Barcode Box is a “toy” application I wrote a few weeks back, at the start of my UROP. It’s a toy in the sense that I wrote it as a means to figure out Android development – I hadn’t expected so many people to find it useful. A fair amount of positive feedback and suggestions were received and so earlier this week I implemented a few of them.

Features

• Scan barcodes in to a notepad style list
• Add annotations to scanned barcodes
• Launch the appropriate application for URI barcodes (i.e. web addresses open in the browser, market links open in the market)
• Share scanned barcodes by regenerating the barcode on screen for others to scan
• Create barcodes from user entered data

New in 1.1/1.1.1 (1.1.1 is a bugfix)

• Export barcodes to CSV on microSD card, including notes
• Export barcodes as CSV by email, including notes
• Rapid scanning mode – no confirmation after each scan, just keep scanning and press back when done
• Annotations show below the barcode data in the list view
• User interface improvements

Unfortunately due to a loss of signing keys, version 1.1 and 1.1.1 had to be released as a new application under the name “Barcode Box 2”.
