No Result From Barcode Scanner - android

I'm using ZXING IntentIntegrator in order to read a URL.
I managed to launch the barcode scanner using:
IntentIntegrator integrator = new IntentIntegrator(List8.this);
dialog = integrator.initiateScan();
The barcode scanner indicated that a URL has been found and redirects me back to my application where I retrieve the information using:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == 0) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String contents = intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT");
String format = intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT_FORMAT");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), contents, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
// Handle successful scan
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// Handle cancel
}
}
}
The problem is that even thought a URL has been found the requestCode is -1 and the intent has no data.
Does anyone have any idea what's the source of my problem?
P.S.
I tried implementing onActivityResultListener but got the following error:
The return type is incompatible with PreferenceManager.OnActivityResultListener.onActivityResult(int, int,
Intent)

Why do you expect the resultCode to be not -1? The resultCode is used to determine the intention, the "why" you have called the activity for result. Nothing more, nothing less... I would just remove the if (requestCode == 0) as it isn't really important.

Are you sure you aren't looking at resultCode? The value of RESULT_OK is in fact -1 (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#RESULT_OK).
If you are using the integration code, then requestCode will be 0xC0DE actually. But, you don't need to bother with these details and getting them right if you just use IntentIntegrator.parseActivityResult() from the project. See the javadoc which shows how to use this fully.

IllegalStateException on sign to Google api client

I am getting the following error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot use sign-in mode: SIGN_IN_MODE_OPTIONAL. Mode was already set to SIGN_IN_MODE_NONE
What does this mean? How to prevent it?
The suggestion in other similar SO question was
mGoogleApiClient.connect(GoogleApiClient.SIGN_IN_MODE_OPTIONAL);
But I have been using this itself.
Here is the onActivityResult
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_OAUTH) {
authInProgress = false;
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
if (!googleApiClient.isConnecting() && !googleApiClient.isConnected()) {
googleApiClient.connect(GoogleApiClient.SIGN_IN_MODE_OPTIONAL);
} else {
onConnected(null);
}
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
startApiClientConnect();
}
} else {
progressDialog.dismiss();
startApiClientConnect();
}
}
After the initial connection attempt if it was not successful then the googleApiClient.connect is reattempted in the onActivityResult. I believe this is reattempt is causing the problem. After initial connection failure / some user action makes the SIGN_IN_MODE_NONE.
How to handle this?
It looks like you're not allowed to provide a sign in mode to the connect(int) method more than once. The documentation says "It is an error to make multiple calls to this method passing different modes. Once a mode is selected, all future connect calls must use the same mode." So it might be that you're calling connect() with differing arguments. SIGN_IN_MODE_NONE doesn't seems to be an option for the parameter, so I think you're calling connect() in one case and connect(int) in another (with SIGN_IN_MODE_OPTIONAL). Check that out and see if you can make them consistent.
Also, I believe callbacks for GoogleApiClient are onConnected(Bundle) and onConnectionFailed(ConnectionResult)

React Native(Android) Scan QRCode

I wanna write a native module for to scan barcode but it too hard for me to figure out a way to handle the result without adding a method to the MainActivity. It's not a good idea to modify the MainActivity such heavily because it's no easy job for application developers who writes javascript to use the module.
For example, if I use ZXing Android Embedded: https://github.com/journeyapps/zxing-android-embedded, I have to add a method to MainActivity to handle the result.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
IntentResult result = IntentIntegrator.parseActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(result != null) {
if(result.getContents() == null) {
Toast.makeText(this, "Cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "Scanned: " + result.getContents(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
} else {
// This is important, otherwise the result will not be passed to the fragment
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
}
That makes an issue that any one who uses this module has to modify their MainActivity, which means the module is hard to use. So, any ideas to work it out?
You can just use react-native-rn-zxing:
npm i react-native-rn-zxing
then link it :
react-native link react-native-rn-zxing

Barcode app Scan result display on screen

I am trying to make a barcode scanning app. I am stuck at the point where I am able to scan the barcode but now I want to show the barcode image along with decoded barcode number and other details on the screen and then provide a button to proceed to next screen. How should I go about it? I am unable to understand should I call an intent to new activity or the layout view. If I call the new activity, how do I pass the barcode that's decoded and other details to new activity?
Help.
Want something like this after scanning a barcode:
you can get and use that barcode anywhere, as:
uid is a textview where i have added the result from ZXing (Zebra Crossing) library activity.:
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == 0) {
Log.e("test 1",String.valueOf(requestCode));
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Log.e("test 2",intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT_FORMAT"));
Log.e("test 3",intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT"));
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT"), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
uid.setText(intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT")) ;
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
Log.e("test 4",String.valueOf(requestCode));
}
}
}
Over Image you are seeing in sample image is a generated barcode not a actual picture captured from the camera.
For this you can use iText is a great Java PDF library. They also have an API for creating barcodes. You don't need to be creating a PDF to use it.
BarcodeEAN codeEAN = new BarcodeEAN();
codeEAN.setCodeType(codeEAN.EAN13);
codeEAN.setCode("9780201615883");
Image imageEAN = codeEAN.createImageWithBarcode(cb, null, null);

Android Zxing (barcode library). How to change the after scan intent

I am developing an Android application, I need to embed the Zxing scanner. The application should allow the user to scan a QR Code and then store the QR code ID of the product and parse it from an XML file. As yet, I have used the simple code:
Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
intent.setPackage(getPackageName());
intent.putExtra("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN.SCAN_MODE", "QR_CODE_MODE");
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
What this code does is, scans the product and bring me back to the previous screen of my app. I haven't included the entire library from Zxing as I wanted the Barcode scanner to handle it, but it seems I have to do more than I already have done.
You need to make an onActivityResult method that will get the callback once barcode scanner is done. Inside there you will handle the code string and do whatever you like with it.
/*Here is where we come back after the Barcode Scanner is done*/
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == 0) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
// contents contains whatever the code was
String contents = intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT");
// Format contains the type of code i.e. UPC, EAN, QRCode etc...
String format = intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT_FORMAT");
// Handle successful scan
Log.i("TAG",format + "\t" + contents);
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// Handle cancel. If the user presses 'back' before a code is scanned.
Log.i("TAG","Canceled");
}
}
}
This example just logs the results, you'll need to expand upon it to do whatever you want with the info you get back from the scanner.
Better still, use the IntentIntegrator class supplied with the project. It wraps up all the details listed here and its documentation already tells you exactly how to integrate it into your app. It deals with things for you like getting the app installed if not already.

Android Using mediaStore

The Android platform have a number of "ready easy use" dialog such as
ProgressDialog, DatePickerDialog and TimePickerDialog, these are fire and wait
boxes, that is, they handle UI, right data and return something.
Is there a similar dialogbox for the mediastorage ?
I want something like "AudioFilePickerDialog" which shows a UI to the user
where the user pick a audio file and return the path/uri to the audio file.
Do I need to build this dialog box up myself or does it exists somewhere ?
One of the few examples I have found is
Given an Android music playlist name, how can one find the songs in the playlist?
but this handles playlists.
/Stefan
I found a tutorial for something like a FileChooser here. You should be able to make it only show Music-Files (like .mp3).
Also, to browser the SDcard of your Android Device, you can use the standard Java File-class, like in normal Java.
Try this
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, MediaStore.Audio.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, REQUEST_MEDIA);//REQUEST_MEDIA is some const int to operate with in onActivityResult
here you'll be brought a dialog (activity tbh) to choose an audio from mediastore.
Handle the result in onActivityResult:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == REQUEST_MEDIA && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String audioID = data.getDataString();
...
}
}
