Using Zebra Library in Build Apps

Hello everyone,

I’m currently developing a mobile app using SAP Build Apps (formerly AppGuyver) for the Zebra TC72 device. The app’s primary function is to scan product barcodes to retrieve information. However, I’ve encountered an issue with the Zebra TC72’s optical barcode reader—it behaves like a keyboard and requires an active input field to function.

Ideally, I would like the scan input to directly populate the selected input field without the need for manual intervention. Each page of the app will contain only one input field or none at all.

I’m aware that there are libraries available that include Zebra functionalities in apps. However, I haven’t been successful in integrating external tools into SAP Build Apps.

Does anyone have experience or insights on how to directly integrate barcode scanning functionality into SAP Build Apps?

Thank you for your assistance!
