Activity Starter for Zebra DataWedge API

MIT App Inventor Help
1

Hello,

I'm going to make an application for a Zebra data collector that has an system application (DataWedge) that supports the barcode reader.
Here is the documentation and an example of an application in Android Studio https://techdocs.zebra.com/datawedge/6-6/guide/api/tutorials/

The question is whether it is possible to make such an application in App Inventor using Activity Starter?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't think it is possible with the Activity Starter component, because the goal here is receiving the intent, i.e. source, label type and data string but it should be possible as extension

you could write your own extension and create the functionality yourself...
more information about how to create an extension see the App Inventor Extensions document
however that will be more advanced and will require some Java skills...

If so, it is a great opportunity for people skilled in writing extensions and earning some money on such an extension, because I will be the first and not the only one who will buy this extension.
