I need to connect a barcode scanner to my tablet computer. It works great with the barcode scanner connected to the micro USB port.
However while the barcode scanner is connected, the USB port on the tablet cannot be used for charging.
Is there a way to connect the barcode scanner to the tablet that allows the tablet to be connected to a wall outlet at the same time?
edit
To clarify: the tablet has only 1 USB port (micro USB). That USB port is the only way to charge the tablet while the tablet is powered on. So when another device (my barcode scanner) is connected to the tablet via said USB port, I cannot keep the tablet in charge. At some point I have to disconnect the barcode scanner from the tablet's micro USB port so I can charge the tablet.
