DataWedge
Introduction
This chapter applies to DataWedge on Android devices. DataWedge is an application that reads data, processes the data and sends the data to an application.
Basic Scanning
To capture bar code data:
1. Ensure that an application is open on the device and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).
2. Aim the exit window at a bar code.
3. Press and hold the a Scan button. The red aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure that the bar code is within the area formed by the aiming pattern.
Figure 75 TC25 Data Capture
4. The Data Capture LED lights green, a beep sounds and the device vibrates, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully. The captured data appears in the text field.
Profiles
DataWedge is based on profiles and plug-ins. A profile contains information on how DataWedge should behave with different applications.
62
DataWedge
Profile information consists of:
• Associated application
• Input plug-in configurations
• Output plug-in configurations
• Process plug-in configurations.
Using profiles, each application can have a specific DataWedge configuration. For example, each user application can have a profile which outputs scanned data in the required format when that application comes to the foreground. DataWedge can be configured to process the same set of captured data differently based on the requirements of each application.
DataWedge includes the following pre-configured profiles which support specific built-in applications:
• Visible profiles:
• Profile0 - created automatically the first time DataWedge runs. Generic profile used when there are no user created profiles associated with an application.
• Launcher - enables scanning when the Launcher is in foreground.
• DWDemo - provides support for the DWDemo application.
Some Zebra applications are capable of capturing data by scanning. DataWedge is pre-loaded with private and hidden profiles for this purpose. There is no option to modify the private profiles.
Profile0
Profile0 can be edited but cannot be associated with an application. That is, DataWedge allows manipulation of plug-in settings for Profile0 but it does not allow assignment of a foreground application. This configuration allows DataWedge to send output data to any foreground application other than applications associated with user-defined profiles when Profile0 is enabled.
Profile0 can be disabled to allow DataWedge to only send output data to those applications which are associated in user-defined profiles. For example, create a profile associating a specific application, disable
Profile0 and then scan. DataWedge only sends data to the application specified in the user-created profile.
This adds additional security to DataWedge enabling the sending of data only to specified applications.
Plug-ins
A plug-in is a software module utilized in DataWedge to extend its functionality to encompass technologies such as barcode scanning. The plug-ins can be categorized into three types based on their operations:
• Input Plug-ins
• Output Plug-ins
• Process Plug-ins.
Input Plug-ins
An Input Plug-in supports an input device, such as a barcode scanner contained in, or attached to the device.
DataWedge contains base plug-ins for these input devices.
Barcode Scanner Input Plug-in – The Barcode Scanner Input Plug-in is responsible for reading data from the integrated barcode scanner and supports different types of barcode readers including laser, imager and internal camera. Raw data read from the barcode scanner can be processed or formatted using Process
63
DataWedge
Plug-ins as required. DataWedge has built-in feedback functionality for the barcode scanner to issue user alerts. The feedback settings can be configured according to user requirement.
Process Plug-ins
Process Plug-ins are used in DataWedge to manipulate the received data according to the requirement, before sending to the foreground application via the Output Plug-in.
• Basic Data Formatting Process Plug-in – The Basic Data Formatting Plug-in allows DataWedge to add a prefix and/or a suffix to the captured data before passing it to an Output Plug-in.
• Advanced Data Formatting Process Plug-in – The Advanced Data Formatting Plug-in allows
DataWedge to apply rules (actions to be performed based on defined criteria) to the data received via an input plug-in before passing it to an Output Plug-in.
Output Plug-ins
Output Plug-ins are responsible for sending the data from Input Plug-ins to a foreground application on the device.
• Keystroke Output Plug-in – The Keystroke Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input
Plug-in to the foreground applications by emulating keystrokes.
• Intent Output Plug-in – The Intent Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug-ins to foreground applications using the Android Intent mechanism.
• IP Output Plug-in – The IP Output Plug-in collects and sends data received from the Input Plug-ins to a host computer via a network connection. Captured data can be sent over an IP network to a specified IP address and port using either TCP or UDP transport protocols.
