Hello Martin,  I think the "continuous scanning" code you are looking for is in the barcode sample app ( Barcode Sample1 )that is installed on you PC when you install the EMDK. Most of what you need is in the OnStatus method.  Give that a look and let me know if you have further questions.

@Override public void onStatus(StatusData statusData) { ScannerStates state = statusData.getState(); switch(state) { case IDLE: statusString = statusData.getFriendlyName()+" is enabled and idle..."; new AsyncStatusUpdate().execute(statusString); if (bContinuousMode) { try { // An attempt to use the scanner continuously and rapidly (with a delay < 100 ms between scans) // may cause the scanner to pause momentarily before resuming the scanning. // Hence add some delay (>= 100ms) before submitting the next read. try { Thread.sleep(100); } catch (InterruptedException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } scanner.read(); } catch (ScannerException e) { statusString = e.getMessage(); new AsyncStatusUpdate().execute(statusString); } } new AsyncUiControlUpdate().execute(true); break;
