WD-Mobile barcode scanner via serial port

Question

Recently we got an android tablet with an in-built barcode scanner, when we asked for the SDK, the provider just sent us the android serialport api.

Has anyone implemented the android serialport api with an in-built barcode scanner in windev mobile?

I honestly do not know where to start with this...

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Depending what u want. If u have a android Windows Mobile device that has a bultin scanner u should use the comport to communicate. If u want to use the camera i suggest u use one of the existing apps for scanning barcodes. (U can launch them using a intent). The downside is u need to install a second application.