Profiles Screen
To launch DataWedge, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and touch . By default, the following profiles appear:
• Profile0

Scanner Selection
•
Configures which scanning device to use for barcode data capture when the profile is active. For Bluetooth scanners, if the device was not previously paired, a pairing barcode displays prior to automatic connection.
Auto Switch to Default on Event
This feature configures DataWedge to select an external scanner as the default scanning device immediately upon connection and revert to a built-in scanner when the external scanner is disconnected. External scanners include those connecting by Bluetooth, serial cable or snap-on module. Disabled by default. This is only available when Scanner Selection is set to Auto .
This helps reduce scanning workflow interruptions when a Bluetooth scanner is introduced and/or it becomes disconnected due to losing power or moving out of range.
• Disabled - No scanner switching occurs when an external scanner is connected or disconnected (default).
• On connect - Selects the external scanner as the default scanning device immediately upon connection.
• On disconnect - Reverts to a built-in scanner based on its position in an internally managed scanner list
(which varies by host device). This is usually the scanner most recently used prior to the external connection (see notes below).
71
DataWedge
• On connect/disconnect - Selects an external scanner as the default scanning device immediately upon connection. Upon disconnection, reverts to the scanner set as the default prior to the external connection.
NOTE : The system selects the default scanner based on the connection state and the scanner's position in an internally managed scanner list. If the newly connected scanner is lower in the scanner list than the one currently selected as the de fault scanner, the newly connected scanner becomes the default scanner.
On devices with only one built-in scanner or imager, On disconnect reverts to that built-in scanner or imager.
Decoders

Intent Overview
The core components of an Android application (its activities, services, and broadcast receivers) are activated by intents. An intent is a bundle of information (an Intent object) describing a desired action - including the data to be acted upon, the category of component that should perform the action, and other pertinent instructions.
Android locates an appropriate component to respond to the intent, launches a new instance of the component if one is needed, and passes it the Intent object.
Components advertise their capabilities, the kinds of intents they can respond to, through intent filters. Since the system must learn which intents a component can handle before it launches the component, intent filters are specified in the manifest as <intent-filter>elements. A component may have any number of filters, each one describing a different capability. For example, if the manifest contains the following:
<intent-filter . . . >
<action android:name=”android.intent.action.DEFAULT” />
<category android:name=”android.intent.category.MAIN” />
</intent-filter>
In the Intent output plug-in configuration, the Intent action would be: android.intent.action.DEFAULT
and the Intent category would be: android.intent.category.MAIN
.
The Intent delivery option allows the method by which the intent is delivered to be specified. The delivery mechanisms are Send via startActivity , Send via startService or Broadcast intent .
The decode related data added to the Intent’s bundle can be retrieved using the Intent.getStringExtra() and Intent.getSerializableExtra() calls, using the following String tags:
• String LABEL_TYPE_TAG = “com.symbol.emdk.datawedge.label_type”;
• String contains the label type of the barcode.
89
DataWedge
• String DATA_STRING_TAG = “com.symbol.datawedge.data_string”;
• String contains the output data as a String. In the case of concatenated barcodes, the decode data is concatenated and sent out as a single string.
• String DECODE_DATA_TAG = “com.symbol.datawedge.decode_data”;
• Decode data is returned as a list of byte arrays. In most cases there will be one byte array per decode.
For barcode symbologies that support concatenation, for example, Codabar, Code128, MicroPDF, etc., the decoded data is stored in multiple byte arrays (one byte array per barcode). Clients can get data in each byte array by passing an index.
Most scanning applications might want the user to be able to decode data and for that decode data to be sent to the *current* activity but not necessarily displayed. If this is the case, then the activity needs to be marked as ‘singleTop’ in its AndroidManifest.xml file. If your activity is not defined as singleTop, then on every decode, the system will create another copy of your Activity and send the decode data to this second copy.
Finally there will be a configuration option for each process plug-in so that the process plug-in can be configured specifically for the intent output, which in this case is the basic data formatting process plug-in.

Generating Advanced Data Formatting Rules
The ADF plug-in applies rules (actions to be performed based on defined criteria) to the data received via an input plug-in before sending it to the output plug-in.
