External Bluetooth Device Custom Implementation

Tailor the functionality of Bluetooth input devices (Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth laser barcode scanner) by using the Consumer Goods (CG) Cloud mobile app framework APIs. For example, when a sales rep opens an order screen in the CG Cloud mobile app, you can customize the app to automatically activate the Bluetooth keyboard and on exiting the order screen, the app automatically activates the Bluetooth barcode scanner and deactivates the bluetooth keyboard.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience

Available in: Enterprise and Unlimited Editions that have Consumer Goods Cloud enabled

Invoke the switchToBluetoothBarcodeScannerAsync and switchToBluetoothKeyboardAsync framework APIs in the business logic contracts of your customization project to implement a custom behavior of the Bluetooth laser barcode scanner and keyboard devices in the CG Cloud mobile app.
