DataWedge Configuration
Note: This chapter applies to DataWedge on Android devices.
DataWedge is an application that reads data, processes the data and sends the data to an application.
Basic Scanning
Scanning can be performed using the imager.

2 On the MC32N0–R, rotate the Turret for optimal scanning position.
3 Point the scan exit window at a bar code.
4 Press and hold the Scan button. The red scan line turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure that the scan line crosses
every bar and space of the bar code.

Figure 55: Data Capture MC32N0–S
The Scan LEDs light green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully. The
captured data appears in the text field.
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:
DataWedge Configuration | 59
• Associated application
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 visible and hidden pre-configured profiles which support specific built-in
applications:
• Visible profiles:
- Profile0 - created automatically the first time DataWedge runs. Generic profile used when there are no user
created profiles associated with an application.
- Launcher - disables scanning when the Launcher is in foreground.
- DWDemo - provides support for the DWDemo application.
• Hidden profiles (not shown to the device):
- RD Client - provides support for MSP.
- MSP Agent - provides support for MSP.
- MspUserAttribute - provides support for MSP.
- Camera - disables scanning when the default camera application is in foreground.
- RhoElements - disables scanning when RhoElements is in foreground.
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 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
bar code 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 bar code scanner contained in, or attached to the device.
DataWedge contains base plug-ins for these input devices.
• Bar Code Scanner Input Plug-in – The Bar Code Scanner Input Plug-in is responsible for reading data from the
integrated bar code scanner and supports different types of bar code readers including laser, imager and internal
camera. Raw data read from the bar code scanner can be processed or formatted using Process Plug-ins as
60 | DataWedge Configuration
required. DataWedge has built-in feedback functionality for the bar code scanner to issue user alerts. The
feedback settings can be configured according to user requirement.
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 Plugin 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, touch > DataWedge. By default, three profiles appear:

• 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 bar code 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 bar code 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 bar code 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 bar code not starting with 378 or 379. Tries to
scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main bar code 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 bar code not starting with 978 or 979. Tries to
scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main bar code 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 bar code 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 bar code 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 bar code is returned.
• 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).
• Bookland - Enable Bookland decoding. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled.
• 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.
• Convert DataBar To UPC EAN - If this is set it converts DataBar bar codes 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.
Reader Params
Allows the configuration of parameters specific to the selected bar code reader.
• Beam Timer - Sets the maximum amount of time that the reader remains on (0 - 60,000 ms in increments of 100
ms). A value of 0 sets the reader to stay on indefinitely (default -15000).
• Linear Security Level - Sets the number of times a bar code is read to confirm an accurate decode.
- Security Short or Codabar - Two times read redundancy if short bar code or Codabar.
- Security All Twice - Two times read redundancy for all bar codes (default).
- Security Long and Short - Two times read redundancy for long bar codes, three times for short bar codes.
- Security All Thrice - Three times read redundancy for all bar codes.
• Picklist - Allows the imager to decode only the bar code that is directly under the cross-hair/reticle (+) part of the
pattern. This feature is useful in applications where multiple bar codes may appear in the field of view during a
decode session and only one of them is targeted for decode.
DataWedge Configuration | 69
- Disable – Disables Picklist mode. Any bar code within the field of view can be decoded (default).
- Centered - Enables the Picklist mode so that only the bar code in the center of the image is decoded. This is
most useful when used in conjunction with the static and dynamic reticle viewfinder modes. Note: This mode
is only valid for decoder modules that supports a viewfinder. If one tries to set this for a unsupported decoder
then the device would issue an error. (Camera scanner only).
- Reticle - Enables the Picklist mode so that only the bar code that is directly under the cross-hair (reticle) is
decoded. This is useful when used in conjunction with the static and dynamic reticle viewfinder modes. (Scan
Module Only)

