A barcode reader inputs what it sees into a text field. On products, what is "seen" is the UPC ( Universal Product Code ). I have no problem retrieving this with a barcode reader and inserting it into the right field for use and saving.
My question: Has anyone tried working with a decoding option for UPC codes that looks up the item, and returns the descriptive data ? I know this is commonly available in many apps, so I assume there may be some existing API to do this. Perhaps someone has already found a solution for this with FWH.
Again, I read and use the barcode with no problem. The issue is finding a resource database for decoding the UPC data itself which likely uses a web based database.
Thanks for any input.