• Rules - The ADF process plug-in consists of one or more rules. DataWedge formats the output data according to the first matching rule. A rule is a combination of criteria and a set of actions to be performed, upon fulfillment of the criteria set in the rule.
• Criteria - Criteria can be set according to Input plug-in, symbology, matching string within the data (at the specified position) and/or data length. Received data must match the defined criteria in order for the data to be processed.
• Actions - A set of procedures defined to format data. There are four types of actions which are for formatting cursor movement, data modification, data sending and delay specifications. An action can be defined to send the first number of characters to the Output plug-in, pad the output data with spaces or zeros, remove spaces in data, etc.

On-device Storage. The configuration file created is automatically named datawedge.db. The profile file created is automatically named dwprofile_x.db, where x is the profile name. The files can then the copied to the
On-device Storage of other devices and imported into DataWedge on those devices. Importing a configuration or profile replaces the existing settings.
Enterprise Folder
Internal storage contains the Enterprise folder ( /enterprise ). The Enterprise folder is persistent and maintains data after an Enterprise reset. After an Enterprise Reset, DataWedge checks folder
/enterprise/device/settings/datawedge/enterprisereset/ for a configuration file, datawedge.db or a profile file, dwprofile_x.db. If the file is found, it imports the file to replace any existing configuration or profile.
NOTE : A Factory Reset deletes all files in the Enterprise folder.
Auto Import
DataWedge supports remote deployment of a configuration to a device, using tools such as commercially available third-party Mobile Device Management (MDM) systems. DataWedge monitors the
/enterprise/device/settings/datawedge/autoimport folder for the DataWedge configuration file
(datawedge.db) or a profile file (dwprofile_x.db). If a configuration or profile file is found, it imports the file to replace any existing configuration or profile. Once the file has been imported it is deleted from the folder.
DataWedge begins using the imported configuration immediately.
102
DataWedge
NOTE : A Factory Reset deletes all files in the /enterprise folder.
It is strongly recommended that the user exits DataWedge before remotely deploying any configuration or profile. It is required that the file permissions are set to 666.
The /enterprise folder cannot be seen with Files app or other user-level tools. Moving configuration files to and from the
/autoimport or /enterprisereset folders must be done programmatically, or with a staging client app or MDM.
Programming Notes
The following paragraphs provide specific programming information when using DataWedge.
Overriding Trigger Key in an Application
To override the trigger key in an application, create a profile for the application that disables the Barcode input.
In the application, use standard APIs, such as onKeyDown() to listen for the KEYCODE_BUTTON_L1 and
KEYCODE_BUTTON_R1 presses.
Capture Data and Taking a Photo in the Same Application
To be able to capture bar code data and take a photo in the same application:
• Create a Datawedge profile pertaining to the picture taking Activity in your application that disables scanning and use standard Android SDK APIs to control the Camera.
• The default Datawedge profile takes care of the scanning in the application. You might want to create another DataWedge profile that caters to any specific scanning needs, associated to your Application's
Activity pertaining to scanning.
Disabling DataWedge
1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and touch .
2. Touch .
3. Touch Settings .
4. Touch DataWedge enabled .
The blue check disappears from the checkbox indicating that DataWedge is disabled.
Soft Scan Trigger
DataWedge allows a native Android application to programmatically start, stop, or toggle the scan trigger state.
The application can issue an Android Broadcast Intent, to control the scanner, without requiring the scan key to be pressed. The active DataWedge profile is required to control all the parameters during a scan operation.
103
DataWedge
Function Prototype
Intent i = new Intent(); i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION"); i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.SOFT_SCAN_TRIGGER", "<parameter>");
Scanner Input Plugin
The ScannerInputPlugin API command can be used to enable/disable the scanner plug-in being used by the currently active Profile. Disabling the scanner plug-in effectively disables scanning in that Profile, regardless of whether the Profile is associated or unassociated. Valid only when Barcode Input is enabled in the active
Profile.
NOTE
: Use of this API changes only the runtime status of the scanner; it does not make persistent changes to the Profile.
