Description

The scan process starts automatically when the plugin gets activated. We have implemented your plugin into a stock maintenance app for testing. We have printouts each with about 10 barcodes on it and when we hold a phone above the sheet, the plugin immediately recognizes a barcode, but not always the correct one.

A button or tap event for starting scanning would be a great improvement, so that initially it's only a preview.

Thanks in advance !

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a manual trigger (button or tap) to start scanning instead of automatic scanning on plugin activation. Investigate the existing scan initiation code and add a method/event to start scanning manually.
