Welcome to CaptureSDK for Android/Java Documentation
====================================================

The CaptureSDK eases the communication between your application and Socket Mobile data capture devices.

This is the documentation for app developers who want to use the CaptureSDK to connect and read data using a Socket Mobile device.
Get started on the :ref:`Android library here` . If you are interested in the traditional java library, use the :ref:`Plain Java documentation here`.

The Android targeted SDK provides automatic handling of the Android application life cycle like releasing the Socket Mobile device when the application goes into the background.
The Plain Java SDK is a good candidate for implementation of the CaptureSDK into a different layer of the architecture that might not have an Activity or does not necessarily have the same life cycle as a regular Android application.
