APEX and barcode scanners

Tom vd DuinMay 10 2022

Hi all,
Does someone have experience with Oracle APEX interacting with a barcode scanner, such as Zebra TC26? This is a Android device with barcode scanner possibilities. We are investigating using such scanners within a warehouse environment, for order picking.
For what i've seen, is that from the Chrome browser in Android, it's not possible to communicate with the barcode scanner hardware direct, there is no api in Chrome. Off course it is possible to use the camera on the device to scan a barcode, but I want to be able to act on the diverse events on the scanner hardware.
Zebra offers the Enterprise Browser, that can communicate with the scanner hardware, but I can't find if it's based on Chromium (and therefore, should also be compatible with APEX) or not.
Or maybe there is other scanner hardware that you know works with APEX? We're looking for a scanner with screen and touch interface.
