Hello Fellow developers!
I was creating an app in which i was trying to use barcode scanner. unfortunately the app is not opening camera i keep getting error in most cell phones!(does work in hardly 1-2 devices tried only on samsung devices).
Below is small program i made to test,
Hi, I tried the fixes but it did not help.
What to do is this.
The set barcodeScanner1 MUST be set to false.
(If set to true it does not find my external scanner. No Idea for what this is usefull )
UseExternalScanner
Set whether or not you wish to use an External Scanning program such as Bar Code Scanner. If false a version of ZXing integrated into App Inventor will be used.
which external scanner are you trying to use?
which device and Android version are you using for your tests?
according to the documentatin, you have to set UseExternalScanner to true if you like to use an external scanner
Thanks Taifun. I got to work the internal scanner. Thats why my answer is late.
I read this and after all I understand the meaning of this. But I prefer explications one can understand before being familiar with it.
in fact, all the reference is very short. Much I cannot use for learning, only for remembering.
By the way: I work with the internal scanner. The problem with KNOX I couldn't resolve.
By not getting a reponse from Knox and having a solution I will do it later if necessary.
well, the default value is TRUE... so no need to set it...
I will assign this thread to @ewpatton and probably this will be updated in the documentation to make it clearer... thank you for your feedback!
