to be modified to resolve the problem.....

Thanks ,

Dear HWC Experts,

I am unable to suceed with camera, barcoding scanner with HWC. I am using SUP 2.2.

I tried various options, but didn't work. I followed the approach as per this blog :http://scn.sap.com/thread/3359393

Do I need to enable phonegap APIs before using them ? The reason that part of code has not been mentioned in the blog attached.

Kindly help us here. We have a demo to the customer and need to show how easy it is to integrate device peripherals using HWC.

Try using PhoneGap extensions.

You need to implement phone gap barcodescanner plugin in SUP environment then you can scan the barcodes.     see th

The following link contains a sample scanner  https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/iPhone/BarcodeScanner

Hi David,

I am doing for hybrid applications but the link shows only for iphone..... may i get the src code for hybrid application........ Thanks in advance

[former_member184221]

Normally HTML/JS can't interigate the hardware features of the phone. e.g. The Camera. Thats why you use a Hybrid environment like Sybase SUP HWC (Hybrid Web container) or you use PhoneGap. Now HWC has phonegap calls built into it, so you can hook in your camera using a phonegap call from your HWC.

I gave you the ios code to get you started, what other platforms do you need Camera code for ?

[GowthamRaja]

Thanks for your information David.

I want for android platform since i am going to start with android only...... i am using phonegap plugin 1.4.1 version but

https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/Android/BarcodeScanner

the following site contains phonegap-plugins 1.8.1 and 2.0.0 only..... i dont know whether barcode scanner for phonegap-plugins 1.4.1 will support or not, as discussed in this link

https://sites.google.com/site/mobiledevelopersolutions/home/start/twominutetutorials/tmt3.......

Please clarify the following questions since its a big confusion to me:

1) Whether the camera will be automatically opened by writing this code or we have to make it enable through navigator.camera.getpicture?

2) When the camera is focusing a barcode the output of the barcode will be shown automatically or we have to design the screen and pass the values in to it to get the output of the barcode?

Kindly help me on this issue to solve it as soon as possible ......... Thanks

I would also have a look at this code:

Two minute tutorials 

Implement it using PhoneGap first and then when you have got it working move the code to HWC.

[GowthamRaja]

Hi David,

As mentioned in Two minute tutorials , i got that blue color screen but with popup's which can not be removed. Can you try this and please tell me where i am lagging and what is the problem is

Thanks,

Gowtham

Hi David,

As you said already, shall we have a look on tomorrow (Tuesday) ?

Initial experiment did not work, will get it working in phonegap first then move to HWC, I will keep you posted ...
