## Android companion app (wireless scanning)

There is an Android app that works together with this Flipper app: it connects to your
FlipperZero over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), scans a barcode or QR code with the phone's
camera, and sends the scanned value to the FlipperZero over the RPC protocol. The Flipper
app then relays the received value to the target device through the USB COM-port — no SD
card or `.bc` file required.

- Repository: [flipper-zero_bc_scanner_emulator-Android-app](https://github.com/polarikus/flipper-zero_bc_scanner_emulator-Android-app)

In this mode the app is launched with the `RPC` argument (the Android app does this
automatically once the FlipperZero is connected). The classic file-based emulation
described below is still available.
