Scanning without tap (using phone app)

I am setting the "scan" in my table.

When the new form open, the column (which will be scanned) opened scanning mode directly?

Here is what I want to do.

There are 2 table, one is "Order", another is "Detail".

1. Completed the "Order",   the new record in "Detail" is open with LINKTOFORM (relation by "ID_order").

2.  The New record in "Detail" require to scan the item with barcode.

To scan the barcode, I do NOT want to tap the phone.

Not to tap this buttonNot to tap this button

 

I want to scan directly when the new "Detail" record is opened.

I found relevant post, but seems not to be solved.

The first column in the form view must be the bar code input column, the column must be required, and auto-advance must be enabled for the form.

The first column is linked to the parent table,
and I would like to use "Auto save",

is it difficult to open the scan directly?

Iโ€™m trying to accomplish the same time.  I made all the changes but you still have to tap on the scan icon.  The camera wonโ€™t stay open for multiple scans.  Iโ€™m assuming because it has save the scan and then re-open the formโ€ฆ. Would love see if anyone has figured this out.

following @Steve 's instruction, I could open automatically.
