I recently found out that the out of the box scanner plugin will not scan more than 10 characters for a high density barcode (ex: CODE 39)
Since I use phonegap build, instead of reinventing the wheel, I would like to simply invoke an external barcode scanning app that can return the scanned value back to my app and I can continue from there.
How would I do that on PhoneGap? I am looking for either a working sample/app or a code that I can use as reference to atleast do a POC.
I ended up forking the barcodescanner repository on github and modifying the phonegap scanner plugin to only show a strip vs a box. This did resolve the issue.
Not the ideal solution, but was easier than architecting my own plugin
