.NET MAUI Barcode Scanner

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.

public static async Task StartSingleScanningAsync()
{
    // Create the default configuration object.
    var config = new BarcodeScannerScreenConfiguration();

    // Create single scanning mode.
    var useCase = new SingleScanningMode();

    // Enable and configure the confirmation sheet.
    useCase.ConfirmationSheetEnabled = true;

    // Configure other parameters, pertaining to single-scanning mode as needed.
    config.UseCase = useCase;

    // create barcode format configurations
    var barcodeFormatConfiguration = new BarcodeFormatCommonConfiguration
    {
        // Set an array of accepted barcode types.
        Formats = BarcodeTypes.Instance.AcceptedTypes,
        // Set an array of accepted barcode types.
        Gs1Handling = Gs1Handling.DecodeStructure
    };

    // Set an array of barcode format configurations
    config.ScannerConfiguration.BarcodeFormatConfigurations = [barcodeFormatConfiguration];
    
    // Enable return of barcode image.
    config.ScannerConfiguration.ReturnBarcodeImage = true;

    // Launch the barcode scanner.
    var rtuResult = await ScanbotSDKMain.Barcode.StartScannerAsync(configuration: config);

    // Comment out the above and use the below to try some of our snippets instead:
    // var rtuResult = await ScanbotSDKMain.Barcode.StartScannerAsync(Snippets.SingleScanningUseCase);
    // Or Snippets.MultipleScanningUseCase, Snippets.FindAndPickUseCase, Snippets.ActionBar, etc.
    
    // The scanner was canceled.
    if (rtuResult.IsCanceled)
    {
        return;
    }

    // The scanning was failed
    if (!rtuResult.IsSuccess && rtuResult.Error != null)
    {
        await Alert.ShowAsync(rtuResult.Error);
        return;
    }

    // The scanning was success
    if (rtuResult.IsSuccess)
    {
        await CommonUtils.DisplayResultAsync(rtuResult.Value);
    }
}
