Introduction | Android Barcode Scanner

The Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK for Android brings Barcode Scanning features to your Android app.

With our Ready-To-Use UI Components (RTU UI), you can integrate our SDK's scanning functionalities with only a few lines of code. This way, you can benefit from tried-and-true UX design and straightforward integration while still being able to customize the visual appearance to match your brand. Or you can dive into our Classic Components and build a fully customized scanning experience yourself.

Requirements

Operating system

  • Android 5.0 (API Level 21) and higher
  • HarmonyOS 2.0 and higher

Hardware

No internet connection required

The Scanbot SDK works completely offline. It does not even contain any networking code. This can easily be verified by routing all networking traffic coming from the app through a proxy. All data generated by the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK is stored only on the end user's device and is never transferred to any server or cloud service controlled by us. If desired, you as the customer will need to handle uploading the scans/data to your backend.

Simulators / emulators

While it is possible to test your app with the Scanbot SDK on simulators/emulators, we strongly recommend using real iOS/Android devices.

Depending on the emulated camera, you may not be able to test/evaluate the full functionality of the Scanbot SDK.
