SD Scanner control gives you the possibility to use a barcode scanner (2d and QR code) in order to enter information in a field.
At run-time a Scan button will be displayed besides your attribute, when you tap on it, a barcode scanner will be executed so you can scan the product and the result of it will be then set as the value of your attribute.
Just go to the relevant WorkWithDevices<Object>.Edit instance, select the attribute and set Scanner for the Control Type property.
Take a look at MyCowBook to see it in action.
