Access to camera using RFID Mobile

Question

Hello,

We are writing an RFID application on a Motorola MC9090-G and need to be able to take a picture from the application.  The device has the necessary hardware but can I do this using BizTalk programming or do I need to use Motorola's SDK?

Thanks for your help,

Cheri

Hi,

This can't be done in a straight forward way using BizTalk RFID Mobile. You can do it by writing a BizTalk RFID Provider which uses the Motorola SDK and expose commands to take a picture and raise an event when the picture is taken, but this is rather roundabout and I'd not recommend it. I'd recommend that you use Motorola's SDK to do this.

Answer 2

Kranthi,

Thank you for your response - I suspected that but always prefer to hear what an expert says. 

The application we're writing needs to use the trigger for scanning a barcode, reading an RFID tag and taking a photo (not all at the same time).  Since it's recommended to use Motorola's SDK for photo capture, do you think it's best to use it barcode/rfid too?  I'm concerned that using the SDK and BizTalk may pose some problems with handling the trigger action...

Thanks
