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?

I’m trying to accomplish the same time.  I made all the changes but you still have to tap on the scan icon.  The camera won’t stay open for multiple scans.  I’m assuming because it has save the scan and then re-open the form…. Would love see if anyone has figured this out.

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