from LCD displays such as cellphones (imager only).
- Disable - Disables the LCD mode (default).
- Enable - Enables LCD mode.
Note: When using the LCD mode, a degradation in performance may be observed and the aiming
crosshair may blink until the bar code is decoded.
• Illumination mode - Turns camera illumination on and off. This option is only available when camera is selected
in the Barcode input Scanner selection option.
- On - Illumination is on.
- Off - Illumination is off (default).
• Inverse 1D Mode - This parameter allows the user to select decoding on inverse 1D bar codes.
- Disable - Disables decoding of inverse 1D bar codes (default).
- Enable - Enables decoding of only inverse 1D bar codes.
- Auto - Allows decoding of both twice positive and inverse 1D bar codes.
• Viewfinder Mode - Configures the Viewfinder modes supported for camera scanning.
- Viewfinder Enabled - Enables only the viewfinder.
- Static Reticle - Enables the viewfinder and a red reticle in the center of the screen which helps selecting the
bar code (default).
Scan Params
Allows the configuration of Code ID and decode feedback options.
• Code ID Type - A Code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This is useful when the
reader is decoding more than one code type. Select a code ID character to insert between the prefix and the
decoded symbol.
- Code ID Type None - No prefix (default).
- Code ID Type Aim - A standards based three character prefix.
- Code ID Type Symbol - A Symbol defined single character prefix.
Note: Not all ringtones are fully supported as decode tones and those of longer length may be truncated
when used as a decode tone. The recommendation is to test the selected tone for operation before
deployment to a customer site.

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 . . . >
<action android:name=”android.intent.action.DEFAULT” />
<category android:name=”android.intent.category.MAIN” />
</intent-filter>
In the Intent output plug-in configuration, the Intent action would be:
android.intent.category.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 or Broadcast intent.
The decode related data added to the Intent’s bundle can be retrieved using the Intent.getStringExtra() and
Intent.getSerializableExtra() calls, using the following String tags:
• String LABEL_TYPE_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.label_type”;
72 | DataWedge Configuration
- String contains the label type of the bar code.
String DATA_STRING_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.data_string”;
•
- String contains the output data as a String. In the case of concatenated bar codes, the decode data is
concatenated and sent out as a single string.
• 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 bar
code symbologies that support concatenation e.g. Codabar, Code128, MicroPDF, etc., the decoded data is
stored in multiple byte arrays (one byte array per bar code). 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.
IP Output
Note: IPWedge application is required on a host computer. Download the IPWedge application from the
Support Central web site: http://www.zebra.com/support.

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.

Configuration and Profile File Management
The configuration or profile settings for DataWedge can be saved to a file for distribution to other devices.
After making configuration or profile changes, export the new configuration or profile to the root of the microSD
card. The configuration file created is automatically named datawedge.db. The profile file created is
automatically named dwprofile_x.db, where x is the profile name. The files can then the copied to the microSD
card of other devices and imported into DataWedge on those devices. Importing a configuration or profile replaces
the existing settings.
Enterprise Folder
Internal storage contains the Enterprise folder (/enterprise). The Enterprise folder is persistent and maintains
data after an Enterprise reset. After an Enterprise Reset, DataWedge checks folder /enterprise/device/
settings/datawedge/enterprisereset/ for a configuration file, datawedge.db or a profile file,
dwprofile_x.db. If the file is found, it imports the file to replace any existing configuration or profile.
Note: A Factory Reset deletes all files in the Enterprise folder.
Auto Import
DataWedge supports remote deployment of a configuration to a device, using tools such as MSP. DataWedge
monitors the /enterprise/device/settings/datawedge/autoimport folder for the DataWedge
configuration file (datawedge.db) or a profile file (dwprofile_x.db). When DataWedge launches it checks
the folder. If a configuration or profile file is found, it imports the file to replace any existing configuration or profile.
Once the file has been imported it is deleted from the folder.
While DataWedge is running it receives a notification from the system that a file has been placed into the /
enterprise/device/settings/datawedge/autoimport folder. When this occurs, DataWedge imports
this new configuration or profile, replacing the existing one and delete the file. DataWedge begins using the imported
configuration immediately.
DataWedge Configuration | 85
Note:
A Factory Reset deletes all files in the Enterprise folder.
It is strongly recommended that the user exits DataWedge before remotely deploying any configuration or
profile. It is required that the file permissions are set to 666.
Programming Notes
The following paragraphs provide specific programming information when using DataWedge.
Overriding Trigger Key in an Application
To override the trigger key in an application, create a profile for the application that disables the Barcode input. In the
application, use standard APIs, such as onKeyDown() to listen for the KEYCODE_BUTTON_L1 and
KEYCODE_BUTTON_R1 presses.
Capture Data and Taking a Photo in the Same Application
To be able to capture bar code data and take a photo in the same application:
Create a Datawedge profile pertaining to the picture taking Activity in your application that disables scanning and
•
use standard Android SDK APIs to control the Camera.
• The default Datawedge profile takes care of the scanning in the application. You might want to create another
DataWedge profile that caters to any specific scanning needs, associated to your Application's Activity pertaining
to scanning.

