BarcodeScenner doesn't work

Maxim_K_ — Sat, 01 Oct 2016 10:53:00 GMT

Hello everyone!

I've installed the BarcodeScanner from the interface of Intel XDK. But every time I try to use the code of example follow by the official documentation it give me the error: "There is no handler for the following exec call: BarcodeScanner.scan". Could you help me to solve the issue? Thank you.

Hello,

I have an app with barcode scanner plugin working perfectly to scan QR and barcodes.

BarcodeScanner is version 4.1.0

You also need Camera plugin.

My code is very simple, at a button click, call this function:

function scanCP(){
	cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(
    	function (result) {
			if(result.text.length !== 12){
				bootbox.alert("Error al leer el código, intente nuevamente");
			}else{
				$("#i_numerocp").val(result.text);
			}
    	},
    	function (error) {
        	bootbox.alert("Error en el escaneo del Nº de Carta de Porte: " + error);
    	}, 
		{//opciones varias
			//"preferFrontCamera": true, // iOS and Android
			//"showFlipCameraButton": true, // iOS and Android
			//"prompt": "Place a barcode inside the scan area", // supported on Android only
			"formats": "CODE_128" // default: all but PDF_417 and RSS_EXPANDED
			//"orientation": "landscape" // Android only (portrait|landscape), default unset so it rotates with the device
		}
	);	
}

This opens the device camera to get the bar code image.

Don't pay attention to bootbox, is just a lib to show alerts and dialogs.

I can't say nothing about the error, I have this working very easily, no problems at all.

NOTE: after write all this I tested my app with XDK 3522 first time. The new Simulator give your error, did you test your app from App Preview or generating an APK?

Regards

Diego

Dear Diego,

Dear Diego,

Thank you for answer! The problem is that the code from the example work well on AndroidOS but doesn't work at all on iOS. The camera even doesn't start. Any ideas? P.S. I check by Intel App Preview only.

Maxim> insert this code in you JS file. Maybe there is an error in other point before the barcode call. I had some problems with errors in iOS that doens´t happens in Android.

//ativar em caso de necessidade de entender algum erro
window.onerror = function (errorMsg, url, lineNumber, column, errorObj) {
    analytics.sendAppView('Erro script: ' + errorMsg + url + lineNumber); 
    alert('Error: ' + errorMsg + ' Script: ' + url + ' Line: ' + lineNumber + ' Column: ' + column + ' StackTrace: ' +  errorObj);
 };
