Hello,
I have an HTML input mask. In one field I scan a barcode, in the other fields I enter individual values using the keyboard. How can I hide the keyboard in the barcode scan field? This always comes to the foreground when I click in this field. In the other fields I need the keyboard.
I have a Zebra MC220J with Android.
Do you have any idea?
Best regards,
Rasmo

Hi,
One solution for this would be to apply MX via our EMDK to temporarily disable the keyboard by replacing the active keyboard with something called a "null keyboard" (available on play or other sites) which would prevent any keyboard UI from showing. When you want to allow the user to have access to the keyboard, you would do the opposite and replace the active keyboard with a standard keyboard, like Google Keyboard etc...
We have a sample that demonstrates switching default keyboards here: https://github.com/darryncampbell/KeyboardSwitcher
Thanks. It looks to me that I can't use the code for my purposes. I need a solution for a web browser using HTML and Javascript.
Are there any ways to do this?
If you're using Enterprise Browser to run your web-app you could use the intent APIs to call into a native application which would do the keyboard swapping for you?
That sounds good. I just installed. Where can I get a license for this browser?
Are there any examples of APIs?
Thanks.
We have documentation for EB here: https://techdocs.zebra.com/enterprise-browser/3-3/guide/about/
There is a link to license info on the nav bar at the top of that page
