Hello All, 

We are working on one of our client requirement to have a barcode scanning fucntionlity on Salesforce1.
Requirement reads as, on One Custom object we got barcode image and barcode number.
We need a search functionality where User may click an image of barcode or provide the same from the application tray from mobile and based on barcode scan, it will search for available barcode records if any and returns the same.

Would appriciate your help on this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Sagar,

Thanks for the quick reply.
We already used the same blog as reference point.
It is working great on Salesforce desktop version as well as Mobile Browser version but shows "Still Working" Alert on Salesforce1 app.

Are you trying this on Android or iOS (this does not work on Android 4.4 due to a known issue)? Please also confirm if you are using the latest version of Salesforce1 app?

If the problem still persists, please share your code snippet and I'll be happy to help further.

Hello Gaurav, 

Thanks for the reply.
We tried the solution on both Andriod as well as iOS.
We are aware of 4.4 Kitkat issue thus tried the solution on lower version i.e. 4.2 ICS but still no success.
As far as iOS, we tried out the solution on ipad Air having iOS 8, no success theirs too.

We used the following solution to implement this.

I tried implementing a browser based scanning solutions in Salesforce1. But performance suffers.

Ended up using "Barcode to Cloud" app to scan and send barcode data to Salesforce.

"Barcode to Cloud (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.albertdev.barcodetocloud)" app allows to scan and send data to Salesforce and execute configurable actions in Salesforce - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.albertdev.barcodetocloud
