Differences between startScan() and scan()

[randy-johnson]

Hello,

I am wondering what the differences are between startScan() and scan() and why the need for both?

Thanks,
Randy

Please take a look at the documentation.

startScan(...) starts the scan and returns detected barcodes via the barcodeScanned listener. Multiple barcodes can be scanned in one session.
scan(...) scans a barcode with a ready-to-use interface which means you don't need any WebView customization. The scanned barcode is returned as the result of the method.
