MobiForms Mobile Developer Tool Now Supports Android Bar Code Reader Integration

The latest version of the innovative mobile development tool MobiForms 6.03 now offers support for Android camera bar code reader integration with one simple scan command

MobiForms is now integrated with the ZXing open-source, multi-format 1D and 2D bar code image processing library. The bar code image library supports most bar code formats including UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, ITF, RSS-14 and QR Codes. This feature is ideal for adding bar code scanning to logistics, field service and consumer mobile apps.

MobiForms also includes standard Android camera photo and GPS integration. MobiForms now makes it possible for novice or experienced programmers alike to quickly create any kind of mobile business app for Android smartphones and tablets. Additionally, the same app can be run on other platforms such as Windows Mobile and Apple iOS for iPhone, iPad and iPod.

The MobiForms Developer can be used standalone or with the MobiForms Sync Server as part of the MobiForms Advanced Edition. The MobiForms Sync Server enables bi-directional data replication, synchronisation and offline buffering between just about any master back office database server or ERP package (such as Oracle Apps, SAP, Navision, Dynamics etc.), and any MobiForms mobile client running on Google Android or a host of other mobile platforms such as Windows Mobile and Apple iOS. Supported back office database servers include Oracle, SQL Server, Access, Sybase, IBM DB2, SQLite, HSQLDB, MySQL and Firebird.

MobiForms offers all the tools in one "box" for the creation and deployment of any type of mobile application - from surveys to field service, from signature capture to bar coding.

Unlike most competing products, MobiForms offers a total solution for a once off licence fee. The licence includes an unlimited number of MobiForms clients running on Tablet PC, Pocket PC, Windows CE, Windows Mobile, Windows Smartphone, Google Android and Apple iOS iPhone, iPad and iPod. For Apple iOS devices there is a token device registration fee.
