barcodebuddy VS grocy-android

Not using them personally, but I guess Barcode Buddy and Grocy Android both do exactly that (and more).

I suppose you could see how grocy handles barcodes, https://github.com/Forceu/barcodebuddy

You can additionally install barcode buddy on a raspberry pi with an attached bluetooth barcode scanner to track the chores, by just scanning a custom barcode. In my experience it's the easiest and fastest way, aside from dedicated buttons, which would cost too much.

See maybe there or here or also have a look at Barcode Buddy.

It looks like at least one provider (OpenFoodFacts) provides a language tag, but BarcodeBuddy isn't doing anything with it. I would suggest opening an issue with the feature request: https://github.com/Forceu/barcodebuddy/issues

At the moment Barcode Buddy Federation is probably the closest existing solution - if you are using Barcode Buddy and enable Federation, you can lookup barcodes and receive the Grocy product name that other users have associated with this barcode.

for anyone coming to this thread in order to find a solution. The problem was a bug in the barcode buddy grabinput script (see https://github.com/Forceu/barcodebuddy/issues/170) . After fixing this everythins works as it should.

yeah, a mqtt integration would be a dream. I opened a feature request for barcode buddy but the maintainer has no time at the moment see: https://github.com/Forceu/barcodebuddy/issues/164

That said, if you're using Barcode Buddy, it looks like it can auto-populate fields for scanned items?

I know there is Grocy but it requires a self hosted instance... I just want a normal heading and list app (reminder is bonus), Currently i am using Lists it does all except it no longer actively developed and doesn't have Material You theme...

Seems like there wasn't a release/tag made for 3.0, but the android build manifest was updated with a new version. That is what's being checked by fdroid in case of the grocy app. There seems to be a changelog (raw), but I'm not sure it's complete, since no official release was being made. Since nightlys seem to exist now, maybe fdroid needs to adjust their auto-update mode, but that's just my observation.

Even with https://github.com/patzly/grocy-android?

I wanted to run grocy on my phone (android) without running my own server and being able to use it completely offline. The devs of the android-app mentioned that implementing offline transactions is a lot of work and therefore, understandably, not a priority and in this issue someone advised to use termux to set up grocy locally, so I made the attempt to run grocy through termux. Eventually I succeeded but termux has some peculiarities in comparison to a proper linux terminal, so the Installation guide was only a rough guideline.

If you're using an older version of app there was an issue when scanning grocycode with an external scanner or manually entering grocycode (https://github.com/patzly/grocy-android/issues/472) that was fixed in version 2.1.0.

Just stumbled upon the Android app[1] while randomly browsing F-Droid and thought I'd share the project as a whole. Kind of a bummer that the Android app doesn't support having a local database, but it's a very cool concept regardless.
