I am trying to scan ITF(2 of 5) / Code-2of5 Interleaved barcode using emdk for Xamarin but which not working in my application.
I believe the issue is something related to my configuration. But not sure what went wrong in my code. Please find the source code I am using for your reference.
# I am attaching the barcode which I am trying to scan for your reference.
# Also Please find the Full sample app, That may help you to debug.
Link to download the sample app.

Hi, it is not obvious from the EMDK for Xamarin sample (https://github.com/Zebra/samples-emdkforxamarin-3_0/blob/master/Barcode…) but if you take a look at the EMDK for Android sample (https://github.com/Zebra/samples-emdkforandroid-7_3/blob/master/Barcode…) you will see that the decoders are being set whilst the scanner is IDLE.  Please move your call to set the scanner config to just before your call to _scanner.read() and I2of5 should now be enabled
