Question about this request. Is the idea to have the barcode type listed when displaying the barcode (for example, when showing it at a store)? Or, is the idea to show the barcode type when creating a barcode?

I can see that showing the barcode type could be useful when creating a barcode, and even when editing a barcode (to confirm that it is the expected type). Is there a good use case for showing the barcode type when presenting a barcode at a store?

Totally agree with the point to show the barcode type when creating /editing the barcode.

For the second scenario, I used to work in a pub where you need to choose the barcode type when you introduce the number manually. I don't know how common is that situation but otherwise the employee should be able to identify the barcode type, although I assume that they will use always the same type.

Given this, is there any opposition to having brarcher/loyalty-card-locker#333 add the barcode type to the following two places instead:

1. Manually entering a barcode. Maybe something like

2. Editing a card

(Forgive that the mockups are not using the same font as the rest of the app).

Further, as there is no driving use case for displaying the type when displaying the barcode in the LoyaltyCardViewActivity, doing so would not be included.

I'm closing this issue as this has been implemented.
