Following on from http://www.edugeek.net/forums/netbooks-pda-phones/69648-app-edugeeks.html I've knocked up a basic app to scan in barcodes of equipment.

 

The app requires that the Barcode Scanner app by the Zxing team (its on the market) is installed as my app just calls its scanning routines and gets the value returned.

 

This version is just to see if it installs and works on other phones.SimpleScan.zip

 

Instructions

Download and install it using a file manager type app.

Its called SimpleScan :)

When you run it, press the Scan Serial Num button, scan a barcode and then enter rest of information (all optional) and press Save (successful save will create a text file in /sdcard/simplescan and clear the fields)

 

Any feedback greatfully received (what device info needed)

 

If it works, then we can go onto what data fields we really need and functionality!

 

regards

 

Simon

PS For a fully grown up app - check out Memento - very polished - hopefully mine will have the advantage of integrating into a free stock database/SIMS/CMIS :)

Good idea... Works fine for me - LG Optimus GT540 :)

 

An idea though... Is it possible to output all info into one file (maybe xls or xml...)? That would be really useful for when recording old stock.

Works for me... It would be good if, as well as being able to enter the manufacturer manually, we could click a button for a list of pre-defined manufacturers, so we'd only need to enter them for obscure things...

No problems on the Samsung Galaxy S (Android 2.1) and Tab (Android 2.2).

 

I'd like to see integration with GLPI so we can more quickly input equipment (peripherals mainly).

@all - looking like frist hurdle over - ta :)

I'll move onto getting it to store all the scans in a database with export/import to xml/csv.

 

And drop down manfacturers:)

 

What fields are really needed - obviousy sn, model, manufacturer and free description - what others will prob be needed?

 

regards

How about drop downs for OS and architecture (x86/x64). maybe also configurable drop downs for Room/location?

Works for me

 

HTC Desire (Android 2.2)

 

but we need an app to do something with the text files.

 

also when scanning same item again it makes a new file. would be better if it brought up the record for that item.

How about make it populate new scan with the previous manufacturer/model number? that way when you start scanning a room most of the work is done for you.

Many people would use this tool for slightly different tasks - so why not make the generic headers (fields) that most of us will use e.g. Serial Number - Make - Model

 

but then add an option to make your own headers (fields)? Then people can add anything they want!!

@john Do you want the good news or the bad news :)

 

The good news :D Is it you bought me a new Windows 7 Phone and are developing it for that? Or is the bad news that WM 6.1 is too new for you and you want me to dig out my old XDA2 from O2?

@all

V0.2 now stores info in internal database and has a menu option to export the database to xml file in sdcard/simplescan

Source Code now available simplescan - Project Hosting on Google Code

That's much better just with the export option (LG GT540). Will be a useful app.

No the good news we've decided to treat Windows Mobile with the contempt it so richly deserves ;)

 

The bad news is we have to now hear you moan about it.... :D

update option when installing

 

What do you mean? Keep existing data?

nice icon

Anyone fancy doing this - if you create it I'll stick it in :)

 

@people wanting generic app

Memento is a great app to allow full customising of any storage database you want.

 

This app is intended as a straight forward IT equip (computers/projectors/monitors etc) asset logger (well at the moment it is)
