react-native-datawedge-intents | React Native interface for Zebra 's DataWedge Intent API

That React module (which I'm the author of by the way :) ) is hardcoded to assume that scan data will be sent via a Broadcast Intent. I did it this way because the DataWedge API can only communicate with the application via Broadcast Intents however scan data is not sent via the DataWedge API, it is sent via the DataWedge Intent output plugin which CAN support both startActivity and startService.

By default the device, out of the box, will not launch DWDemo when a barcode is scanned. If you launch DataWedge you will see a number of profiles, one of which will be the 'default' profile which is used when no other profile is in effect (i.e. no app associated with a specific profile is in the foreground) - you can configure this default profile to specify Intent delivery as StartActivity and I assume whatever profile is default on your device is invoking the DWDemo app.

So, to achieve what you want to achieve you would need to:

• Configure the default DataWedge profile to start your app when a barcode is scanned.
• Use a React module that can process the Intent received (In Native code, something like https://github.com/Zebra/samples-datawedge/blob/master/DataWedge-API-Exerciser/app/src/main/java/com/zebra/datawedgeexerciser/MainActivity.java#L163 but I guess there must be a more generic ReactNative Intent module that can achieve this)
