Add a barcode scanner to yor app built in .NET MAUI with Scanbot SDK
The Scanbot SDK Ready-To-Use UI (RTU UI) Components is an easy way to integrate and customize high-level UI components (View Controllers for iOS and Activities for Android) for the most common tasks in Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK. The design and behavior of these RTU UI Components are based on our many years of experience as well as the feedback from our SDK customers.
Launching the RTU UI Barcode Scanner
With just a few lines of code, you can integrate barcode scanning into your application’s workflow. It is as easy as starting an Android activity or presenting an iOS view controller.
private async Task SingleScanning()
{
try
{
var result = await ScanbotBarcodeSDK.BarcodeScanner.OpenBarcodeScannerAsync(new BarcodeScannerConfiguration
{
RecognizerConfiguration = new BarcodeRecognizerConfiguration
{
BarcodeFormats = BarcodeTypes.Instance.AcceptedTypes,
Gs1Handling = Gs1Handling.Decode
},
UseCase = new SingleScanningMode()
{
ConfirmationSheetEnabled = true
}
});
// Comment out the above and use the below to try some of our snippets instead:
// var result = await ScanbotBarcodeSDK.BarcodeScanner.OpenBarcodeScannerAsync(Snippets.SingleScanningUseCase);
// Or Snippets.MultipleScanningUseCase, Snippets.FindAndPickUseCase, Snippets.ActionBar, etc.
var barcodeAsText = result.Items.Select(barcode => $"{barcode.Type}: {barcode.Text}")
.FirstOrDefault() ?? string.Empty;
await DisplayAlert("Found barcode", barcodeAsText, "Finish");
}
catch (TaskCanceledException)
{
// for when the user cancels the action
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// for any other errors that occur
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
