RFID Support about cordova-plugin-zebra-scanner-ios

[Shashank2406]

Hi @aaronbach ,

You are welcome, it seems Zebra has separate RFID SDK to read RFID-data, so it is not supported as of version 0.0.4 . I will be needing the scanner to work on it, will try to find one. Here is the link of the SDK
https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/software/developer-tools/zebra-rfid-sdk-for-ios.html

[aaronbach]

I understand. I am new to work with cordova Plugins and external SDKs. Do you think it is straight forward, to add this feature? Then I will do it. I have looked through your Source Code. Do you think it is better to create a fork, or try to implement both in your plugin?

Thanks

[Shashank2406]

I think it's better to create a fork and then integrate it. It is pretty straight if you have prior knowledge of iOS SDK implementation, rest is bridging that native code to cordova for which you can use my code. Let me know if you require any help.

Cheers!

[aaronbach]

Thanks a lot I will

[tloomis]

@Shashank2406 I am new to this how do I use your plugin with the SDK in ionic 4? We're using the Zebra RFD8500

[Shashank2406]

@tloomis you can install the plugin using the command ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-zebra-scanner-ios, then follow the steps mentioned in the readme. Let me know if you face any issue.
Cheers!

[tloomis]

Yes I have done that however when I do the code sample for finding devices it doesn’t find out rfd8500. Do you have other code examples to achieve this?

How are you trying to connect the device is the device connected via Bluetooth first? Which device are you using on?

[tloomis]

It is connect via Bluetooth on iPhone. When the code to check connected devices runs it returns no device found

Hi Shashank,

I create New Project In Ionic.

$ ionic start rfidtest blank
$ cd rfidtest
$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-bluetooth-serial
$ npm install @ionic-native/bluetooth-serial
$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-zebra-scanner-ios

Added in the app.module.ts

import { BluetoothSerial } from '@ionic-native/bluetooth-serial/ngx';
...
providers: [
...,
BluetoothSerial
],

In Home.page.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { BluetoothSerial } from '@ionic-native/bluetooth-serial';
import { Platform } from '@ionic/angular';

declare var window: any;

@component({
selector: 'app-home',
templateUrl: 'home.page.html',
styleUrls: ['home.page.scss'],
})

@Injectable()
export class HomePage {

scannerName: string = 'RFD8500';

constructor() {
document.addEventListener('zebra.barcodeData',
this.bluetoothDataRead.bind(this), false);

}

CheckDeviceConnected (): void {

alert(this.scannerName);
window.ZebraScanner
   .getAvailableScanners()
   .then((res) => {
      if (res.length) {
         res.filter(item => {
            if (String(item.name).toLowerCase().indexOf(this.scannerName) !== -1) { 
               //this.scannerID = item.scannerID;
               window.ZebraScanner.
                  establishCommunicationSession(item.scannerID)
                  .then(data => {
                     console.log("Device Connected")
                     alert("Connected");
                  }, error => {
                     console.log(error)
                  });
            }
         });
      } else {
         console.log("No Device Found")
         alert("Not Found");
      }
   });
 }

 bluetoothDataRead (event?): void {
  console.log("Read Success",event.detail.barcodeData);

}

}

In home.page.html

I Added this

<button ion-button (click)="CheckDeviceConnected ()">Button

I receive the error

Typeerror: cannot read property
'getavailablescanners' of undefined.

Please help on the issue

Thanks

Hi Anand,
Can you try debugging in the console? And see if you can access the window?

[tloomis]

I have also tried the above and it seems to be working however it doesn’t find the connected rfd8500 device. Returns Not Found. Todd Loomis

[Shashank2406]

Hi Todd,
I have not tested this plugin with RFD8500. It works well with Zebra CS3070 and CS4070. I will have to check if I can find an RFD8500 device to debug the issue.

[tloomis]

Thank you

[tloomis]

I was just retesting and noticed I am getting this error:

-[mot_LEConnectivityMgr getAvailableScannersList:] Failed to start requested manual discovery

[anandsamy81]

When i click scan button i received this error message.

@tloomis, @anandsamy81 - I checked and it turns out this package doesn't support RFD devices. Zebra has a separate SDK for RFD devices. I don't own any RFD device, so I won't be able to integrate it into this package.

[anandsamy81]

hi Shashank, Please send me your sample POC Code. Thanks Anand
