I'm also trying to add the barcode reader in a Sencha touch project.

I want to build something that goes with every device (Phone, Tablets) and also OS (iOS, Android).
The first step is to integrate the Camera into my sencha project, and then? Suggestions?

Thanx

You can use a phonegap plugin to handle this for you. Here are some links for iOS and Android solutions:

Android: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap...BarcodeScanner

iOS: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap...BarcodeScanner

Thank you for your reply!
Isn't there a way to get barcodes via javascript (so that it is unique for every OS)?

If no, I'll check your advice
Thanx!

I just provided two links that will enable you to read barcodes via javascript. This is enabled via a phonegap plugin which will handle the native code for you but provide a javascript interface to its capability.

My advice is for you to click the links, read the contents, then determine if it will help you accomplish your goals. If after doing that you feel it does not satisfy your goals, please reply with a better description of what you're trying to accomplish.
