Barcode Scanning

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Ok boys, here’s one for you …

I need to scan a barcode & return the value. We have been doing some work with RedLaser and this is great as far as it goes.

You can trigger it, scan and get it to trigger a url with the result. The iPhone is locked to stop you calling an app from another app or website (to stop viruses & things trigger apps you don’t want it to).

RedLaser also has tools that allows you to integrate it with your own app, although this is done with C, not lua…

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Although you cannot call an app from another, you can register your app to respond to custom URL schemes. It might be useful to add that as a feature to the next Corona version—not that it provides an immediate solution to Gary’s problem :slight_smile:
