uhf-reader-react-native by Adnan

Getting Started

Installation

To get started with the uhf-reader-react-native package, follow these steps:

1. Install the package using npm:

   $ npm install uhf-reader-react-native --save

2. Link the package to your React Native project:

   $ react-native link uhf-reader-react-native

Android Configuration

To handle hardware key events on Android, you need to modify the MainActivity.kt file in your Android project. Follow these steps:

1. Open MainActivity.kt located in android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/yourapp/

2. Add the following imports at the top of the file:

   import com.facebook.react.bridge.ReactContext
   import android.view.KeyEvent
   import com.facebook.react.modules.core.DeviceEventManagerModule

3. Add or update the following code in the MainActivity class:

   override fun onKeyDown(keyCode: Int, event: KeyEvent): Boolean {
       if (keyCode == 139 || keyCode == 280 || keyCode == 293) { // Replace with your hardware key code
           val reactInstanceManager = reactNativeHost.reactInstanceManager
           val reactContext = reactInstanceManager.currentReactContext
   
           reactContext?.let {
               sendEvent(it, "onHardwareKeyPress", "Key pressed: $keyCode")
           }
           return true
       }
       return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event)
   }
   
   private fun sendEvent(reactContext: ReactContext, eventName: String, params: String) {
       reactContext
           .getJSModule(DeviceEventManagerModule.RCTDeviceEventEmitter::class.java)
           .emit(eventName, params)
   }

Usage

Here's how you can use the uhf-reader-react-native package in your React Native application:

1. Import the module:

   import C72RfidScanner from "uhf-reader-react-native";
   import { NativeEventEmitter, Alert, Button, Text, TextInput, View } from 'react-native';

2. Use the module in your component:

   const App = () => {
       const [isReading, setIsReading] = React.useState(false);
       const [powerState, setPowerState] = React.useState('');
       const [tags, setTags] = React.useState([]);
       const [power, setPower] = React.useState(0);
       const eventEmitter = new NativeEventEmitter(C72RfidScanner);
   
       const showAlert = (title, data) => {
           Alert.alert(
               title,
               data,
               [{ text: 'OK', onPress: () => console.log('OK Pressed') }],
               { cancelable: false }
           );
       };
   
       const powerListener = (data) => {
           setPowerState(data);
       };
   
       const tagListener = (data) => {
           setTags(tags => tags.concat(data[0]));
           C72RfidScanner.playSoundFunc(1);
       };
   
       React.useEffect(() => {
           (async () => {
               try {
                   const scanner = C72RfidScanner;
                   const result = await scanner.initializeUHF();
                   setPowerState(result);
                   scanner.tagListener(tagListener);
                   scanner.powerListener(powerListener);
                   const subscription = eventEmitter.addListener('onHardwareKeyPress', () => {
                       scanSingleTag();
                   });
                   return () => {
                       subscription.remove();
                   };
               } catch (error) {
                   Alert.alert(error?.message);
               }
           })();
           return () => {
               C72RfidScanner.deinitializeUHF();
               C72RfidScanner.releaseSoundPool();
           };
       }, []);
   
       const readPower = async () => {
           try {
               let result = await C72RfidScanner.readPower();
               showAlert('SUCCESS', `The result is ${result}`);
               console.log(result);
           } catch (error) {
               showAlert('FAILED', error.message);

               console.log(result);
           } catch (error) {
               showAlert('FAILED', error.message);
           }
       };
   
       const startReading = () => {
           C72RfidScanner.startReadingTags((message) => {

           });
       };
   
       const stopReading = () => {
