Configuring an scanner intent on Android devices

Direct scanner integration can be accomplished with any devices having a scanner and supporting Android "Intents". Intents are a standard Android feature, but they must be supported by the manufacturer and scanning device. The use of Intents allows the Handheld WMS Solution to receive the entire scan as a single message instead of receiving it one character at a time as keyboard input.  To use Intents (even on a Zebra device), use the standard (Non-EMDK) version of the Android Handheld WMS interface.  To setup the Intent on the device, perform the following setups in the scanner (DataWedge on Zebra) setup on the device:

Note: any particular devices settings may be different from the following, please use this information as a guideline
