BarCode Scanner (QR Code and Code 128)

[ep_zagreb]

We have in our test application implemented BarCode Scanner and we have a "problem".

We have both QR code (with address) and Code 128.

Can we somehow limit BarCode Scanner to scan only Code 128 and ignore QR Code.

Not within AppSheet. 

I know that iOS devices allow you to turn OFF the capability of scanning QR Codes.   Maybe your device(s) do as well? 

There is the ability to use "other" scanning services (Scandit is the default/provided service), but that does require an Enterprise account.

1) I think you may wish to mention what you mean by "ignore" . What result you would like the app to show when a "QR Code" is scanned.

2) Are the QR codes always captured as URLs with the site name included?

Just to answer your questions.

QRcode is address+some data (street+tech description) of Item, and Code 128 is Inventory number of item that is needed in this case.

QRcode data are not needed for purpose of application.

Answering to your question straight away, it is impossible for the moment.  AppSheet scanner will scan all the different types of the codes as far as the appsheet scanner is readable. You are not able to able/disable a certain type of code arbitarily.  That is the current limiation of capability of Appsheet scanner.

Additionally, on iOS, there is no focus on iOS scanner (with Android, this is not a case), so we are rolling a dice to see which code the scanner is actually reading if you have documents where the codes (bar and QR etc) are sitting in the vicinity.  Actually it is difficult to know to see which Code the scanner actually read. Thats another limitation. (Less useful) Again this is a case for iOS.
