Hi, I just tried to scan a WIFI-Code with the native CodeReader-App.
The code is scanned, then I pressed “open URL”, but I got an error message like “code-type is not supported”. So I couldn’t get into the desired WIFI-network.
Here is my screenshot:
There is work left to do. This is because the configuration of wifi is protected and barcode has not yet been adapted to it. Consider leaving a motivating message for @slava on openrepos…
The naming confuses me a bit: the app/icon on my phone is shown as “CodeReader”, following your link the same app is called “BarCode”. More uniformity would be helpful.
Would it be possible to change that? When a user grant the privileges in the app, the Wi-Fi Menu could be opened.
If not, it would be helpful, if the scanned password could be copied to a clipboard. So the user could open himself the WIFI-menu, chose the shown Wi-Fi and insert the password from the clipboard.
I scanned this code from the computer screen for testing, using Code Reader on Xperia 10 / SFOS 4.5.0.19, and content is displayed in the line below, but cut right. Tap on the decoded string opens a screen where it is displayed in full length. I can select and copy it and paste it into a note. Then I could setup the WIFI manually in theory…
I can confirm that a desktop file with x-scheme-handler/wifi does pick up the not-quite uri when launched from CodeReader. I also found a thing or three about how the network settings avoid dbus when launching the settings app. Maybe swing by IRC and we can sync efforts?
