How to remove annoying GS1 prefix

Apps
1

Dear all

I’ve tried out the F-Droid Barcode scanner for Android and it looks find so far. But there is a showstopper that every Barcode scanner for Android seems to have: They do not remove this annoying GS1 prefix (00). How can I filter this out because every Barcode scanner that put this shit in a line with the Barcode is useless to me, as I mostly use bar- and QR-Code to fill a web for (for example tracking of deliveries). Is this possible with your barcode reader or can you suggest me an alternative barcode reader for android. Preferably open source, as a don’t want to have a piece of shit that bothers me with ads or milks me yearly by money.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Hans

Hi, it was this one: Barcode Scanner, An open-source app that allows you to read and generate barcodes.

Next annoying thing is that can’t find any icons for this app on the Android screen.

If you’re mainly using the scanner to paste tracking numbers into forms, I can see why the 00 is annoying. It would be useful if the app had a setting to return the raw barcode value without GS1 formatting. Otherwise, filtering the first two characters before pasting could work, as long as 00 is always the prefix you’re trying to remove.
