License Errors / Data Capture Context Status – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How is an error displayed / reported?

Error messages of the Scandit SDK are referring to the datacapture context status and they are

shown as overlay onto the camera preview once datacapture view is shown

reported as datacapture context status and are programmatically accessible via didChangeStatus() callback of the DataCaptureContextListener, which can be added to the DataCaptureContext object with addListener() method
for the WebSDK, the context status is reported to the console logs

Based on the listener, a programmatic action can be taken, e.g. displaying your own message.

If there is an unclear reason for the error being thrown, please reach out to us and we'll support you in finding the root cause.
