We have created both simple and advanced samples that show you how to capture barcodes and how to use MatrixScan functionality. The simple samples allow you to get going quickly, while the advanced ones show you how to use the additional settings and setup the scanner for the best user experience.
The best way to start working with the Scandit Data Capture SDK is to run one of our sample apps.
Before you can run a sample app, you need to go through a few simple steps:
-
Clone or download the samples repository.
-
Sign in to your Scandit account and download the newest iOS Framework at https://ssl.scandit.com/downloads/. Unzip the archive and copy the
frameworks
directory into the parent directory of the one with all the samples. It should look like this:
-
Open the
samples
directory as a project in Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA. Make sure you always have the most recent version of Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA and the Android plugin installed. -
Set the license key. To do this, sign in to your Scandit account and find your license key at https://ssl.scandit.com/licenses/`. Once you have the license key, add it to the sample:
// Enter your Scandit SDK License key here. // Your Scandit SDK License key is available via your Scandit SDK web account. public static final String SCANDIT_LICENSE_KEY = "-- ENTER YOUR SCANDIT LICENSE KEY HERE --";
SCANDIT_LICENSE_KEY
variables are placed in each sample project Activity class. -
Run the sample in Android Studio or IntelliJ IDEA by selecting a run configuration and pressing the Run button. We recommend running our samples on a physical device as otherwise no camera is available.
