DataWedge

DataWedge is a utility that adds advanced barcode scanning capability to any application without writing code. It runs in the background and handles the interface to built-in barcode scanners. The captured barcode data is converted to keystrokes and sent to the target application as if it was typed on the keypad.

Profiles

DataWedge is based on profiles and plug-ins. A profile contains information on how DataWedge should behave with different applications.

Profile information consists of:

• Associated application

• Data Capture Plus configurations

• Input plug-in configurations

• Output plug-in configurations

• Process plug-in configurations.

Using profiles, each application can have a specific DataWedge configuration. For example, each user application can have a profile which outputs scanned data in the required format when that application comes to the foreground. DataWedge can be configured to process the same set of captured data differently based on the requirements of each application.

DataWedge includes the following pre-configured profiles which support specific built-in applications:

• Visible profiles:

Some Zebra applications are capable of capturing data by scanning. DataWedge is pre-loaded with private and hidden profiles for this purpose. There is no option to modify the private profiles.

Profile0

Profile0 can be edited but cannot be associated with an application. That is, DataWedge allows manipulation

of plug-in settings for Profile0 but it does not allow assignment of a foreground application. This configuration

• Profile0 - created automatically the first time DataWedge runs. Generic profile used when there are no

user created profiles associated with an application.

• Launcher - enables scanning when the Launcher is in foreground.

• DWDemo - provides support for the DWDemo application.

allows DataWedge to send output data to any foreground application other than applications associated with user-defined profiles when Profile0 is enabled.

Profile0 can be disabled to allow DataWedge to only send output data to those applications which are associated in user-defined profiles. For example, create a profile associating a specific application, disable Profile0 and then scan. DataWedge only sends data to the application specified in the user-created profile. This adds additional security to DataWedge enabling the sending of data only to specified applications.

Plug-ins

A plug-in is a software module utilized in DataWedge to extend its functionality to encompass technologies such as barcode scanning. The plug-ins can be categorized into three types based on their operations:

• Input Plug-ins

• Output Plug-ins

• Process Plug-ins.

Input Plug-ins

An Input Plug-in supports an input device, such as a barcode scanner contained in, or attached to the device.

DataWedge contains base plug-ins for these input devices.

Barcode Scanner Input Plug-in – The Barcode Scanner Input Plug-in is responsible for reading data from the

integrated barcode scanner and supports different types of barcode readers including laser, imager and internal camera. Raw data read from the barcode scanner can be processed or formatted using Process Plug-ins as required. DataWedge has built-in feedback functionality for the barcode scanner to issue user alerts. The feedback settings can be configured according to user requirement.

IMPORTANT: To avoid the unnecessary use of enable/disable scanner API calls, Zebra recommends that apps

register to be notified of changes in scanner status (using the SCANNER_STATUS parameter of the REGISTER_FOR_NOTIFICATION API). This enables apps to receive scanner status changes immediately rather than having to query and wait for the result. Status-change notifications include the active Profile name, which permits an app to use the enable/disable scanner API calls only when status changes effect a relevant Profile.

Process Plug-ins

Process Plug-ins are used in DataWedge to manipulate the received data according to the requirement, before sending to the foreground application via the Output Plug-in.

• Basic Data Formatting Process Plug-in – The Basic Data Formatting Plug-in allows DataWedge to add a prefix and/or a suffix to the captured data before passing it to an Output Plug-in.

• Advanced Data Formatting Process Plug-in – The Advanced Data Formatting Plug-in allows DataWedge to apply rules (actions to be performed based on defined criteria) to the data received via an input plug-in before passing it to an Output Plug-in.

Output Plug-ins

Output Plug-ins are responsible for sending the data from Input Plug-ins to a foreground application on the device.

• Keystroke Output Plug-in – The Keystroke Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug-in to the foreground applications by emulating keystrokes.

• Intent Output Plug-in – The Intent Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug-ins to foreground applications using the Android Intent mechanism.

• IP Output Plug-in – The IP Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug-ins to a host computer via a network connection. Captured data can be sent over an IP network to a specified IP address and port using either TCP or UDP transport protocols.

Profiles Screen

To launch DataWedge, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and touch . By default, three profiles appear:

• Profile0

• Launcher

Auto Switch to Default on Event

This feature configures DataWedge to select an external scanner as the default scanning device immediately upon connection and revert to a built-in scanner when the external scanner is disconnected. External scanners include those connecting by Bluetooth, serial cable or snap-on module. Disabled by default. This is only available when Scanner Selection is set to Auto.

This helps reduce scanning workflow interruptions when a Bluetooth scanner is introduced and/or it becomes disconnected due to losing power or moving out of range.

• Disabled - No scanner switching occurs when an external scanner is connected or disconnected (default).

• On connect - Selects the external scanner as the default scanning device immediately upon connection.

