We need to build a front-end application which will run on a windows tablet.
In this application the users should be able to use the camera and a barcode scanner.
Is this possible on a web application in Outsystems?
Hi christopher torfs,
Hope it will be possible on web applications to scan the barcode. They are some components on forge to scan the barcode.

Hi Christopher,
You may use HTML5 + Javascript to use the camera and Barcode scanner
To use the Camera:
<input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="camera" />

Try to search in forge components if already has a component to do that.
At the moment OutSystems does only have a native mobile plugin for BarcodeScanning. Luckily we have a lot of developers publishing their good additional functionalities to the Forge (so you don't have to do it yourself). There i see Miguel Meireles created a the SimpleQRCode Reader plug-in. The easiest solution for you is to install this plug-in and check if it does the job for you.
Please keep in mind that not all mobile browsers support camera control. Check https://whatwebcando.today/ for to see if your browser (but more important: your users' browser) supports it.Hope this will help you ;)
