I have an application in Xamarin.Forms and would like to use a built-in scanner in Sunmi L2 device to scan barcodes. Currently, I use a camera for scanning barcodes using Zxing, but I need to use the scanner because the camera is much slower for my case. Unfortunately, the documentation is only for Java, and I found this kind of app to be not popular in Xamarin.Forms. Is there any way to implement this functionality so that I could turn on the scanner from my own code without using any 3rd app and get the result within it because I have other processes related to the result?

    Most devices that have a built in laser scanner can deliver input to apps via a keyboard interface, so that they do not require any special APIs. I have no idea if this particular device works that way, but it should be easy to test. Alternately, you can write your own binding library for their Java API. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/android/platform/binding-java-library/ – Jason May 25 '21 at 20:42
  • Very nice idea, thanks a lot. If I won't find any other approach I will try this. – Miraziz May 25 '21 at 20:46
