Moodstocks Python wrapper

This wrapper allow you to use the Moodstock iOS and Android SDK with Kivy / Python. This current version include an UI for both iOS and Android, and do all the effort to display it correctly. The default configuration searchs for qrcode, barcode and image.

Installation

iOS

You need to use the latest kivy-ios toolchain:

./toolchain.py build pymoodstocks

Then either create or update an Xcode project with the toolchain. It will add the frameworks necessary for Moodstocks and libraries for pymoodstocks.

Android

With buildozer, you need to download the SDK for eclipse, and extract the libs/ directory into a directory named sdk (for example). Then changes in the buildozer.spec:

[app]
source.exclude_dirs = sdk
android.permissions = INTERNET, CAMERA, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
android.add_libs_armeabi = sdk/libs/armeabi/*.so
android.add_libs_armeabi_v7a = sdk/libs/armeabi-v7a/*.so
android.add_libs_x86 = sdk/libs/x86/*.so
android.add_libs_mips = sdk/libs/mips/*.so

Then (currently), you need to copy the pymoodstocks directory into your app.

Usage

Create a Moodstocks instance and pass your Moodstocks API key/secret:

from pymoodstocks import Moodstocks
moodstocks = Moodstocks(KEY, SECRET)

Then, you can bind a method to get the scan result on the fly:

def on_scan(self, result_type, result_data):
	print("I got something of type {}: {}".format(
		  result_type, result_data))
	moodstocks.stop()

def on_button_clicked(self, result_type, result_data):
	print("Button DONE click, stop the scanner")
	moodstocks.stop()

moodstocks.bind(on_scan=self.on_scan,
				on_button_clicked=self.on_button_clicked)

At any time, you can start the scanner:

moodstocks.start()

The scanner will stop processing after it detect something / on_scan method is called. You could resume the scanner instead of closing it by calling:

moodstocks.resume()

Todo

• Let the user choose which type to search for
• Implement synchronisation callback on iOS