Function Prototype
Intent i = new Intent(); i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION"); i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.SCANNER_INPUT_PLUGIN", "<parameter>");
Parameters
action: String "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION" extra_data: String "com.symbol.datawedge.api.SCANNER_INPUT_PLUGIN"
<parameter>: The parameter as a string, using either of the following:
• SUSPEND_PLUGIN - suspends the scanner so it is temporarily inactive when switching from the WAITING or SCANNING state. SCANNER_STATUS notification broadcasts IDLE state.
• RESUME_PLUGIN - resumes the scanner when changing from the SUSPEND_PLUGIN suspended state.
SCANNER_STATUS notification broadcasts WAITING and SCANNING states, rotating between each depending on whether scanning is taking place. In the WAITING state it is expecting an action from the user such as a trigger press. In the SCANNING state it is actively performing a scan resulting from an action such as a trigger press.
• "ENABLE_PLUGIN" - enables the plug-in the scanner becomes active.
• "DISABLE_PLUGIN" - disables the plug-in the scanner becomes inactive.
Return Values
None.
Error and debug messages will be logged to the Android logging system which then can be viewed and filtered by the logcat command. You can use logcat from an ADB shell to view the log messages, for example:
104
DataWedge
$ adb logcat -s DWAPI
Error messages will be logged for invalid actions and parameters.
Example
// define action and data strings
String scannerInputPlugin = "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION_SCANNERINPUTPLUGIN";
String extraData = "com.symbol.datawedge.api.EXTRA_PARAMETER"; public void onResume() {
// create the intent
Intent i = new Intent();
// set the action to perform i.setAction(scannerInputPlugin);
// add additional info i.putExtra(extraData, "DISABLE_PLUGIN");
// send the intent to DataWedge context.sendBroadcast(i);
}
Comments
This intent API allows the scanner plug-in for the current Profile to be enabled or disabled. For example, activity A launches and uses the intent API to switch to ProfileA in which the scanner plug-in is enabled, then at some point it uses the Data Capture API to disable the scanner plug-in. Activity B is launched. In DataWedge,
ProfileB is associated with activity B. DataWedge switches to ProfileB. When activity A comes back to the foreground, in the onResume method, activity A needs to use the intent API to switch back to ProfileA, then use the intent API again to disable the scanner plug-in, to return back to the state it was in.
NOTE
: Use of this API changes only the runtime status of the scanner; it does not make persistent changes to the Profile.
The above assumes that ProfileA is not associated with any applications/activities, therefore when focus switches back to activity A, DataWedge will not automatically switch to ProfileA therefore activity A must switch back to ProfileA in its onResume method. Because DataWedge will automatically switch Profile when an activity is paused, it is recommended that this API function be called from the onResume method of the activity.
Enumerate Scanners
Use the enumerateScanners API command to get a list of scanners available on the device.
Function Prototype
Intent i = new Intent(); i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION"); i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ENUMERATE_SCANNERS", "");
105
DataWedge
Parameters
ACTION [String]: "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ENUMERATE_SCANNERS"
Return Values
The enumerated list of scanners will be returned via the broadcast Intent
"com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION_ENUMERATEDSCANNERLIST". The list of scanners is returned as a string array (see the example below).
Error and debug messages are logged to the Android logging system which then can be viewed and filtered by the logcat command. You can use logcat from an ADB shell to view the log messages. For example:
$ adb logcat -s DWAPI
Error messages are logged for invalid actions and parameters.
