CHAPTER 4 DATAWEDGE
CONFIGURATION
DataWedge Configuration
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 laser scanner or imager.
To capture bar code data:
1.Ensure that an application is open on the WT6000 and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2.Aim the exit window at a bar code.
3.Press the trigger button. Ensure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The Charging/Scan LED
Indicators illuminate green and a beep sounds to indicate a successful decode.
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
4 - 2WT6000 Integrator Guide
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:
• 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 DataW edge 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 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.
DataWedge Configuration4 - 3
• 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, touch > . By default, three profiles appear:
• Profile0

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:
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
• 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 IPW edge application from the Support
Central web site: http://www.zebra.com/support.
IP Output allows DataWedge to send captured data 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.

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.

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 Internal
Storage. 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 Internal
Storage 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.
DataWedge Configuration 4 - 35
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.
Programming Notes
The following paragraphs provide specific programming information when using DataWedge.
4 - 36 WT6000 Integrator Guide
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.
Disable DataWedge on Device and Mass Deploy
To disable DataWedge and deploy onto multiple devices:
1.Touch > .
2.Touch .
3.Touch Settings.
4.Unselect the DataWedge enabled check box.
5.Export the DataWedge configuration. See Exporting a Configuration File on page 4-34 for instructions. See
Configuration and Profile File Management on page 4-35 for instructions for using the auto import feature.
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 key 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”);
sendBroadcast(sendIntent);
