I am trying to write a little program for the cash register using JSSC library. I have used that library to work on barcode scanner and it works fine and I get the return value from the scanner. But for cash register case, I do not get any value. Whenever the cash register is open, ringindicator = true and false when close. How do I create a listener to get the status of ringindicator in this case isRING() in SerialPort class. Thank you!
public class CashRegister implements SerialPortEventListener {
private SerialPort serialPort;
private CashRegisterCallBack callback;
public CashRegister(CashRegisterCallBack callback) {
this.callback = callback;
}
private boolean result;
public void startScan() {
try {
serialPort = new SerialPort("COM1");
if (serialPort.isOpened()) {
serialPort.closePort();
}
serialPort.openPort();//Open serial port
serialPort.addEventListener(this);
//Set params. Also you can set params by this string: serialPort.setParams(9600, 8, 1, 0);
serialPort.setParams(9600, 8, 1, 0);
//Triggers scanner in scanning mode
serialPort.writeByte((byte)7); // opens the register
} catch (SerialPortException ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
}
}
//doesnot get to this method when closed
@Override
public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event) {
boolean isDataAvailable = event.isRING();
//Check bytes count in the input buffer
System.out.println(isDataAvailable);
try {
this.callback.callback(isDataAvailable);
serialPort.writeString(new String(new byte[]{0x03}));
System.out.println("Close message sent");
serialPort.removeEventListener();
System.out.println("Event Listener removed");
serialPort.closePort();
System.out.println("Port Closed");
System.exit(0);
} catch (IOException | InterruptedException | SerialPortException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
public interface CashRegisterCallBack {
void callback(boolean result) throws IOException, InterruptedException;
}