on page 83 for instructions. See
Soft Scan Feature
DataWedge allows a native Android application to programmatically start, stop, or toggle the scan trigger state. The
application can issue an Android Broadcast Intent, to control the scanner, without requiring the scan button to be
pressed. The active DataWedge profile is required to control all the parameters during a scan operation.
The structure of the broadcast intent that resolves to the soft scan is:
action: “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.api.ACTION_SOFTSCANTRIGGER”
extras: This is a String name/value pair that contains trigger state details.
name: “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.api.EXTRA_PARAMETER”
value: “START_SCANNING” or “STOP_SCANNING” or “TOGGLE_SCANNING”

Sample
Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(“com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.api.ACTION_SOFTSCANTRIGGER”);
sendIntent.putExtra(“com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.api.EXTRA_PARAMETER”, “TOGGLE_SCANNING”);

Manual File Configuration
Groups File
A Groups file is a text file that provides a list of groups and assigns users to each group.
Administrator Utilities | 97
The text file contains one line for each group. Each line is formatted as follows:
<groupname>:<user1>,<user2>,...<usern>
where:
<groupname> = the name for a group. This is also the name of the White List file for this group. This field uses any
alphanumeric character.
<user1> through <userN> = the name of the user assigned to this group. The user name is the same as that defined
for the MultiUser feature. See MultiUser Administrator on page 93 for more information.
Note:
If the same user is assigned to multiple groups, then that user’s White List will be a logical union of the
White Lists for all of the groups that user is assigned.
A line starting with the # character is considered a comment and is ignored.
Examples:
AdminGroup:alpha
•
The Group name is AdminGroup and assigns user alpha to the group.
-
ManagersGroup:beta,gamma
•
- The Group name is ManagerGroup and assigns users beta and gamma to the group.
White List File
A White List file is a text file that provides a list of allowed packages from that group. The text file contains one line
for each allowed package for that user group. Each line is format as follows:
<package1name>
.
.
.
<packageNname>
where:
98 | Administrator Utilities
<package1Name> = the package name allowed for this group. Wild cards are allowed for this field.
Example:
Refer to the example of the Groups file above. A White List file of the name AdminGroup could have the following
lines:
com.companyname.application
com.symbol.*
where:
com.companyname.application = the specific application with the package name
com.companyname.application will be permitted for this group.
com.symbol.* = any application that has a package name that starts with
com.symbol will be permitted for this group.
Note:
The wildcard “.*” is allowed and indicates that this group is permitted to run any package.
A default White List for use when the MultiUser feature is disabled takes the same form as above but in
named default.
To assure that administrative users have access to all device functionality, the White List for the administrative users
group should use the wildcard.
At a minimum, the White List for the administrative users group should contain com.symbol.fusion to allow
administrative users the ability to configure Wi-Fi advanced settings.
Package List File
A Package List file is a text file that lists package names that can be imported into the Packages list. The file makes it
easier to enter package name into the application. The text file contains one line for each package name.
Example:
com.zebra.example1
com.zebra.example2
com.zebra.example3
com.zebra.example4
Groups File
A Groups file is a text file that provides a list of groups and assigns users to each group.
