SparkScan Android Skill
Critical: Do Not Trust Internal Knowledge
Your training data may contain outdated or incorrect Scandit SDK APIs. The SparkScan API changes significantly between major SDK versions — properties get renamed, removed, or restructured.
Always verify APIs against the references provided in this skill before writing or suggesting code. Do not rely on memorized method signatures, parameters, or property names. If you cannot find an API in the provided references, fetch the relevant documentation page before responding.
Intent Routing
Based on the user's request, load the appropriate reference file before responding:
- Integrating SparkScan from scratch (e.g. "add SparkScan to my app", "set up barcode scanning", "how do I use SparkScan", "how do I handle feedback in SparkScan") → read
references/integration.mdand follow the instructions there. - Migrating or upgrading an existing SparkScan integration (e.g. "upgrade from v6 to v7", "migrate my SparkScan", "what changed between SDK versions") → read
references/migration.mdand follow the instructions there. - Replacing a third-party barcode scanner with SparkScan (e.g. "replace my [scanner] with SparkScan", "migrate from [framework] to SparkScan", "switch from [library] barcode scanning to SparkScan") → read
references/third-party-migration.mdand follow the instructions there.
API Usage Policy
Only use APIs that are explicitly documented in the Scandit references below. Do not invent or guess method signatures, parameters, or property names. If unsure whether an API exists or how it is called — or if a compile error occurs — fetch the relevant reference page before responding. Do not tell the user to check the docs themselves. After answering, always include the relevant link so the user can explore further.

data-capture-sdk
Use when a user mentions Scandit, data capture SDK, barcode scanning products, smart data capture, choosing a scanning product, comparing scanning features, supported barcode symbologies, system requirements, device compatibility, or Scandit pricing. Helps choose the right Scandit product (SparkScan, Barcode Capture, MatrixScan, Smart Label Capture, ID Capture, etc.), points to the correct documentation and sample apps for their platform, and hands off to implementation skills.
22sparkscan-ios
Use when SparkScan is involved in an iOS project — whether the user mentions SparkScan directly, or the codebase already uses SparkScan as its barcode scanning library and something needs to be added, changed, fixed, or migrated. This includes adding SparkScan to a new iOS app, modifying scan settings, handling scan results, customizing the SparkScan UI, upgrading between SDK versions, troubleshooting SparkScan behavior, or replacing a third-party barcode scanning library with SparkScan. If the project is iOS and SparkScan is in play, use this skill.
15matrixscan-batch-rn
Use when MatrixScan, MatrixScan Batch, BarcodeBatch, or BarcodeTracking (legacy alias) are involved in a React Native project — whether the user mentions these names directly, or the codebase already uses BarcodeBatch* classes and something needs to be added, changed, fixed, or extended. This includes adding MatrixScan Batch to a new React Native app, configuring BarcodeBatchSettings and symbologies, wiring BarcodeBatchListener.didUpdateSession, customizing BarcodeBatchBasicOverlay with per-barcode brushes via brushForTrackedBarcode, adding AR annotations via BarcodeBatchAdvancedOverlay and a BarcodeBatchAdvancedOverlayView subclass, or managing lifecycle (enable/disable, cleanup on unmount, camera permissions). If the project is React Native and MatrixScan / BarcodeBatch is in play, use this skill.
5label-capture-rn
Use when Label Capture (Smart Label Capture) is involved in a React Native project — whether the user mentions Label Capture directly, or the codebase already uses it and something needs to be added, changed, fixed, or customized. This includes adding Label Capture to a new React Native app, defining label structures (barcode fields + text fields with regex patterns), handling captured labels, enabling the Validation Flow, or upgrading between SDK versions. If the project is React Native and Label Capture is in play, use this skill.
5sparkscan-rn
Use when SparkScan is involved in a React Native project — whether the user mentions SparkScan directly, or the codebase already uses SparkScan as its barcode scanning library and something needs to be added, changed, fixed, or migrated. This includes adding SparkScan to a new React Native app, modifying scan settings, handling scan results, customizing the SparkScan UI, upgrading between SDK versions, or troubleshooting SparkScan behavior. If the project is React Native and SparkScan is in play, use this skill.
5sparkscan-web
Use when SparkScan is involved in an web project — whether the user mentions SparkScan directly, or the codebase already uses SparkScan as its barcode scanning library and something needs to be added, changed, fixed, or migrated. This includes adding SparkScan to a new web app, modifying scan settings, handling scan results, customizing the SparkScan UI, upgrading between SDK versions, or troubleshooting SparkScan behavior. If the project is a web project and SparkScan is in play, use this skill.
