The barcode scanner goes stuck at the first time usage in ios,and while in the second click it works fine

hi I am using phonegap barcodeplugin wildabeast/BarcodeScanner for scanning the barcodes.

Here is my code

$('#scanbtn').on( "tap", function(evt){

                    scanner = null;

                    if(ival == 0){
                        ival = 1;
                        scanaction();

                    }

            });

            function scanaction(){
                cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan( function (result) {

                        scanText = result.text;
                        scanFormat = result.format;
                        scanCancelled = result.cancelled;

                    /* alert("We got a barcode\n" +
                                "Result: " + scanText + "\n" +
                                "Format: " + scanFormat + "\n" +
                                "Cancelled: " + scanCancelled); */

                                $.mobile.changePage('#pageTwo',{transition: "slide"});


                    }, function (error) {
                        ival = 0;
                        console.log("Scanning failed: ", error);

                    });
            }

This is the screen I'm getting on the first scan,and the scanner goes stuck,and not scanning anymore

And the log I'm getting on this occasion is

Solution

  • The problem is due to the jquerymobile framework. The "tap" function in the jquerymobile fires multiple times on a single click was the reason for the issue I've mensioned. It is rectified by changing the jquerymobile's "tap" method as follows

        $(document).off('tap', '#scanbtn')
                          .on('tap', '#scanbtn',function(e) {
                                   if(ival == 0){
                                          ival = 1;
                                          scanaction();

                                    }

                             });

    Now my issue is solved. The scanner works fine.
