We need to run the EB.barcode function from another application. To test this, we built the tutorial provided by Zebra, barcode.html, which references ebapi-modules.js. We put this in a folder called ZebraScanner – just those two files.
When this folder is placed in the /Android/data/com.symbol.enterprisebrowser folder – and the Config.xml file is modified to set barcode.html as the start page – it works perfectly.
When this folder is placed in the /Download folder .. this popup appears:
{"method":"getDefaultID","params":
[],"_rhoClass":"Rho.Barcode","_rhoID
":"0","jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1}
_rhoNativeApiCall:prompt

You can only run the EB.Barcode function from within Zebra's Enterprise Browser. The webview exposed by that product exposes several addJavaScriptInterface calls that are required to execute the logic in ebapi-modules.js, hence why you are seeing that error. If you are trying to scan from within another browser such as Chrome or FireFox then a good approach is to use DataWedge with KeyPress & there is an article explaining how to do that at
