Install

Ionic: ionic cordova plugin add cordova-honeywell-scanner-simplified

Cordova: cordova plugin add cordova-honeywell-scanner-simplified

Tested successfully with

• Honeywell ScanPal EDA50 - Android 4.4 and 7 (confirmed by dorumrr)

• Honeywell CT60 - Android 8.1.0 (confirmed by andreicocari)

Please notify if you have tested with other Honeywell devices!

Usage

Call .listen to capture scans using the device's physical buttons. Call .scan within your application to enable a "software" triggerd scan. You can disable the capturing by calling .release and enable it back by calling .claim followed by .listen method. You can also simulate a softare button to enable the reader behaving in the same way as the hardware scan button(s).

TIP: In Ionic, in order to access the window property, you may need to add window: any = window just above your constructor.

Enable listener

window.plugins.honeywell.listen(function(data) {
  console.log('Scanned: ' + data);
}, function (error) => {
  console.log('Error occured: ' + error);
});

Disable listener

function disable() {
  window.plugins.honeywell.release();
}

Re-enable listener after being disabled (.release)

function enable() {
  window.plugins.honeywell.claim(function(){
    window.plugins.honeywell.listen(function(data) {
      console.log('Scanned: ' + data);
    }, function (error) => {
      console.log('Error occured: ' + error);
    });
  });
}

Scan button simulation to enable readings from within your application

Ionic JS/TS methods:

scanPressed () {
  this.window.plugins.honeywell.softwareTriggerStart(function(data) {
    console.log('Software scan: ' + data);
  }, function(error) {
    console.log('Error occured: ' + error);
  });
}
scanReleased () {
  this.window.plugins.honeywell.softwareTriggerStop();
}

...and the HTML:

<button (touchstart)="scanPressed()" (touchend)="scanReleased()">SCAN</button>
