cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan()

Jonas1 · ‎09-09-2015

Hi there!

I was using "intel.xdk.device.barcode.scan" to read QR code, but after installing Intel XDK Early Access it is not working. Now I am trying to use "cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan()" but no luck at all. Someone to help me please? Thanks in advance.

Thank Paul.

I went to https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner got the version 4.0.2 now it is working. Thanks again.

I am using https://github.com/wildabeast/BarcodeScanner with good results.

Jonas1 · ‎09-15-2015

Hey Hamilton!

I have tried to build a few minutes ago on Intel XDK 2366 and got the same. "Error: Plugin PhoneGap Plugin BarcodeScanner failed to install."

By the way are you Brazilian? :)

Hamilton_Tenório_da_ · ‎09-15-2015

@Jonas > yes, Brazilian. Do you too? Do you prefer in Portuguese?

See my configuration inside .xdk file:

"id": "BarcodeScanner",
"version": "",
"selectedState": "Included",
"data": {},
"paramvals": {},
"dependsOn": [],
"dependedBy": [],
"custom": "true",
"name": "BarcodeScanner",
"origin": "https://github.com/wildabeast/BarcodeScanner",
"originType": "repo",
"sourceLocation": ""

It is working for me. Android and iOS.

Jonas1 · ‎09-15-2015

Yes Hamilton, I am Brazilian too. Originally from BA, but living in SC :)

We can keep in English no problem.

Well, I installed https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner on the Intel XDK EA 2337 got the same error, then I removed all Custom Intel XDK Plugins and I am able to build it for android, but not for windows. Any suggestion?

If you could, I need help to build and test for windows. I have paid Google and Microsoft stores.

Hamilton_Tenório_da_ · ‎09-16-2015

Hi Jonas. Great! SC and BA are good places. I am from SP/SP.

You are using XDK EA 2337? I don´t know thi version. I am using the 2366 version (newer?). Do you tested with other?

I do not build in Windows. I don´t know, but almost all apps that I tryied before do not run, then I leave this environment for a moment. Is just with this version that you have problems?

You said that you paid Google and Microsoft stores? Both are free (as far as I know). Only Apple has a year payment.

Jonas1 · ‎09-16-2015

Hi Hamilton!

Whats up?

I have both XDK 2366 (Intel Production) and XDK EA 2337. XDK EA is the only way to build windows app 8.1 (I think). (Intel dont reccomend to use it in production).

I was using XDK 2366, but after I removed intel.xdk.device.scanBarcode() plugin I had problem to use cordova scanner plugin, then I built my app with XDK EA 2337, so far it is working, but I am still unable to build windows version in both. I tried to put the plugin you told me and a new one, both fail in XDK 2366.

I wish you were right about google and windows stores were free :) Microsoft and Google US$25 and Apple US$99. In the mean time I dont intend to built for Apple.

Pamela_H_Intel · ‎09-16-2015

@Jonas - there is a problem with Cordova Windows Mobile builds. See https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-xdk/topic/563699#comment-1838804

Hamilton and Jonas,

EA clarification: EA Edition of Intel XDK is the beta version. We introduced it a few months ago as a way to get feedback on new features before we incorporate them into the mainstream version. The numbers do not correspond - Intel XDK 2366 is the latest mainstream version and Intel XDK EA 2337 is the latest early access version. New versions of both will be released very soon.

Hi there!

I still unable to build my application. I have upgraded to XDK 2496 and it still failing..

I tested using phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner from 3.0.0 to 4.0.2 versions and no luck at all.

This is the only build log available.

Jonas -- try building with the Android tile, rather than the Crosswalk tile. It will usually give more error details and may provide useful information as to what is going wrong.

Jonas1 · ‎09-28-2015

Hi Paul"

Until now I had never tried to build with crosswalk. Just tried and here is the log:

Are you getting a "detailed" build error log with these? See about half-way down this doc page for an example of what I mean: https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/using-the-build-tab

Jonas1 · ‎09-29-2015

Hi Paul!

How are you?

I've tried to build (Crosswalk Runtime Embedded 14) with phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner and failed too.
Then I removed and reinstalled SDK Intel 2496. Installed the phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner using
Third-Party plugins instead of Featured Plugins. Now I am able to build Android, Crosswalk and windows applications.

later on I will test it. Too late now and I am going to bed :)

PaulF_IntelCorp · ‎09-30-2015

Jonas, in the plugin management section of the projects tab, what version of the plugin is given when you click that plugin's name in the list of installed plugins? Can you provide a screenshot of that plugin item when it is expanded, similar to this (note I have expanded the "Keyboard" plugin in the image below):

Jonas1 · ‎09-30-2015

Hi Paul!

Whats up?

There you go.

Jonas1 · ‎09-30-2015

Paul, I did as you requested, "https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/using-the-build-tab" built with crosswalk, uploaded crosswalk.x86.timestamp.apk after change to simple mode it didnt allow me upload crosswalk.arm.timestamp.apk...

PaulF_IntelCorp · ‎09-30-2015

Hi Jonas, thank you for that screen shot. We are making adjustments to the feed that specifies the versions for those featured plugins, I think that change will fix what you have been seeing.

Regarding your last post:

I don't follow what you mean. Do you mean that you have an app in the store already and now you cannot upload a new version of it with your current build? If that is what you mean, this post might help: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-xdk/topic/594778

Jonas1 · ‎09-30-2015

Hi Paul!

Thanks for your prompt reply!

I will look forward for the changes. :)

Regarding this post

Regarding your last post:

"https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/using-the-build-tab" built with crosswalk, uploaded crosswalk.x86.timestamp.apk after change to simple mode it didnt allow me upload crosswalk.arm.timestamp.apk...

I meant that for the first time I built my app with crosswalk instead of android. But I was able to upload only one file the crosswalk.x86 one to google play store. My question is: Should I use crosswalk or android tab to build my app? Thanks in advance.

PaulF_IntelCorp · ‎09-30-2015

Jonas, in general, it is best to use Crosswalk to build your app. There are many posts in this forum explaining why. In short, see this blog for some details: http://blogs.intel.com/evangelists/2014/09/02/html5-web-app-webview-app/
