FunctionKey & BarCodeReader API in Mobile Web Dynpro

[Former Member]

Folks,

I am developing a few applications using Mobile Web Dynpro (Java), for PSION TEKNOLOGIK 7535. (Windows CE 5.0 with IE 6.0 for CE)

I have to use the API's of the Mobile Add-On Library, namely the FunctionKey API and the BarCodeReader API.

So the SAP Note says that these are supported only for Symbol and Intermec device.

I would like to know what options I have for this implementation

Can i use a Mobile WebDynpro Client? ( will these API's work if I use the WebDynpro client instead of IE?)

Can I use any other browsers instead of IE and use the above mentioned API's?

Are there any third party software's that support these functionality?

Thanks,

Balaji

Hi Balaji,

Unfortunately the only option you have is to use either a symbol or an Intermec device. Symbol and Itermec both have a special browser with which you can funtion keys or Barcode Reader.

I think "Mobile WebDynpro Client" you talk about is the offline client but the FunctionKey and the BarcodeReader will work with the online version only.

I dont know of any workaround for this.
