CHAPTER 3 DATAWEDGE

Introduction

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

To capture bar code data:

1. Ensure that an application that is to receive the data is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text

cursor in text field).

2. Aim the exit window at a bar code.

3. Press and hold the Scan button. The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure that the bar

code is within the area formed by the aiming pattern. The Data Capture LED lights red to indicate that data
capture is in process.

Figure 3-1 TC51 Data Capture

3 - 2 TC51 Touch Computer Integrator Guide for Android Version 6.0.1

4. The Data Capture LED lights 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:

• 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 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 - enables scanning when the Launcher is in foreground. Note: to save battery power, disable
this profile when not required.

• DWDemo - provides support for the DWDemo application.

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 these 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 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

DataWedge 3 - 3

• 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 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
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.

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 bar codes.

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

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

• Level 2 - If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed bar codes, 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

• 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,

3 - 22 TC51 Touch Computer Integrator Guide for Android Version 6.0.1

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.

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

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

• String contains the label type of the bar code.

Intent.getStringExtra() and

DataWedge 3 - 29

• 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.

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.