• On disconnect - Reverts to a built-in scanner based on its position in an internally managed scanner list (which varies by host device). This is usually the scanner most recently used prior to the external connection (see notes below).

• On connect/disconnect - Selects an external scanner as the default scanning device immediately upon connection. Upon disconnection, reverts to the scanner set as the default prior to the external connection.

NOTE: The system selects the default scanner based on the connection state and the scanner's position in an internally

managed scanner list. If the newly connected scanner is lower in the scanner list than the one currently selected as the default scanner, the newly connected scanner becomes the default scanner.

On devices with only one built-in scanner or imager, On disconnect reverts to that built-in scanner or imager.

UPC EAN Params

Allows the configuration of the parameters that apply to more than one UPC or EAN decoder.

NOTE: Not all parameter options are available with all scanners. See the DataWedge app on each device for the available

scanners and parameter options.

• Convert DataBar To UPC EAN - If this is set it converts DataBar barcodes to UPC/EAN format. For this setting to work UPC/EAN symbologies must be enabled. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled. (default - disabled).

• UPC Reduced Quiet Zone - Enables decoding of margin-less UPC barcodes. (default - disabled)

• Bookland - Enable Bookland decoding. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled. (default - disabled).

• Bookland Format - If Bookland EAN is enabled, select one of the following formats for Bookland data:

• Format ISBN-10 - The decoder reports Bookland data starting with 978 in traditional 10-digit format with

the special Bookland check digit for backward-compatibility. Data starting with 979 is not considered Bookland in this mode. (default)

• Format ISBN-13 - The decoder reports Bookland data (starting with either 978 or 979) as EAN-13 in

13-digit format to meet the 2007 ISBN-13 protocol.

• Coupon - Enables Coupon code decoding. Note that in order to successfully decode Coupon codes, all of the correct decoders must be enabled. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled. (default - disabled).

• Coupon Report Mode - Traditional coupon symbols are composed of two barcode: UPC/EAN and Code

128. A new coupon symbol is composed of a single Data Expanded barcode. The new format offers more options for purchase values (up to $999.999) and supports complex discount offers as a second purchase requirement. An interim coupon symbol also exists that contain both types of barcodes: UPC/EAN and Databar Expanded. This format accommodates both retailers that do not recognize or use the additional information included in the new coupon symbol, as well as those who can process new coupon symbols.

• Old Coupon Report Mode - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports both UPC and Code 128,

scanning is interim coupon symbol reports UPC, and scanning a new coupon symbol reports nothing (no decode).

• New Coupon Report Mode - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports either UPC or Code 128, and

scanning an interim coupon symbol or a new coupon symbol reports Databar Expanded.

• Both Coupon Report Modes - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports both UPC and Code 128, and

scanning an interim coupon symbol or a new coupon symbol reports Databar Expanded. (default)

• Ean Zero Extend – Enable this parameter to add five leading zeros to decoded EAN-8 symbols to make them compatible in format to EAN-13 symbols. Disable this to transmit EAN-8 symbols as is. Default – disabled.

• Linear Decode - This option applies to code types containing two adjacent blocks, for example, UPC-A, EAN-8, EAN-13. Enable this parameter to transmit a bar code only when both the left and right blocks are successfully decoded within one laser scan. Enable this option when bar codes are in proximity to each other (default - enabled).

• Retry Count - Retry count for auto-discriminating for supplementals. Possible values are 2 to 20 inclusive. Note that this flag is only considered if Supplemental Mode - UPC EAN is set to one of the following values:

Supplementals Auto, Supplementals Smart, Supplementals 378-379, Supplementals 978-979, Supplementals 977 or Supplementals 414-419-434-439 (2 to 20, default 10).

• Security Level - The scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN barcodes. Select higher security levels for lower quality barcodes. There is an inverse relationship between security and decode speed, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary for the application.

• Level 0 - This default setting allows the scanner to operate fastest, while providing sufficient security in

decoding “in-spec” UPC/EAN barcodes.

• Level 1 - As barcode quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to misdecodes before

others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed barcodes, and the misdecodes are limited to these characters, select this security level. (default).

• Level 2 - If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed barcodes, and the misdecodes are not limited to

characters 1, 2, 7, and 8, select this security level.

• Level 3 - If the scanner is still misdecoding, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is

an extreme measure against misdecoding severely out of spec barcodes. Selecting this level of security can significantly impair the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of the barcodes.

• Supplemental2 - Enables or disables this option. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled.

• Supplemental5 - Enables or disables this option. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled.

• Supplemental Mode

• No Supplementals - the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the scanner

decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters (default).

• Supplemental Always - the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters,

and ignores symbols without supplementals.

• Supplements Auto - the scanner decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters

immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must decode the barcode the number of times set via UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.

