How to disable beep on phonegap plugin barcodescanner ? (meteor and cordova)

I'm writing an meteor app using the phonegap plugin barcodeScanner https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner everything is working fine except that i don't find a way to disable the "beep" sound that is launch after a barcode scan success. Does anyone find a way on how to do that ?

Solution

  • The documentation shows that a disableSuccessBeep parameter can be passed to disable the beep.

    cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(
  function (result) {
    // Do something with the barcode
  },
  function (error) {
    // Handle error
  },
  {
    disableSuccessBeep: true
  }
);

    Note that the disableSuccessBeep parameter only disables the beep on iOS. For other platforms that beep, you can upload a silent sound file as @Phonolog pointed out in the comments:

    Take a look in here. It seems to be possible to overwrite the platforms/android/res/raw/beep.ogg with a silent ogg.
