Getting Started with Scanbot Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms Barcode Scanners
Scanbot Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms Barcode Scanner SDKs are available as NuGet packages. You can easily integrate Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms Barcode Scanner into your app.
Getting Started with Scanbot Xamarin.Forms Barcode Scanner
You can start integrating the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK for cross-platform app development with Xamarin.Forms for both Android and iOS as below:
var configuration = new BarcodeScannerConfiguration(); BarcodeResultBundle result = await SBSDK.Scanner.Open(configuration);
You can configure the 1D and 2D barcode types that you want to recognize:
configuration.AcceptedFormats = new List { BarcodeFormat.Aztec, BarcodeFormat.Codabar, BarcodeFormat.Code128, BarcodeFormat.Code39, BarcodeFormat.Code93, BarcodeFormat.DataMatrix, BarcodeFormat.Ean13, BarcodeFormat.Ean8, BarcodeFormat.Itf, BarcodeFormat.Pdf417, BarcodeFormat.QrCode, BarcodeFormat.Rss14, BarcodeFormat.RssExpanded, BarcodeFormat.Unknown, BarcodeFormat.UpcA, BarcodeFormat.UpcE, BarcodeFormat.MsiPlessey };
Also, you can customize the UI style of your Xamarin and Xamarin.Forms Barcode Scanners like below:
configuration.FinderWidth = 300; configuration.FinderHeight = 200; configuration.FlashEnabled = true; configuration.TopBarBackgroundColor = Color.Accent; configuration.FinderTextHint = "Custom hint text..."; // further configurations...
Getting Started with Scanbot Xamarin Barcode Scanner
You can start integrating the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK for native app development with Xamarin for both Android and iOS as below:
Xamarin Android:
var configuration = new BarcodeScannerConfiguration(); var intent = BarcodeScannerActivity.NewIntent(this, configuration); StartActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
Xamarin iOS:
var configuration = SBSDKUIBarcodeScannerConfiguration.DefaultConfiguration; BarcodeResultReceiver receiver = new BarcodeResultReceiver(); SBSDKUIBarcodeScannerViewController.PresentOn(this, acceptedBarcodeTypes, configuration, receiver);
You can check our Xamarin documentation for further information on customization and configuration.
