Returning information from a Barcode

[Phillon Morris]

I'm just getting started with Tiggzi, so i am a newbie to mobile apps. I wanted to utilise the barcode scanner and return information on any products with a barcode. I have configured the scanner to actually scan a barcode, but how do i now get the information to be returned on the screen for the product that i have just scanned?

Once you scan you get a string value (URL, product id, etc). You then need to use another service passing that value to get information about it. The bar code scanner only scans, it doesn't return information about the item.

Hi Max, thanks for your reply.

Yep, that makes sense. I assuming that i will need to create a db to hold this info on the barcodes that i will be using.

How do i display the string value on the barcode?
As long as i know that, i should be able to figure out how to marry things up.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Which string do you want to display on the barcode?