• Supplemental Smart - Enables smart supplementals. In this mode the decoder returns the decoded

value of the main block right away if it does not belong to one of the following supplemental types: 378, 379, 977, 978, 979, 414, 419, 434 or 439. If the barcode starts with one of the prefixes it searches the image more aggressively for a supplemental. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main barcode is returned.

• Supplemental 378-379 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes starting with

378 or 379. Disables reading of supplementals for any other UPC/EAN barcode not starting with 378 or

379. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main barcode is returned.

• Supplemental 978-979 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes starting with

978 or 979. Disables reading of supplementals for another UPC/EAN barcode not starting with 978 or

979. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main barcode is returned.

• Supplemental 414-419-434-439 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes

starting with 414, 419, 434 or 439. Disables reading of supplementals for another UPC/EAN barcode 4 -

16 not starting with 414, 419, 434 or 439. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main barcode is returned.

• Supplemental 977 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes starting with 977.

Disables reading of supplementals for another UPC/EAN barcode not starting with 977. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main barcode is returned.

That is, there could be cases where the data can be decoded from more than one character set. The first character set from the preferred list which can decode the data successfully will be chosen to decode the data and sent to the user. Any other character set that is in the list but lower in the preferred order, would not be considered, even if the data could be successfully decoded using such character set.

The preferred character set and its preference order is configurable to the user through the Auto Character Set Preferred Order menu. Users can change the order by dragging the icon for that menu item. To delete an item, long press on an item and the Delete option will appear. To add a new item, tap the menu icon at top right corner and options to add UTF-8 and GB2312 will appear.

Intent Overview

The core components of an Android application (its activities, services, and broadcast receivers) are activated by intents. An intent is a bundle of information (an Intent object) describing a desired action - including the data to be acted upon, the category of component that should perform the action, and other pertinent instructions. Android locates an appropriate component to respond to the intent, launches a new instance of the component if one is needed, and passes it the Intent object.

Components advertise their capabilities, the kinds of intents they can respond to, through intent filters. Since the system must learn which intents a component can handle before it launches the component, intent filters are specified in the manifest as <intent-filter>elements. A component may have any number of filters, each one describing a different capability. For example, if the manifest contains the following:

<intent-filter . . . >

</intent-filter>

In the Intent output plug-in configuration, the Intent action would be:

android.intent.action.DEFAULT

and the Intent category would be:

android.intent.category.MAIN.

The Intent delivery option allows the method by which the intent is delivered to be specified. The delivery mechanisms are Send via startActivity, Send via startService, Send via startForegroundService, or Broadcast intent.

The decode related data added to the Intent’s bundle can be retrieved using the and

Intent.getSerializableExtra() calls, using the following String tags:

• String LABEL_TYPE_TAG = “com.symbol.datawedge.label_type”;

• String contains the label type of the barcode.

• String DATA_STRING_TAG = “com.symbol.datawedge.data_string”;

• String contains the output data as a String. In the case of concatenated barcodes, the decode data is

concatenated and sent out as a single string.

Intent.getStringExtra()

• String DECODE_DATA_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.decode_data”;

• Decode data is returned as a list of byte arrays. In most cases there will be one byte array per decode.

For barcode symbologies that support concatenation, for example, Codabar, Code128, MicroPDF, etc., the decoded data is stored in multiple byte arrays (one byte array per barcode). Clients can get data in each byte array by passing an index.

Most scanning applications might want the user to be able to decode data and for that decode data to be sent to the *current* activity but not necessarily displayed. If this is the case, then the activity needs to be marked as ‘singleTop’ in its AndroidManifest.xml file. If your activity is not defined as singleTop, then on every decode, the system will create another copy of your Activity and send the decode data to this second copy.

Finally there will be a configuration option for each process plug-in so that the process plug-in can be configured specifically for the intent output, which in this case is the basic data formatting process plug-in.

Generating Advanced Data Formatting Rules

The ADF plug-in applies rules (actions to be performed based on defined criteria) to the data received via an input plug-in before sending it to the output plug-in.

• Rules - The ADF process plug-in consists of one or more rules. DataWedge formats the output data according to the first matching rule. A rule is a combination of criteria and a set of actions to be performed, upon fulfillment of the criteria set in the rule.

• Criteria - Criteria can be set according to Input plug-in, symbology, matching string within the data (at the specified position) and/or data length. Received data must match the defined criteria in order for the data to be processed.

• Actions - A set of procedures defined to format data. There are four types of actions which are for formatting cursor movement, data modification, data sending and delay specifications. An action can be defined to send the first number of characters to the Output plug-in, pad the output data with spaces or zeros, remove spaces in data, etc.

Configuring ADF Plug-in

Configuring the ADF plug-in consists of creating a rule, defining the criteria and defining the actions.

1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and touch .
