sparkscan-android

sparkscan-android is a skill for Claude Code from Scandit/skills. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,150 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A coding guide for adding Scandit's SparkScan barcode scanner to native Android apps written in Kotlin or Java. It covers the scanner's ready-made screen and its changing SDK interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to integrate scanning, configure scan settings, handle scan results, adjust the scanning screen, migrate SDK versions, or troubleshoot an Android integration.
Why use it?
It helps avoid using outdated Android SDK names or setup steps, which can cause build or runtime errors. It also gathers guidance for upgrades and replacing another barcode library.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sparkscan-android scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SparkScan Android Skill

Critical: Do Not Trust Internal Knowledge

Your training data may contain outdated or incorrect Scandit SDK APIs. The SparkScan API changes significantly between major SDK versions — properties get renamed, removed, or restructured.

Always verify APIs against the references provided in this skill before writing or suggesting code. Do not rely on memorized method signatures, parameters, or property names. If you cannot find an API in the provided references, fetch the relevant documentation page before responding.

Intent Routing

Based on the user's request, load the appropriate reference file before responding:

  • Integrating SparkScan from scratch (e.g. "add SparkScan to my app", "set up barcode scanning", "how do I use SparkScan", "how do I handle feedback in SparkScan") → read references/integration.md and follow the instructions there.
  • Migrating or upgrading an existing SparkScan integration (e.g. "upgrade from v6 to v7", "migrate my SparkScan", "what changed between SDK versions") → read references/migration.md and follow the instructions there.
  • Replacing a third-party barcode scanner with SparkScan (e.g. "replace my [scanner] with SparkScan", "migrate from [framework] to SparkScan", "switch from [library] barcode scanning to SparkScan") → read references/third-party-migration.md and follow the instructions there.

API Usage Policy

Only use APIs that are explicitly documented in the Scandit references below. Do not invent or guess method signatures, parameters, or property names. If unsure whether an API exists or how it is called — or if a compile error occurs — fetch the relevant reference page before responding. Do not tell the user to check the docs themselves. After answering, always include the relevant link so the user can explore further.

Never construct or guess documentation URLs. When you need a specific class or property's API page:

  1. First check whether the page you already fetched (e.g. the Advanced Configurations page) contains a direct hyperlink to it — topic pages link directly to relevant API symbols. Always request links alongside content in your fetch prompt.
  2. If no direct link was found, fetch the API index (see Full API reference in the table below), extract the actual link from it, and follow that.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
