1. Open your project on the Kuika Platform

• Log in to Kuika and select the relevant project from the Apps screen.

2. Create a Button in the UI Design Module

• In the UI Design screen, drag a Button element from the Elements panel on the left and drop it onto the application screen.
• Enter a label such as ‘Scan Barcode’ or ‘Scan QR Code’ in the Label property of the button.

3. Add the Scan Barcode Action

• Select the button and add the Device > Scan Barcode action from the + ADD ACTION menu according to the desired trigger event (Initial Actions, OnClick, OnBlur, etc.).

In a retail application, employees quickly update stock information by scanning product barcodes or QR codes. This reduces errors caused by manual data entry and increases processing speed.

Enabling Barcode Scanning

• Enter the UI Design module and drag a Button element from the left panel and drop it on the screen.
• Enter ‘Scan Barcode’ in the Label property of the button.
• Select the button and add the Initial Actions → Device → Scan Barcode action from the + ADD ACTION menu.

Post-Scan Data Processing

• When the user clicks the button, the device camera opens and barcode/QR code scanning begins.
• The scanned barcode or QR code data is matched with the relevant product in the application database.
• If product information is found, it is displayed on the screen and the user can perform operations such as updating stock.

• Code Type Filtering: Filters can be applied to scan only barcodes or only QR codes.
• Multiple Scanning: Supports scanning multiple barcodes in succession.
• Error Management: A notification message can be displayed to the user when an invalid code is read.
• Automatic Data Recording: The read data can be automatically filled in the relevant fields or a process can be triggered.

Technical Risks

• Camera Permission: The device must have permission to use the camera.
• Environmental Conditions: Poor lighting or dirty barcodes can make scanning difficult.
• Reading Speed: Reading may be delayed for complex or damaged codes.

The Scan Barcode action is an ideal tool for fast, practical and error-free data entry on the Kuika platform. You can easily integrate it into your application and enhance the user experience.
