🛠️ Resolution Steps
Available SDKs and Resources
1. Native Android Development (Java/Kotlin)

Web Application Development
Standard Web Applications
- SDK: No official SDK provided.
- Recommended Solution: Use Keyboard Wedge for input emulation.
- Advanced Option: Use DXU Android HTTP API for scanner control via HTTP requests.

Future Plans
- Datalogic is working on an Enterprise Web Browser that will allow direct scanner control via JavaScript without HTTP requests. No release timeline is currently available.
Input Wedges on Datalogic Devices
Datalogic systems support multiple input methods for scanner data:
- Keyboard Wedge: Emulates keyboard input.
- Intent Wedge: Sends data via Android intents.
- Web Wedge: Sends data as valid URLs to web applications.
Settings Location:
