datawedge-MAUI-SampleApp

Showing how to integrate Zebra Datawedge barcode readings into an existing .NET MAUI App. DW is sending readings via broadcast Intents and needs a specific profile setup which is part of this solution.

Latest updates (Apr.2025)

v1.5 - Free-form Image Capture profiles are supported

• Refer to

  datawedge-MAUI-SampleApp/datawedge-MAUI-SampleApp/Platforms/Android/DWIntentReceiver.cs

  Line 133 in 155b927

  else if (intent.HasExtra("workflow_name") && intent.GetStringExtra("workflow_name").Equals("free_form_capture")) {

• This new code section detects and decodes intents sent by a free-form image capture workflow.

• Decoded barcode values are printed on the screen

• The related captured image is saved to disk

• Validated on TC58 BSP 14.20.14U160 - DW 15.0.16

• The APK for testing this feature is available here https://github.com/ZebraDevs/datawedge-MAUI-SampleApp/releases/download/v1.5/com.ndzl.dwmaui-freeformimagecapture-v1.5.apk

  Instructions for a brand new installation:

  • Install and run the APK
  • Push the “Import Profile” button. This creates an adhoc profile under DW
  • That profile scans single barcodes – doublecheck it works as such.
  • Then edit the com.ndzl.dwmaui profile:
    • Enable Workflows
    • Enable Freeform Image Capture
    • Ensure Decode&Highlight is selected.
  • Press the trigger button once to start the workflow session, aiming at the barcodes
  • Press the trigger again to capture the scene.
  • Decoded values are printed on the screen, the image is saved in the disk

v1.4 - Profile import

• A "Import Profile" button is now available. By default, Profile0 is the default profile. By pushing the Import Profile button, a specific, asset-predefined profile gets imported and associated to this app.

• Check it's working with the "DW Active Profile", to see the currently set default profile.

• If you make changes to the "com.ndzl.dwmaui" profile, remind that a new import will overwrite your changes.

• Code behind the "Import Profile" button is credit by Laurent Trudu - Thanks Laurent!

v1.3+ - raw_data support

• "com.symbol.datawedge.decode_data" field is now decoded and logged to logcat when available in the received intent
• refer to

  datawedge-MAUI-SampleApp/datawedge-MAUI-SampleApp/Platforms/Android/DWIntentReceiver.cs

  Line 45 in fce7faa

  var jual = _intent.Extras.Get("com.symbol.datawedge.decode_data");