106
DataWedge
Example
//
// Call before sending the enumeration query
// public void registerReciever(){
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESULT_ACTION");//RESULT_ACTION
filter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
registerReceiver(enumeratingBroadcastReceiver, filter);
}
//
// Send the enumeration command to DataWedge
// public void enumerateScanners(){
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION");
i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ENUMERATE_SCANNERS", "");
this.sendBroadcast(i);
} public void unRegisterReciever(){
unregisterReceiver(enumeratingBroadcastReceiver);
}
//
// Create broadcast receiver to receive the enumeration result
// private BroadcastReceiver enumeratingBroadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
Log.d(TAG, "Action: " + action);
if(action.equals("com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESULT_ACTION")){
//
// enumerate scanners
//
if(intent.hasExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESULT_ENUMERATE_SCANNERS")) {
ArrayList<Bundle> scannerList = (ArrayList<Bundle>) intent.getSerializableExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESULT_ENUMERATE_SCANNERS");
if((scannerList != null) && (scannerList.size() > 0)) {
for (Bundle bunb : scannerList){
String[] entry = new String[4];
entry[0] = bunb.getString("SCANNER_NAME");
entry[1] = bunb.getBoolean("SCANNER_CONNECTION_STATE")+"";
entry[2] = bunb.getInt("SCANNER_INDEX")+"";
entry[3] = bunb.getString("SCANNER_IDENTIFIER");
Log.d(TAG, "Scanner:" + entry[0] + " Connection:" + entry[1] + " Index:" + entry[2] + " ID:" + entry[3]);
}
}
}
}
}
};
Comments
The scanner and its parameters are set based on the currently active Profile.
107
DataWedge
Set Default Profile
Use the setDefaultProfile API function to set the specified Profile as the default Profile.
Default Profile Recap
Profile0 is the generic Profile used when there are no user created Profiles associated with an application.
Profile0 can be edited but cannot be associated with an application. That is, DataWedge allows manipulation of plug-in settings for Profile0 but it does not allow assignment of a foreground application. This configuration allows DataWedge to send output data to any foreground application other than applications associated with user-defined Profiles when Profile0 is enabled.
Profile0 can be disabled to allow DataWedge to only send output data to those applications which are associated in user-defined Profiles. For example, create a Profile associating a specific application, disable
Profile0 and then scan. DataWedge only sends data to the application specified in the user-created Profile.
This adds additional security to DataWedge enabling the sending of data only to specified applications.
Usage Scenario
A launcher application has a list of apps that a user can launch and that none of the listed apps has an associated DataWedge Profile. Once the user has selected an app, the launcher needs to set the appropriate
DataWedge Profile for the selected app. This could be done by using setDefaultProfile to set the default
Profile to the required Profile. Then when the user launches the selected app, DataWedge auto Profile switching switches to the default Profile (which is now the required Profile for that app).
If, for some reason, the launched app has an associated DataWedge Profile then that will override the set default Profile.
When control is returned to the launcher application, resetDefaultProfile can be used to reset the default
Profile.
Function Prototype
Intent i = new Intent(); i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION"); i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.SET_DEFAULT_PROFILE", "<profile name>");
Parameters
ACTION [String]: "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION"
EXTRA_DATA [String]: "com.symbol.datawedge.api.SET_DEFAULT_PROFILE"
<profile name> : The Profile name (a case-sensitive string) to set as the default Profile.
Return Values
None.
Error and debug messages are logged to the Android logging system which then can be viewed and filtered by the logcat command. You can use logcat from an ADB shell to view the log messages. For example:
108
DataWedge
$ adb logcat -s DWAPI
Error messages are logged for invalid actions, parameters and failures, for example, Profile not found or associated with an application.
Example
// define action and data strings
String setDefaultProfile = "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION";
String extraData = "com.symbol.datawedge.api.SET_DEFAULT_PROFILE"; public void onResume() {
// create the intent
Intent i = new Intent();
// set the action to perform
i.setAction(setDefaultProfile);
// add additional info (a name)
i.putExtra(extraData, "myProfile");
// send the intent to DataWedge
this.sendBroadcast(i);
}
Comments
The API command has no effect if the specified Profile does not exist or if the specified Profile is already associated with an application. DataWedge automatically switches Profiles when the activity is paused, so it is recommended that this API function is called from the onResume method of the activity.
Zebra recommends that this Profile is created to cater to all applications/activities that would otherwise default to using Profile0. This ensures that these applications/activities continue to work with a consistent configuration.
Reset Default Profile
Use the resetDefaultProfile API function to reset the default Profile back to Profile0.
