Counting scanned barcodes on Android

Overview

By default, the Barcode Scanner SDK's Multi Scanning mode counts each scanned barcode and creates a results sheet with entries for each unique barcode value.

There are two display modes for the results sheet: one with a collapsed list of scanned barcodes and one with just a toggle button that brings up the list.

The counting mode can be either COUNTING or UNIQUE. In COUNTING mode, the scanner scans barcodes with the same value again and counts the number of items. In the UNIQUE mode, the scanner only scans barcodes with unique values. If another barcode has the same value, it won't be scanned again.

In addition, the countingRepeatDelay can be used to set the time interval in milliseconds that must pass before counting a barcode again.
