The Scanner plugin AWScanner is not working

Pudi_Sagar

AWScanner is not working: I am using AppWorks 16.2.1 and when I am trying to invoke scan document function it's not working.
Does anyone tried this so far? Appreciate your help. I am using the example code from https://github.com/opentext/appworks-js#awscanner

---

var scan = function (returnType) {
                    var scanner = new Appworks.Scanner();
                    scanner.scanDocument(
                      returnType, // Set the return type: 0 = filepath, 1 = base64, 2 = doc provider (will return a filepath as well)
                      function(successMessage) {
                        // Called when the scan completes and returns successfully
                        // Success message will be a string
                        alert(successMessage);

                      }, function(errorMessage) {
                        // Called when the scan fails or a cancelled
                        // error message will be string
                        alert(errorMessage);
                      }
                    );
            };

When I am trying to use the scanner with the following button in my index.html It's not invoking the scanner and even not displaying any error.

---

 <button onclick="scan(0)"> Scan </button>

Hi Sagar,

Instead of: var scanner = new Appworks.Scanner();

Try: var scanner = new Appworks.AWScanner();

In the latest version of appworks.js for desktop, the Appworks.AWxxx classes have been aliased so you can use, for example, Appworks.AWScanner() and Appworks.Scanner().

However, this has not made it into the Android or iOS clients just yet as more testing is needed.

Please let me know if using AWScanner solves this issue for you.

Kind regards,
Nick