109
DataWedge
Function Prototype
Intent i = new Intent(); i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION"); i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESET_DEFAULT_PROFILE", "");
Parameters
ACTION [String]: "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION"
EXTRA_DATA [String]: "com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESET_DEFAULT_PROFILE".
Return Values
None.
Error and debug messages are logged to the Android logging system which then can be viewed and filtered by the logcat command. You can use logcat from an ADB shell to view the log messages. For example:
$ adb logcat -s DWAPI
Error messages are logged for invalid actions, parameters and failures, for example, Profile not found or associated with an application.
Example
// define action string
String action = "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION";
String extraData = "com.symbol.datawedge.api.RESET_DEFAULT_PROFILE"; public void onResume() {
// create the intent
Intent i = new Intent();
// set the action to perform
i.setAction(action);
i.putExtra(extraData, ""); // empty since a name is not required
this.sendBroadcast;
}
Comments
None.
110
DataWedge
Switch To Profile
Use the SwitchToProfile API action to switch to the specified Profile.
Profiles Recap
DataWedge is based on Profiles and plug-ins. A Profile contains information on how DataWedge should behave with different applications.
Profile information consists of:
• Associated application
• Input plug-in configurations
• Output plug-in configurations
• Process plug-in configurations
DataWedge includes a default Profile, Profile0, that is created automatically the first time DataWedge runs.
Using Profiles, each application can have a specific DataWedge configuration. For example, each user application can have a Profile which outputs scanned data in the required format when that application comes to the foreground. DataWedge can be configured to process the same set of captured data differently based on the requirements of each application.
NOTE : Use of this API changes only the runtime status of the scanner; it does not make persistent changes to the Profile.
A single Profile may be associated with one or many activities/apps, however, given an activity, only one Profile may be associated with it.
Usage Scenario
An application has two activities. Activity A only requires EAN13 bar codes to be scanned. Activity B only requires Code 128 bar codes to be scanned. Profile EAN13 is configured to only scan EAN13 bar codes and is left unassociated. Profile Code128 is configured to scan Code 128 and is left unassociated. When Activity A launches it uses SwitchToProfile to activate Profile EAN13. Similarly, when Activity B launches it uses switchToProfile to activate Profile Code128.
If another activity/app comes to the foreground, DataWedge auto Profile switching sets the DataWedge Profile accordingly either to the default Profile or to an associated Profile.
When Activity A (or Activity B) comes back to the foreground it uses switchToProfile to reset the Profile back to
Profile B (or Profile M).
Function Prototype
Intent i = new Intent(); i.setAction("com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION"); i.putExtra("com.symbol.datawedge.api.SWITCH_TO_PROFILE", "<profile name>");
Parameters
ACTION [String]: "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION"
EXTRA_DATA [String]: "com.symbol.datawedge.api.SWITCH_TO_PROFILE"
111
DataWedge
<profile name> : The Profile name (a case-sensitive string) to set as the active Profile.
Return Values
None.
Error and debug messages are logged to the Android logging system which then can be viewed and filtered by the logcat command. You can use logcat from an ADB shell to view the log messages. For example:
$ adb logcat -s DWAPI
Error messages are logged for invalid actions, parameters and failures, for example, Profile not found or associated with an application.
Example
// define action and data strings
String switchToProfile = "com.symbol.datawedge.api.ACTION";
String extraData = "com.symbol.datawedge.api.SWITCH_TO_PROFILE"; public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
// create the intent
Intent i = new Intent();
// set the action to perform
i.setAction(switchToProfile);
// add additional info
i.putExtra(extraData, "myProfile");
// send the intent to DataWedge
this.sendBroadcast(i);
}
Comments
This API function has no effect if the specified Profile does not exist or is already associated with an application.
DataWedge has a one-to-one relationship between Profiles and activities; a Profile can be associated only with a single activity. When a Profile is first created, it's not associated with any application, and is not activated until associated. This makes it possible to create multiple unassociated Profiles.
This API function activates such Profiles.
