Encountering an Error when Integrating Scandit Android 4.0.1 with Cordova

I attempted to incorporate Scandit Android 4.0.1, but I encountered the following error when initiating the Android call function. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or is it unique to me?

Solution

  • It looks like you set an odd value for "cameraSwitchVisibility", something like a bool or integer instead of a string. As you can see in the docs (http://docs.scandit.com/interface_cordova_plugin.html) the only allowed values are "never", "tablet" and "always".

    Should this not resolve the issue please paste the cordova.exec call that you use in your app.
