Scandit SDK For Codename One

This library provides a wrapper for the Scandit barcode scanner in Codename One apps.

Platform Support

Currently iOS and Android are supported. Call CodeScanner.isSupported() to check runtime platform support.

Installation

1. Add the cn1-codescan-scandit.cn1lib to your project’s "lib" directory. (Or install the cn1-codescan-scandit library through Codename One Settings > Extensions).

2. Install the the Codename One Objective-C Bridge cn1lib in your project, as the scandit library depends on it. You can find this through the extensions section of Codename One Settings.

3. Download both the Android SDK and iOS SDK from Scandit. Version 5.5.2 recommended as that is the version we used when developing this module.

4. Copy the ScanditBarcodeScanner.aar file from the android SDK into the "native/android" directory of your project.

5. Copy the ScanditBarcodeScanner.framework directory of the iOS SDK into the "native/ios" directory of your project.

6. Refresh CN1libs in your project, and then do a clean and build on your project. (This is important! Don’t forget to clean and build).

7. Add the following to the init() method of your app:

   CodeScanner.install();

8. Run your project in the simulator at least once. The first time it runs, it will extract some files from the native SDK. If everything went OK, you should see a message saying "The ScanditSDK was successfully installed". You should now be ready to build for iOS and/or Android.

Building from Source

1. Download both the Android SDK and iOS SDK from Scandit. Version 5.5.2 recommended as that is the version we used when developing this module.

2. Copy the ScanditBarcodeScanner.aar file from the android SDK into the "native/android" directory.

3. Copy the ScanditBarcodeScanner.framework directory of the iOS SDK into the "native/ios" directory.

4. Build the project. (ant jar). If the build is successful, you’ll find the cn1lib at "dist/cn1-codescan-scandit.cn1lib"

Building for Distribution

Due to licensing restrictions, we cannot distribute the cn1lib with the ScanditSDK bundled. To produce a cn1lib that doesn’t have the ScanditSDK embedded, run the release target of the ANT build file.

Usage Instructions

See the Simple Demo App.

License

The library itself is licensed under BSD. The ScanditSDK carries a proprietary license, which is why it is not included in this distribution.
