Automagic Forum

Hi,
I am not able to switch on flashlight when scanning the barcode.
Is it problem of my device or an function of automagic?

Hi,

Scanning the barcode uses the camera and the flash is also a component of the camera so the device might not be able to switch between the two functions fast enough. Adding a sleep of a second or two between the barcode scanning and the flashlight action might help.

Hi Martin,
I added sleep but then also it was not able to open barcode scanner.

??

When you say 'not able to open barcode scanner' does the action Scan Barcode fail with an error or are you using an external barcode scanner?
Could you share the flow so I can try to reproduce?

Hi,
I am using the barcode scanner of automagic itself.
After turning on the flashlight , it is not able to launch barcode scanner.

Hi,

You can not use the Flashlight and the barcode scanner at the same time. The flashlight action already occupies the camera so the barcode scanner will not work or will turn off the flashlight (probably depends on Android version).
I could add some options to the barcode scanner action to define whether the scanner should use the flashlight or not.

Thanks Martin for your help....
