Does ODK Collect support 1D laser scanners like found on the Trimble
Nomad?
we don't have access to a nomad and the sdk is not on their site, so i
have no idea.
according to their docs, the scanning can be triggered by a button or
keyboard or an intent. for the button/keyboard, you can use a string
widget and when the keyboard pops up, hit the button/keyboard and scan
the barcode. for intent, i bet it works just fine, but if it doesn't,
it's a very minor change to collect.
if you can get a sample app from them (email support@sdgsystems.com)
and attach it to a feature request at
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/list, i'm glad to take a
closer look.
