[Q1] How can I obtain the scanning capability of HUAWEI Scan Kit?

Generally, HMS Core is pre-installed on Huawei phones. If it meets the version requirements, you can call the HMS Core Scan SDK to obtain the barcode scanning capability.


[Q2] Does the Scan SDK support devices in addition to Huawei phones?

Non-Huawei phones are supported by the HMS Core Scan SDK 1.1.0.300 and later.


[Q3] What barcodes can be parsed by the HMS Core Scan SDK?

The HMS Core Scan SDK can parse most of 1D and 2D barcodes, including: CODE_128, CODE_39, CODE_93, CODABAR, DATA_MATRIX, EAN_13, EAN_8, ITF, QR_CODE, UPC_A, UPC_E, PDF417, and AZTEC.


[Q4]  What languages are supported by HUAWEI Scan Kit?

Languages supported by Scan Kit are the same as those supported by HMS Core. Currently, 78 languages are supported. For details, please refer to Languages Supported by the HMS SDK.


[Q5] Are the algorithms of different APIs the same?

The identification and decoding algorithms of different APIs are the same.


[Q6] Are cloud functions involved?

No cloud function is involved, and no personal data is stored.


[Q7] When a transaction-related app calls the barcode scanning function, private information such as bank card numbers will be targeted. Is the card number storage secure?
Scan Kit processes data only on devices and does not store any personal data, ensuring private data security.

[Q8] What can I do if a barcode cannot be parsed?

a. Check the version of your HMS Core. If its version is earlier than 3.0.3, upgrade to 3.0.3 or later.

b. Check whether the camera automatically focuses. If not, images cannot be identified and parsed.

c. Check whether the format of the scanned 1D or 2D barcode is supported.

d. If the fault persists, send an email to scankit@huawei.com for Huawei technical support.


[Q9] Will the call of the barcode scanning capability be charged?

The call of the barcode scanning capability in SDK mode is free of charge.
