mobile.scanBarCode

Allow the user to scan a barcode with a mobile device

Syntax

ui.Interface.frontCall("mobile", "scanBarCode",
   [], [code, type] )
  1. code - Holds a string representation of the barcode.
  2. type - Holds the name of the barcode type (EAN, UPC, CODE_39, CODE_128, QR, DATA_MATRIX, etc)

Usage

The "scanBarCode" front call starts the barcode scanner to let the user scan a barcode with the device.

If the barcode scan failed, the code return parameter is set to NULL and type is set to "canceled".

If case of successful barcode scan, the front call returns the string representation of the barcode (code) and the barcode symbology (type).
