Intro
The built-in Barcode and QR scanner make it possible to scan barcodes and qr-codes using the camera on a device. To test the Barcode scanner you will need to use the Aquro Preview app (because their is now way to test the device camera in the Aquro app studio in a browser).
The following Visual Coding block can be used to utilize this feature:
Device.Barcode.Scan
Scans a barcode with the camera on the device
Parameters:
None
Return values:
Code (Value) - The scanned barcode
Format (Value) - The format of the scanned barcode
Error (Value) - Error if something went wrong
Outlets:
GotBarcode - Called if a barcode got returned from the camera
Cancelled - Called if the action of scanning a barcode was cancelled by the user
Error - Called if something went wrong
You can always use your own custom JavaScript code to customize the way you want this feature to behave in your app.
Aquro uses the phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner Cordova plugin for this device feature.
More documentation and code examples for this plugin can be found here: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner
