Scanning Mode API

Fine-tune the camera scanning behavior of the QR and barcode scanner in WebViewGold for iOS.

If your web app presents information on the screen to be scanned (for example, a QR code), it can be helpful to turn the screen brightness up to 100% and to prevent the screen from sleeping. WebViewGold provides the Scanning Mode API to dynamically enable these optimal scanning conditions.

This API includes 3 commands:

  • "auto" = turns on scanning mode and automatically turns it off on page redirect.
  • "on" = turns on scanning mode, stays on after page redirects.
  • "off" = turns off scanning mode.

Link to these kinds of URLs to use the Scanning Mode API:
<a href="scanningmode://auto">Enable Scanning Mode; will automatically disable on page redirect</a>
<a href="scanningmode://on">Enable Scanning Mode; will persist until manually disabled</a>
<a href="scanningmode://off">Disable Scanning Mode</a>
