I am using an online based inventory tracking system called Tracmor. I'm wondering if there's an app for Iphone or some feature that allows you to scan barcodes from your iphone keyboard. The way I am able to input data inventory data into tracmor is by selecting the field in the Tracmor online portal, which pulls up the iphone keyboard. Ideally, I would like to scan the bar code from this point for the field. I know this is possible for android, but I have not found the solution for iphone. I am currently using an Iphone6.
Thank you,
Maya
I am using BarcodeKey from the app store - it works like a keyboard. it seems to work well for our use - scanning barcode data into a web form/field.
My name is Noah and I am a support engineer with Tracmor.
I wanted to let you know that there is an iPhone app that will support scanning barcodes into Tracmor.
Please see the app called "Barcode Scan to Web" By Berry Wing LLC in the iTunes store for more information.
With this app you will be able to scan bar codes with the camera on your iPhone directly into the text fields in Tracmor for items such as asset tags, locations, and users.

I have a barcode scanner which automatically outputs the barcode into whichever app you have open in the USB attached windows PC, if it can handle it. For example if I have chrome open, I click the address bar and then scan it outputs to there. Similarly if I click on a website textarea and then scan it'll dump it in there.
I have a simple flutter application which I simply want to detect the scan receival. I don't care how, but I don't even know what exactly to search for to get my answer. My aim is to have a windows app in flutter, which when I scan a barcode it receives this, displays the product details in the flutter screen (aka needs an API call straight after getting the scan). Any help on even what topic to search for will help, cheers.
Barcode scanner: Symcode MJ-340 Automatic Desktop USB Wired Barcode Scanner.
After a lot of trial and error I worked out that a common way to interact for barcodes through USB to apps is via the USB HID aka keyboard presses. By wrapping the app around a RawkeyboardListener with autofocus true, you can filter via RawKeyUpEvent (or down) and then simply set the state.
In my case, it always ended with an enter key to detect the end of a code.
I am trying to build a Asset Manager. I am using a scanner or a mobile device to scan the barcode which is the asset id. My requirement is as follows:
1) When the scanner scans for the first time the data(purchase date, cost, assigned to , history) should be allowed to be entered and the data should be stored in the google spreadsheet.
2) When the product or the item is already present it should display me the result(purchase date, cost, assigned to , history).
It would be a great help if i get a clue on what could be done.
Thanks in advance.

Things you may consider:
What protocal to use to interface with the device. For example, I would recommend TWAIN for scanners.
What's your app type? Is it a web one that you can do scanning from browsers? Then you can choose the according scanning SDK for your project.
Store data to Google Spreadsheet. This post might help.
I have created a QR Code which displays a map of our mountain bike trails. First off I'm not an Apple guy, so I'm not sure what needs to be done to make this cross platform Android and Apple. The QR Code works correctly on Android. When scanned it opens up the kml file in Google Maps and displays the map and your GPS location.
When I scan this with an iPhone is displays the map and asks if you would like to accept sharing your current location. I accept it but it won't display my location. Is there something I need to do to make it work on Android and Apple, or any other suggestions. A little frustrating. As I look at the logs majority of the users what scan the code are iphones so I need to get it to work on them.
Update: here is a screenshot of the iPhone.
It should also have your gps location like this
Thanks for the help!
On Android, the default Google Maps behavior appears to be to show to the current location up front.
On iOS, however, it seems that Google Maps decides that the user can hit the location button if they want thier current location.
As far as I'm concerned, I side with Google.
Also, it could be that you need to try some different QR scanners - some might automatically show the location, some might decide to conserved resources instead.
P.S. To take a screenshot on iPhone, press the lock and home buttons at the same time :)
I am currently in development of an app that keeps track of physical inventory. I am wondering if there is some way that I could possibly use QR Codes or some kind of barcode to scan an item and then have the app recognize the item and pull up the info for the item quickly and efficiently. If anyone has a better or more ideas to solve this then please by all means pitch in I am trying to make a better/easier UI for the user.
You have some options here:
iPhone 3GS/4, iPod touch -> Linea Barcode Scanner(they have their own SDK) by Infinite Peripherals that has magnetic card reader as well. Apple uses these external Accessory for iPod touches in their stores, if you happen to go to Apple Store you can see these their associates carry them. Very reliable option. Costs about $300 ~ 500 a piece.(Nordstorm, Sears, Kmart use them as well).
Verifone sells similar accessory but they aren't as popular as Infinite Peripheral barcode scanners.
Or Reading QR/Barcode using camera is really simple and fast. You can either use ZXing,Zbar sdk to scan barcode and based upon successful scan you can lookup inventory if you have a webservice available. These are free SDK's. Zbar is really fast, I would recommend using Zbar. You have some paid barcode scanners using camera as well like RedLaser.
To manage inventory have your webservices ready, you need to pull information like description, price about item and display in tableview cell. Better UI depends on your requirements and what kind of data you want to show. What you want to do with inventory. So many questions before I can jump to conclusion that this UI looks better.
You can look at shopsavvy api that pulls up item information based on barcode from their database. Paid service though.
I live in Canada, so am fortunate that I can tether. One issue is that to toggle tethering, you need to drill down four screens in Settings, which is just a big hassle.
A Google search returned nothing, so I was wondering if anyone here knew the code to turn on/off tethering?
I know there's a toggle for SBSettings, but I do not have a jailbroken phone, I just want to create an app I build onto my phone and have an icon for quickly toggling it.
Thanks
You cannot alter phone settings from within an application using any APIs allowed by the iPhone SDK. As you point out - there is an SBSettings toggle - which relies on a Private API (which you agree not to use when you get the iPhone SDK from Apple, incidentally).
There is a file located in the Preferences folder, along with the com.apple.SpringBoard.plist:
/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MobileInternetSharing.plist
In that file, you will want to set 1023 for key State to enable the Tethering feature. To disable the feature, you will want to set 1022 for key State.
This action is only possible on a jailbroken device
