DataWedge Configuration

Programming Notes
The following paragraphs provide specific programming information when using DataWedge.
Overriding Trigger Key in an Application
To override the trigger key in an application, create a profile for the application that disables the Barcode input. In
the application, use standard APIs, such as onKeyDown() to listen for the KEYCODE_BUTTON_L1 and
KEYCODE_BUTTON_R1 presses.
Capture Data and Taking a Photo in the Same Application
To be able to capture bar code data and take a photo in the same application:
• Create a Datawedge profile pertaining to the picture taking Activity in your application that disables
scanning and use standard Android SDK APIs to control the Camera.
• The default Datawedge profile takes care of the scanning in the application. You might want to create
another DataWedge profile that caters to any specific scanning needs, associated to your Application's
Activity pertaining to scanning.

differences between the originating (source) database and the target (destination) device. This allows
administrators to easily identify differences and make adjustments to compensate for disparities in hardware or
software capabilities from one device to another. Reports always use the destination device as the basis against
which to compare incoming settings files.
