how to scan front side only?

[mihirmodiofficial]

i am using

        ActivityRunner.startActivityForResult(this, BLINK_CARD_REQUEST_CODE, settings)

but its ask for scanning both the side

Hello @mihirmodiofficial,

Since the BlinkCard v2.0 and higher is now a recognizer based on machine learning, it will search for the info you want to get from a card until it extracts it. That is, if it doesn't find the wanted info on the front side, it will ask you to scan the back side.

This is highly dependable on how the actual card is organized - for example, if the card you want to scan has CVV and IBAN on the back, you can set recognizer.setExtractCvv(false); recognizer.setExtractIban(false); , and it will scan only the front.

However, there are cards that have info such as expiry date on the back and in that case, it will ask you to scan the back side as well since it didn't find the wanted info on the front.

So, it is not actually possible to set the SDK to scan only the front of the card, unless you know the exact format of the cards you will scan and are sure that the info you want to extract will always be on the front of the card. In that case, you can disable scanning of the info you expect to find on the back and it will scan only the front.

Hope this helps!

@anjapenic @mihirmodiofficial @matvidako @Cerovec I want just single side scanning and i tried your solution and it is working fine. But, in iOS we get callback once the front side scanning is completed without setting any required fields so is there any other we can do the same thing in Android? Like any how we can set MetadataCallbacks and after that we can get callback in FirstSideRecognitionCallback.

Hello @divyangsolanki,

You will have to implement a Custom UI (we have a sample app for BlinkID SDK which showcases how to do that - https://github.com/BlinkID/blinkid-android/tree/master/BlinkIDSample/BlinkID-CustomUISample), and use RecognizerRunnerView, set the setFirstSideRecognitionCallback​ in MetadataCallbacks object.

Hope this helps, let us know if you require further assistance.

Best regards, Anja

@anjapenic Yes, by using this sample app i can get the front side scanning. Thank you for the quick response. @

recognizer.setExtractCvv(false); recognizer.setExtractIban(false);

how does it work now?

[df-nikhil]

recognizer.setExtractCvv(false); recognizer.setExtractIban(false);

Are these methods available for browser?
