Scan barcode and QR code directly in Glide into a field in a form

@yinon_raviv, great application, however the barcode reading feature is the only key feature that is missing now.

Have you had a chance to look at this?

Scandit works in iOS and Android and it works perfectly in Appsheet.com. If you enable something similar I can assure you that many people that runs clouded spreadsheets for logistics or retail will jump to you. Your implementation its really clean and easy to use. Please consider add Barcode reading. Thanks

How would you install this to glide and send the data to the right row in the sheet? Could you use it in a form? So the captured data will be saved with the form submission?

nice. Would their keyboard wedge work here? https://www.scandit.com/products/keyboard-wedge/

I agree with @John_Empleado this would be a very useful addition to this platform. I use it on Appsheets as well to scan items collected in the field that require weights to be added when they are returned to my shop. I simply scan the barcode and the app goes straight to the right screen so I can add weights and receive them.
I’m intrigued by Glide but would not consider it unless the barcode feature is built in and available for form fields.
Seems like a great product at first glance.

Tks

All documentation is right there in the link of my post.

And the best way to know how this works is to try http://appsheet.com/.

You not need to install anything additional, it works directly from the form in Android or iOS

Thanks

Take a look…

I have some concern over the security of 3rd party keyboards… there are reasons why those keyboard are available for free, one of them could be to record whatever keys u entered via the keyboard which may include ur cofidential information…
Wish that Glide team can add the QR feature really soon…

I would like to mention a similar topic. If you want to create a QR CODE from text you can use the Google API

The space,Enters all that i am not sure about so your going to have to do your research.

Any text you put will generate a QR when scanning.Hope this helps someone.

@Mark @Jason @George-Glide @eltintero I have tested it, but when I scanned a barcode and it brings me the value, I did a relation to search which product I was searching for. In the glide builder showed up the product in real time, but in my phone it wasnt there

I was going to try to play it, but I reached the free limit of the app lol, maybe I have to create another app to show :grin:

@Lucas_Pires how many scans will your use case need?

I was only testing this new feature @Krivo when it happens

Duplicate the app and try again😜
