Soft Scan Trigger
DataWedge allows a native Android application to programmatically start, stop, or toggle the scan trigger state.
The application can issue an Android Broadcast Intent, to control the scanner, without requiring the scan key to
be pressed. The active DataWedge profile is required to control all the parameters during a scan operation.

Scanner Input Plugin
The ScannerInputPlugin API command can be used to enable/disable the scanner plug-in being used by the
currently active Profile. Disabling the scanner plug-in effectively disables scanning in that Profile, regardless of
whether the Profile is associated or unassociated. Valid only when Barcode Input is enabled in the active
Profile.
NOTE: Use of this API changes only the runtime status of the scanner; it does not make persistent changes to the Profile.
Function Prototype
Parameters
action: String "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION_SCANNERINPUTPLUGIN"
extra_data: String "com.symbol.datawedge.api.EXTRA_PARAMETER"
<parameter>: The parameter as a string, using either of the following:
• "ENABLE_PLUGIN" - enables the plug-in
• "DISABLE_PLUGIN" - disables the plug-in
Return Values
None.
Error and debug messages will be logged to the Android logging system which then can be viewed and filtered
by the logcat command. You can use logcat from an ADB shell to view the log messages, for example:
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION");
i.putExtra("
com.symbol.datawedge.
api.SOFT_SCAN
_TRIGGER", "<parameter>"
);
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(ACTION);
i.putExtra(E
XTRA_DATA, "<paramete
r>");
