Has anyone managed to get the BarcodeScanning plugin for PhoneGap to work on PhoneGap 1.7.0?
Barcode Scanning plugin: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/iOS/BarcodeScanner
The issues is that the plugin is not getting set when its added..
I get the following when I call "alert(window.plugins.barcodeScanner);"
"undefined"
I am trying to isolate the point where the plugin is failing to get added and will update the question once I know more..
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help...
Updated answer below:
Excellent,
The plugin now works again.
One issue is the documentation for the plugin still says the key in Cordova.plist
should be org.apache.cordova.barcodeScanner
but obvious thing now it should be com.cordova.barcodeScanner
.
OK so after a bit of poking around and using the twitter PhoneGap plugin as an example I managed to get it working!!
I used this as a basis for my approach because the lovely people at twitter updated their plugin to work with PhoneGap 1.7.0 thank god!!
Twitter PhoneGap Plugin: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/blob/master/iOS/Twitter/js/TwitterPlugin.js
Here is the updated barcodescanner.js code:
var BarcodeScanner = function(){};
BarcodeScanner.prototype.isBarcodeScannerAvailable = function(response){
cordova.exec(response, null, "BarcodeScannerPlugin", "isBarcodeScannerAvailable", []);
};
BarcodeScanner.prototype.isBarcodeScannerSetup = function(response){
cordova.exec(response, null, "BarcodeScannerPlugin", "isBarcodeScannerSetup", []);
};
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
BarcodeScanner.Encode = {
TEXT_TYPE: "TEXT_TYPE",
EMAIL_TYPE: "EMAIL_TYPE",
PHONE_TYPE: "PHONE_TYPE",
SMS_TYPE: "SMS_TYPE",
CONTACT_TYPE: "CONTACT_TYPE",
LOCATION_TYPE: "LOCATION_TYPE"
}
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
BarcodeScanner.prototype.scan = function(success, fail, options) {
function successWrapper(result) {
result.cancelled = (result.cancelled == 1)
success.call(null, result)
}
if (!fail) { fail = function() {}}
if (typeof fail != "function") {
console.log("BarcodeScanner.scan failure: failure parameter not a function")
return
}
if (typeof success != "function") {
fail("success callback parameter must be a function")
return
}
if ( null == options )
options = []
return PhoneGap.exec(successWrapper, fail, "com.cordova.barcodeScanner", "scan", options)
}
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
BarcodeScanner.prototype.encode = function(type, data, success, fail, options) {
if (!fail) { fail = function() {}}
if (typeof fail != "function") {
console.log("BarcodeScanner.scan failure: failure parameter not a function")
return
}
if (typeof success != "function") {
fail("success callback parameter must be a function")
return
}
return PhoneGap.exec(success, fail, "com.cordova.barcodeScanner", "encode", [{type: type, data: data, options: options}])
}
cordova.addConstructor(function() {
/* shim to work in 1.5 and 1.6 */
if (!window.Cordova) {
window.Cordova = cordova;
};
if(!window.plugins) window.plugins = {};
window.plugins.barcodeScanner = new BarcodeScanner();
});
i just added barcodescanner to cordova 2.3 - it's quite simple
after copying the necessary files you only need to add the following line to config.xml
<plugin name="org.apache.cordova.barcodeScanner" value="CDVBarcodeScanner" />
