Usage

Initialize EMDK and open a barcode scanner

import 'package:zebra_emdk_plugin/zebra_emdk_plugin.dart';

// 1. Start EMDK Manager
final emdkService = EmdkManagerService();
await emdkService.initialize();

// 2. Once EMDK opens, initialize the Barcode Manager
final barcodeService = BarcodeManagerService();
await barcodeService.initialize();

// 3. Get available scanners and pick one
final scanners = await barcodeService.getSupportedScanners();
await barcodeService.setScannerTypeByFriendlyName(scanners.first.friendlyName);

// 4. Initialize the scanner and listen for scan data
final scannerService = ScannerService();
await scannerService.initialize();
await scannerService.enableRead();

scannerService.onData.listen((scanData) {
  print('Scanned: ${scanData.data}');
});

Trigger a notification (beep + LED)

final notificationService = NotificationManagerService();
await notificationService.initialize();
await notificationService.setNotificationDeviceByFriendlyName('DEFAULT');

final deviceService = NotificationDeviceService();
await deviceService.initialize();
await deviceService.notify(
  beep: BeepCommand(pattern: [Beep(time: 100, frequency: 2500)]),
  led: LedCommand(color: 3, onTime: 100, offTime: 0, repeatCount: 1),
);

Read OEM device info

final oemInfo = OemInfoService();
final serial = await oemInfo.getSerialNumber();
final btMac = await oemInfo.getBluetoothMac();
print('Device: $serial, BT: $btMac');
