Hi Jean-Yves,

Controlling DataWedge through profile manager within EMDK for Android, is exemplified in a tutorial located here. Datawedge is typically used for scanner unaware application that are at play, essentially canned apps where code is unavailable or unwilling to mod code. However, for whatever reason DW can also be called through APIs and profile manager feature of EMDK, as your post is referring to.

In most cases, app development using EMDK for Android can simple just use the BacodeManager to control the scanner and therefore remove the need for using and managing DataWedge profiles. There is also an advanced tutorial on using Barcode API here.
