Android Hardware Barcode Scanner #

A Flutter plugin for Android hardware barcode scanner devices (PDA / rugged devices).
It listens to native scan events and streams scanned barcode values into Flutter.

This plugin is intended for built-in hardware scanners, not camera-based scanning.

Features #

• Android hardware barcode scanner support
• Event-based scanning using Dart Streams
• Fast and lightweight
• No camera dependency
• Simple and clean Flutter API

Supported Devices #

This plugin works on Android devices with native barcode scanning hardware, such as:

• Industrial PDAs
• Rugged handheld terminals
• OEM devices that broadcast barcode scan intents

Camera-based barcode scanning is not supported.
