Android : Shopsavvy - Does This Actually Scan Barcodes For Anyone?
Sep 3, 2010
This program worked great the first week I had it, but now it will never scan barcodes. It will scan maybe 1 out of every 10 barcodes. Is this normal? It's not scanning them and then telling me the product isn't found, it just won't scan them and sits on "Scanning barcodes, please wait." And I see tjhe little green dots running up and down the bars. I'm holding my hand as still as possible, focusing on the barcodes, and even try moving the camera in and out. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled it on my Droid X. What could be the problem?

I was wondering if anyone knows of an app that would allow me to scan barcodes of products at home and this becomes my shopping list? It would be nice if when i use the last of something i just scan it and through it away.

Just got a new G1, and I've heard so much about ShopSavvy, but when I searched the market, I have been unable to find it. It's still showing up on Android's web site, and BigInJapan has a download link to it, but I'm at work so that won't work for me right now.Anyone else noticed this?

I want to have prompt in my language, how should i do that?

DL 2 different scanners, barcode scanner and shopsavvy. Neither one works worth a darned. Have tried different items usually common ones i.e. a case of Mtn. Dew. It chokes and says it can't find a retailer. Seriously?! If it can't find even a simple case of pop which hundreds of retailers have, that's pathetic!! Has anyone found a real BC app that has actual products and works?

Can't find this via a search, but am looking for opinions on any apps that will use the camera to get and image, and then create a pdf. I am not looking to do this on pictures, but rather on pages of text. I guess I can always just email a photo, but would rather it be a pdf.
I looked in the market, and found a few, all cost $, so I am writing to see if anyone will post their experience with any of these prior to me shelling out the bucks.

Is it possible to develop an application which can have a read access to all the files of the phone. We plan to develop an antivirus application. I know that APK applications have for example a limited access to the /data directory.

I'm trying to scan for wireless networks and found this helpful source on the net. Unfortunately it's not working and I have no idea why. My problem is that I can't wait 10 minutes for the result - I need them within a few seconds and thought about setting the boolean variable waiting on false as soon as I get a result, well it runs forever. Looks like nothing is received.
// -- Sample WiFi implementation - http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/f722d5f90cfae69 IntentFilter i = new IntentFilter();
i.addAction(WifiManager.SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION);
registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver(){
@Override public void onReceive(Context c, Intent i){
// Code to execute when SCAN_RESULTS_AVAILABLE_ACTION event occurs
mWifiManager = (WifiManager) c.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
wireless = mWifiManager.getScanResults(); // Returns a <list> of scanResults
waiting = false;
} } ,i);
// -- End Wifi Sample mWifiManager.startScan();
while (waiting) { try { Thread.sleep(200);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace();
} Log.d("PROJECT1","Wifi WAITING");
}

I am building an indoor application which continuously scans the bluetooth dongles located at different locations in a place like a mall or library.As I move in the mall with android phone in my hand I should be able to get the nearest dongle which I can connect to(Stupid Idea but I want to do something else with this).For this I should be able to continuously scan for the bluetooth devices.

This application allows you to scan a Sudoku puzzle with the camera and then solve the puzzle instantly. Free download on Android Market. Major update coming soon with game play. Version 1.2.2 just released. This aims to resolve a problem with the camera preview on the Nexus One and Droid. Screenshots at Sudoku Capture.

Anyone know if there is a way to use my phone to scan a bar-code to my laptop using USB link?
Would be useful for me in work to be able to quickly scan a bunch of codes straight into a spreadsheet. Couldn't find anything to do this myself.

I am often using my Android browser when I come across a QR code. Is there any way to scan the QR code from within the browser? It seems absurd that I then have load that page on another monitor and then scan that monitor with goggles are barcode reader...

I'm looking for an app that will scan and catagorise receipts. If possible it would be nice if it could integrate that information with some kind of finance program so that it would show where money is going and make taxes easier

I am programming for google android and I wonder if the scans for wireless 802.11 networks are done passively or actively? I mean: Does the device actually emit a beacon request signal on
WifiManager.startScan()
Or does it just listen for beacons sent periodically by the access points?

I wrote an android application to request a scan for available WiFi signals around, using the WifiManager, then dump the results to a file. The program works fine, but this weird bug occurs. Initially I was requesting a scan every 30 seconds, and everything worked fine. I then tried to request a scan every two seconds, I get this strange bug. Everything will work fine for a few minutes, then the time between two scan requests jumps from 2 seconds to 50 seconds for no reason.
Then, for four more scans, it will scan at 2-second intervals, then skip to a 50-second interval, and it continues to do this consistently. With larger time intervals this bug does not appear. Has anyone experienced this bug before? Is there a way to prevent it? Or does Android automatically cancel scan requests if they are too frequent?

