Configuring the terminal
If using native Android keyboards (default option), you must deactivate the auto-complete and auto-correct features on the Android keyboard for the terminal (in particular, auto-changing a double space to a "full stop plus space" must be deactivated).
The scanner must be configured as follows:
- When reading a GS1 code, the first FCT1 character must not be sent.
- The scanner must replace the ASCII &x1D (Group Separator) character by the one specified in the "HF_EAN" program configuration.
We recommend you to use the '=" character as it is rarely used in bar codes. - Return the Enter key at the end of the scanned string.
We recommend configuring the bar code reader so that it uses the Intent mechanism rather than keyboard input. This will make scanning more reliable and an error beep will be emitted if the application is not available.
The configuration steps are as follows:
For Zebra terminals:
- Deactivate keyboard input.
- Activate input via Intent.
- The Intent action must be: com.hardis.wagonandroid.INJECTDATA.
- The send mechanism via Intent must be: startService
- The key for "string"-type data must be: com.symbol.datawedge.data_string.
For Honneywell terminals:
- In the Android settings, select honeywell settings / scanning / internal scanning / default profile / data processing settings
- Tick "data intent"
- Define a profile for the package: hardis.com.wagonandroid
- Fill in the following parameters:
- action = com.hardis.wagonandroid.INJECTDATA
- category = android.intent.category.DEFAULT
- package name =
- class name =
- extra key = data=com.symbol.datawedge.data_string
Selecting deployment method
You can choose between two deployment methods for the Reflex application on a terminal fleet.
If you have an MDM-type deployment tool, we recommend that you use it, because it will make deployment simpler.

Repair data items
Does changing the resolution in the settings cause display errors?
The Reflex session open before the change retains the previous resolution on the server.
Change the resolution setting and close the Reflex session. The new session will be displayed as desired.
Has the user authentication page failed to display?
This is most likely to occur with Open-ID-type authentication.
Select "Use system browser" in the settings and try again.
Don't recognise the certificate when accessing the server?
If you use an auto-signed certificate, we have run into problems with their use via Android's Keystore system.
Use the Keystore application. See the paragraph "Configuration with certificates" or the parameter "Pref_Private_ssl_certificate" on the following page: Android on-board terminals.
Configuration files from \Hardis\reflex\Conf not taken into account?
Only the -legacy edition can access the \Hardis directory.
Check the names of directories and files. They are case-sensitive.
