Barcode Scanner

[zemmo]

Hi everybody,
I have a Samsung Tab 4 and I have a small problem.
I connected a Bluetooth Barcode Scanner its works like a keyboard and native keyboard it's hide.
But I need to use same time native keyboard with Barcode Scanner.

Can I enable the native keyboard?
Happy christmas
Thx In advance.

Welcome to Android Central! If the barcode scanner is acting as a keyboard, then I don't think you can have the onscreen keyboard working at the same time.

What are you using the scanner for? Can you use a barcode scanner app instead (which uses the camera to image the barcode)?

Thx for the quick responce.
I need to use it in a warehouse for checks items.
I use a simply web page but for complete description or others fileds I need to use native Keyboard.

Excuse for my bad english..

Thx in advance

So would you be able to use a barcode scanner app, instead of a physical Bluetooth scanner?
