barCodeScanner SAPUI5

[former_member605188]

Hey,

i was looking around and it seems there are a lot of ways to implement the scanner and i'm not sure what's the right approach, i'm using the sap web IDE and i'm trying to build a simple mobile app to scan barcodes,

any one has a code example that uses a sap libary? if not, ANY working example will do.

thanks.

Hi Lidor ziflinger,

You need to use a 3rd party js library to do the scanning part. There is one popular library which does that.

Luck for you there is also a blog which is based on the above js library.

One more thing.. If you are planning to deploy the app as a hybrid application (Fiori Client) then you can use the below control to do that.

(the above will only work in mobile)