I cook a full meal for my family every night. And I do all the shopping. So this brings me to the desire for an...app for that. What I'm looking for is an app where I can scan the groceries as they come into the house, and it makes up a weekly menu for me from that. Hmm, not sure where the recipes would come from. Anyway, anyone have any ideas? Now that I've written it out, it seems like a tall order!

I am currently trying to write a class in Android that will Scan for access points, calculate which access point has the best signal and then connect to that access point. So the application will be able to scan on the move and attach to new access points on the go. I have the scanning and calculation of the best signal working. But when it comes to attaching to the best access point I am having trouble. It appears that enableNetwork(netid, othersTrueFalse) is the only method for attaching to an Access point but this causes problems as from my Scan Results I am not able to get the id of the access point with the strongest signal.
This is my code:
---
public void doWifiScan(){ scanTask = new TimerTask() { public void run() { handler.post(new Runnable() { public void run() { sResults = wifiManager.scan(getBaseContext());
if(sResults!=null) Log.d("TIMER", "sResults count" + sResults.size());
ScanResult scan = wifiManager.calculateBestAP(sResults);
wifiManager.addNewAccessPoint(scan); } }); }};
t.schedule(scanTask, 3000, 30000); }
---
public ScanResult calculateBestAP(List<ScanResult> sResults){ ScanResult bestSignal = null;
for (ScanResult result : sResults) { if (bestSignal == null || WifiManager.compareSignalLevel(bestSignal.level, result.level) < 0) bestSignal = result;
} String message = String.format("%s networks found. %s is the strongest. %s is the bsid", sResults.size(), bestSignal.SSID, bestSignal.BSSID);
Log.d("sResult", message); return bestSignal; }
---
public void addNewAccessPoint(ScanResult scanResult){ WifiConfiguration wc = new WifiConfiguration();
wc.SSID = '"' + scanResult.SSID + '"';
//wc.preSharedKey = ""password""; wc.hiddenSSID = true;
wc.status = WifiConfiguration.Status.ENABLED;
wc.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.TKIP);
wc.allowedGroupCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.GroupCipher.CCMP);
wc.allowedKeyManagement.set(WifiConfiguration.KeyMgmt.WPA_PSK);
wc.allowedPairwiseCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.TKIP);
wc.allowedPairwiseCiphers.set(WifiConfiguration.PairwiseCipher.CCMP);
wc.allowedProtocols.set(WifiConfiguration.Protocol.RSN);
int res = mainWifi.addNetwork(wc);
Log.d("WifiPreference", "add Network returned " + res );
boolean b = mainWifi.enableNetwork(res, false);
Log.d("WifiPreference", "enableNetwork returned " + b );
}
---
When I try to use addNewAccessPoint(ScanResult scanResult) it just adds another AP to the list in the settings application with the same name as the one with the best signal, so I end up with loads of duplicates and not actually attaching to them. Can anyone point me in the direction of a better solution?

I'm looking for a shopping list that will add an item when I scan a barcode, or enter it in manually, then assign a quantity.. That's really all I'm looking for. I tried Price Book from the market, but all the info it wanted in addition to the barcode was a little overwhelming (unless I missed something about it). Any suggestions?

I am currently doing my Bachelor Project concerning Android Programming.
Therefore i need a possibility to SCAN/DISCOVER Hot-Spots or WLAN's where i can connect to.
In many topics i have read, that the EMULATOR does NOT support WiFi scan with WiFiManager. I also tried using ConnectivityManager or BroadcastReceiver. But it doesn't ever work.
So my question ist the following - is it CORRECT that the emulator does not support any kind of WLAN Scan/Discovery? I need as many comments on this as possible - because only if its REALLY true, that the emulator does not provide WIFI functioanlity, then i can ask for buying a Dev Phone.
And if so, WHY there is no WiFi support within the emulator...?

Is anyone aware of a wallet app that uses the phone's camera to scan cards for backup? i don't really relish the idea of manually entering all my card nos. and info when the camera scanner function works so well recognizing business cards.
you know, I'd like to slap my credit card on the table, open the app and scan the card. the app should recognize the cc logo (mc, visa, discover, etc), card no., exp. date and prompt me for the verification no. on the back.
the app should be able to recognize most of the card types that people typically keep in the wallets: drivers license, library card, health ins, auto ins., loyalty cards. for those that it doesn't recognize by scan, the user should be able to select from a list or enter a "custom" type.
i haven't found anything like this. does one exist?
