Integrating a bluetooth barcode scanner to your UI5 app is very simple. Just pair it to your bluetooth enabled device, focus on the field you want the reader to output it's read data into and use the bt scanner.
The BT scanner is treated as an "external keyboard" by the mobile device. So after it reads the barcode it will just "type" it into the currently focused field. The bt device will also usually include a carriage return when it sends the data to your UI5 application.
If I understood correctly ｆrom your reply then I do not need to perform all the steps mentioned in those links to add barcode scanning in my app as it will work with BT scanner and will return data to the respective field in my APP.
Nope. Not unless you would like to use the integrated camera to do the scanning for you as well.
One thing though to note, it took me awhile to find why this was happening before, so I'm letting you know now to save you time finding out what's wrong, when you pair your BT scanner to Android, the operating system treats it as an external keyboard and disables the soft keyboard. To re-enable just go to settings -> keyboard and choose the keyboard after you pair the BT scanner.