112
DataWedge
For example, Profile A is unassociated and Profile B is associated with activity B. If activity A is launched and uses SwitchToProfile function to switch to Profile A, then Profile A is active whenever activity A is in the foreground. When activity B comes to the foreground, DataWedge automatically switches to Profile B.
When activity A returns to the foreground, the app must use SwitchToProfile again to switch back to Profile
A. This would be done in the onResume method of activity A.
NOTE : Use of this API changes only the runtime status of the scanner; it does not make persistent changes to the Profile.
Notes
Because DataWedge automatically switches Profile when the activity is paused, Zebra recommends that this
API function is called from the onResume method of the activity.
After switching to a Profile, this unassociated Profile does not get assigned to the application/activity and is available to use in the future with a different app/activity.
For backward compatibility, DataWedge’s automatic Profile switching is not affected by the above API commands. This why the commands work only with unassociated Profiles and apps.
DataWedge auto Profile switching works as follows:
Every second…
• Sets newProfileId to the associated Profile ID of the current foreground activity.
• If no associated Profile is found, sets newProfileId to the associated Profile ID of the current foreground app.
• If no associated Profile is found, sets newProfileId to the current default Profile (which MAY NOT be
Profile0).
• Checks the newProfileId against the currentProfileId. If they are different:
• deactivates current Profile
• activates new Profile (newProfileId)
• sets currentProfileId = newProfileId

Configuring for a Proxy Server
A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server and requests some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server evaluates the request according to its filtering rules. For example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the request is validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf of the client.
It is important for enterprise customers to be able to set up secure computing environments within their companies, making proxy configuration essential. Proxy configuration acts as a security barrier ensuring that the proxy server monitors all traffic between the Internet and the intranet. This is normally an integral part of security enforcement in corporate firewalls within intranets.

Application Deployment
Introduction
This chapter describes features in Android including new security features, how to package applications, and procedures for deploying applications onto the device.
Security
The device implements a set of security policies that determine whether an application is allowed to run and, if allowed, with what level of trust. To develop an application, you must know the security configuration of the device, and how to sign an application with the appropriate certificate to allow the application to run (and to run with the needed level of trust).
NOTE : Ensure the date is set correctly before installing certificates or when accessing secure web sites.
Secure Certificates
If the VPN or Wi-Fi networks rely on secure certificates, obtain the certificates and store them in the device’s secure credential storage, before configuring access to the VPN or Wi-Fi networks.
If downloading the certificates from a web site, set a password for the credential storage. The device supports X.509 certificates saved in PKCS#12 key store files with a .p12 extension (if key store has a .pfx or other extension, change to .p12).
The device also installs any accompanying private key or certificate authority certificates contained in the key store.
Installing a Secure Certificate
To install a secure certificate:
1. Copy the certificate from the host computer to the root of the microSD card or the device’s internal memory. See USB Communication for information about connecting the device to a host computer and copying files.
2. Swipe down from the Status bar to open the Quick Access panel and then touch .
3. Touch Security & location > Advanced > Encryption & credentials .
4. Touch Install from storage .
139
Application Deployment
5. Navigate to the location of the certificate file.
6. Touch the filename of the certificate to install.
7. If prompted, enter the password for credential storage. If a password has not been set for the credential storage, enter a password for it twice and then touch OK .
8. If prompted, enter the certificate’s password and touch OK .
9. Enter a name for the certificate and in the Credential use drop-down, select VPN and apps or Wi-Fi .

StageNow
StageNow is Zebra's next-generation Android Staging Solution built on the MX platform. It allows quick and easy creation of device profiles, and can deploy to devices simply by scanning a bar code, reading a tag, or playing an audio file.
The StageNow Staging Solution includes the following components:
• The StageNow Workstation tool installs on the staging workstation (host computer) and lets the administrator easily create staging profiles for configuring device components, and perform other staging actions such as checking the condition of a target device to determine suitability for software upgrades or other activities. The StageNow Workstation stores profiles and other created content for later use.
• The StageNow Client resides on the device and provides a user interface for the staging operator to initiate staging. The operator uses one or more of the desired staging methods (print and scan a bar code, read an
NFC tag or play an audio file) to deliver staging material to the device.
