Re: Events during Alert Box

I am using the Symbol MSR (Magnetic Stripe Reader). This library runs in two modes: buffered mode or unbuffered mode. Buffered mode requires the app to issue an arm to read command to the MSR. The app then sits waiting for the card to be swiped by the user. You cannot do anything else while

Events during Alert Box
