Answer 4

You have to use http call to query the factual.com tables. Here are some http examples you have to call on your code: (after you have your api key)

http://api.v3.factual.com/t/products-cpg?q=shampoo

http://api.v3.factual.com/t/products-cpg?q=shampoo&filters={"brand":"pantene"}

http://api.v3.factual.com/t/products-cpg?filters={"upc":"052000131512"}

You can look on this page for more examples:

http://developer.factual.com/working-with-factual-products/

I think you are looking for this table field: upc_e = The UPC-E barcode used for identifying products. 8-digits in length.

The product table schema is here:

I solved my issue by placing php driver of factual in root directory of WAMP server.Instead of android, i use php driver. Now i am sending barcode form android device to WAMP (server) PHP driver.
