Add comprehensive regex-based barcode filtering system (v1.29)
🔍 Advanced Barcode Filtering System • Implemented real-time regex pattern matching for selective barcode capture • Added foldable "Filtering" section in settings with enable checkbox and regex input • Integrated filtering with SharedPreferences and managed configuration support • Enhanced camera activity with live regex validation during barcode detection ⚙️ Filtering Capabilities • Numeric-only filtering for UPC/EAN codes • URL pattern matching for QR codes • Product code format validation • Serial number filtering • Custom regex pattern support 📚 Comprehensive Documentation • Created extensive regex pattern library (16-Common-Regex-Expressions.md) • Added 200+ regex patterns for: - Web URLs, IP addresses, MAC addresses - Protocol-specific URIs (FTP, SSH, SMTP, etc.) - Android system schemes and popular app deep links - Government IDs and social security numbers (22 countries) - Device identifiers (IMEI, phone numbers) - Industry standards (ISBN, ISIN, UPC, etc.) • Updated Android configuration guide with filtering setup • Added symbologies reference table with 46+ barcode types 🛠 Technical Implementation • Constants.java: Added filtering preference constants • SettingsActivity.java: Implemented filtering UI and persistence • CameraXLivePreviewActivity.java: Added real-time regex filtering • ManagedConfigurationReceiver.java: Enterprise filtering configuration • app_restrictions.xml: Updated managed config schema • Updated strings.xml and activity_setup.xml for UI components 🏢 Enterprise Features • Full MDM/EMM integration for remote filtering configuration • Real-time policy updates without app restart • Robust error handling with fallback behavior • Performance-optimized regex processing This release transforms the application into a precision tool for selective barcode capture, perfect for quality control, inventory management, and specialized data collection workflows. Files modified: - README.md, CHANGELOG.md (version documentation) - Constants.java, SettingsActivity.java, CameraXLivePreviewActivity.java - ManagedConfigurationReceiver.java, app_restrictions.xml - strings.xml, activity_setup.xml, arrays.xml - wiki/07-Android-App-Configuration.md - wiki/16-Common-Regex-Expressions.md (new)
