Profiles
DataWedge is based on profiles and plug-ins. A profile contains information on how DataWedge should behave with
different applications.
68 | DataWedge Configuration
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 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
DataWedge Configuration | 69
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.
• MSR Input Plug-in – The Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) Input Plug-in is responsible for reading data from an
MSR. Raw data read from the MSR can be processed or formatted using Process Plug-ins as required.
DataWedge has built-in feedback functionality for the MSR 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.

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).
• Linear Decode -
• Bookland - Enable Bookland decoding. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled.

• Coupon Repost Mode - Traditional coupon symbols are composed of two bar code: UPC/EAN and Code 128. A
new coupon symbol is composed of a single Data Expanded bar code. 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 bar codes: 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.
• Bookland Format - If Bookland is enabled, select one of the following formats for Bookland data:
- Bookland ISBN-10 - The scanner reports Bookland data starting with 978 in tranditional 10–digit format with
the special Bookland check digit for backward-compatibility. Data starting with 979 is not considered
Bookland in this mode.
- Bookland ISBNN-13 - The scanner reports Bookland data (starting with either 978 or 979) as EAN-13 in 13–
digit format to meet the 2007 ISBN-13 protocol.

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:
82 | DataWedge Configuration
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”;
- 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.
The MSR 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 MSR_DATA_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_data”;
- String contains the output data as a String. The data from the MSR tracks is concatenated and sent out as a
single string.
• String MSR_TRACK1_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track1”;
- MSR track 1 data is returned as a byte array.
• String MSR_TRACK2_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track2”;
- MSR track 2 data is returned as a byte array.
• String MSR_TRACK3_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track3”;
- MSR track 3 data is returned as a byte array.
• String MSR_TRACK1_STATUS_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track1_status”;
- MSR track 1 decode status as an Integer where 0 indicates a successful decode.
• String MSR_TRACK2_STATUS_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track2_status”;
- MSR track 2 decode status as an Integer where 0 indicates a successful decode.
• String MSR_TRACK3_STATUS_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.msr_track3_status”;
- MSR track 3 decode status as an Integer where 0 indicates a successful decode.
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.
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.
DataWedge Configuration | 99
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.
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.
