First make sure the ZXing Finding objects via a Barcode Scanner or QR-Code on the {{UBIK Client}} implies that a [[FAQ:Client#tab=Android|recommended application]] is installed on the device. Additionally the objects and the system needs to be prepared as described by these [[HowTo:Make_an_Object_be_found_by_Optical_Codes|instructions]]. This guide describes how to use the features on the client.
== Start a scanner ==
# Press one of the optical code scanning buttons in the context aware action top baror in the start screen.<br/>[[File:UI_Android_StartScannerFromActionBarTopBarButtons.jpgPNG|200 440 px|border]][[File:StartButtons.PNG|alt=Start an Scanner220 px|Start an Scannerborder]]#Select the optical code type on the left side<br/> [[File:Opical Scan.PNG|100 px|border]] {{attention|From version 2.4.3 on, the context sensitive action bar doesn't contain the scanning buttons anymore. Instead, the scanning menu can be found in the navigation drawer (to be opened by clicking on the app's icon).}}{{attention|From version 2.4.4 on, the Getac Z710's integrated barcode/qr-code scanner is used if available. In the default configuration, it makes a very loud beeping sound though. You might want to switch that off in the Getac's settings (not in the UBIK settings - this is outside our control).}}
== Scan an optical code ==
# Position the device in a way that the optical code is visible and stable in the camera view;
# Wait until the optical code is recognized by the scanner.<br/>[[File:UI_Android_IDMarkerRecognized.jpg|300 200 px|border|alt=ID Marker Recognized|ID Marker Recognized]]
== Wait for the search to finish ==
# Once the scan is finished, wait until the scanner is closed and an empty browser shows up;
# Depending on the network connection and the {{UBIK}} [[Sync Mode|sync mode]], [[Optical code#Searching for objects|different ways of searching]] will be applied;
# During the search, the list might show a searching text before any objects are found;<br/>[[File:UI_Android_SearchObjectWithOpticalCode.jpg|420 px|border|alt=Searching for Objects|Searching for Objects]]
# If any objects are found, they will be added to the list.<br/>[[File:UI_Android_ObjectWithOpticalCodeFound.jpg|420 px|border|alt=Displaying Objects|Displaying Objects]]
