BarcodeScannerSdk

• A android test app to validate native module logic that communicates with Socket Mobile Barcode scanners.
• I have been testing this with the Socket Mobile S740 scanner.
• To use this app with a scanner you will to run it on a real device.
• This App/Native Module is NOT IOS READY.
• This app also uses embedded capture library so that it does not need to use the companion service app.

A Note About keys

• The keys used to configure the Capture Client are app/developer specific.
• App keys are defined here.
• Modify these and call CaptureClientProvider.initializeCapture(...) in your MainApplication.java onCreate() method.
• This will configure a singleton of the CaptureClient for the native module to use.

Getting started

• Make sure you have properly set up your environment for React Native / Android
  • Docs fo this can be found here
• Clone repo locally
• run yarn install

API

• The typescript facing API can be found here
• Socket Specific Logic can be found here

To run on android

• yarn android
• If this does not prompt you to open a new terminal window with a metro server running, create a new terminal window and run...
  • yarn start
  • then in another window run yarn android

Pairing flow

• This Module does NOT handle forming the bluetooth bond with the scanner.
• To achieve this I wrote another custom Bluetooth Native Module which has a typescript facing API that can be found here
  • You are more likely to use the useBluetoothDiscovery hook to discover devices and the useBluetoothPairing hook to form a bond.
• A complete pairing flow with examples of how to form the bluetooth bond, grant permissions, and test scanner features can be found here
  • This is the pairing flow that will launch when you run the app.
