How to use Zxing in android [duplicate] - android

This question already has answers here:
Integrating the ZXing library directly into my Android application
(17 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I am new to Zxing. I am doing barcode conversion using zxing in my android application. Can anyone guide me how to include zxing to android device.

If the zxing barcode scanner is installed in the mobile, its very easy:
Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
intent.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "PRODUCT_MODE");//for Qr code, its "QR_CODE_MODE" instead of "PRODUCT_MODE"
intent.putExtra("SAVE_HISTORY", false);//this stops saving ur barcode in barcode scanner app's history
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
and in OnActivityResult:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (requestCode == 0) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String contents = data.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT"); //this is the result
} else
if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// Handle cancel
}
}
}
If its not installed: u can put this code in try-catch block and catching the exception, u can do this:
Uri marketUri = Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android");
Intent marketIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,marketUri);
startActivity(marketIntent);
So it redirects the app to android market and ur app continues running once if the barcode scanner is installed.
If u dont want to use the other app in ur app, U have to download zxing library and try using the classes from core.jar file(it is created using apache ant). Follow this tutorial to do that: https://github.com/zxing/zxing/wiki/Getting-Started-Developing
All Intent options can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/zxing/source/browse/trunk/android/src/com/google/zxing/client/android/Intents.java

You need to download the Zing's .Jar file & add in to your application folder. Then you can call classes & methods of it.

Step by step to setup zxing 3.2.1 in eclipse
Download zxing-master.zip from "https://github.com/zxing/zxing"
Unzip zxing-master.zip, Use eclipse to import "android" project in zxing-master
Download core-3.2.1.jar from "http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/zxing/core/3.2.1/"
Create "libs" folder in "android" project and paste cor-3.2.1.jar into the libs folder
Click on project: choose "properties" -> "Java Compiler" to change level to 1.7. Then click on "Android" change "Project build target" to android 4.4.2+, because using 1.7 requires compiling with Android 4.4
If "CameraConfigurationUtils.java" don't exist in "zxing-master/android/app/src/main/java/com/google/zxing/client/android/camera/". You can copy it from "zxing-master/android-core/src/main/java/com/google/zxing/client/android/camera/" and paste to your project.
Clean and build project. If your project show error about "switch - case", you should change them to "if - else".
Completed. Clean and build project

onActivityResult can't triggered when add flutter module to android project

step:
1.add a plugin created myself to flutter module project
2.run it, and onActivityResult can invoke
3.add flutter module project to android
4.run it, and onActivityResult can't invoke
demo projects:
flutter module with a simple plugin, look at testplugin
android project with flutter module, look at TestPluginAndroid
I found a temporary solution, override onActivityResult in Activity, and do it the following way:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, #Nullable Intent data) {
mFlutterView.getPluginRegistry().onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}
If you are using FlutterFragment, in Native app, then you may call below method.
flutterFragment.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
hope it helps somebody.

Debugging Android in custom libraries

I have just created a react-native library using react-native-create-library and imported it into my master react-native project.
There are some issues I'm having because (honestly) I lack the knowledge.
The problem is that there are no errors (using logcat) and I don't know how I can debug the android part of my imported library.
Example
public class RNZappsCameraModule extends ReactContextBaseJavaModule
implements ActivityEventListener {
#ReactMethod
public void myJavascriptMethod() {
// I want a breakpoint here
// cameraIntent initialization happens here
try
{
currentActivity.startActivityForResult(cameraIntent, requestCode);
}
catch (ActivityNotFoundException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(Activity activity, int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
// I want a breakpoint here
}
}
The camera intent starts fine, but I believe onActivityResult is never hit.
I know I could log everything and read it, but that won't explain why the result is never returned to my app since there are no errors in the first place.
Google and the official RN documentation are not being my friend at the moment, so please put me on the right track.
Found it.
No rocket science here. I don't know how I managed to do it in the end...
Anyheeew, to give this question a reasonable answer for passers-by...
First off, you need a react-native (master) project in order to actually run your library in a react-native context.
So create it and import your library. The easiest way to do this is by pushing your library into a git repository and adding your library in the package.json of you master project like this:
"react-native-your-package": "git+https://your-git-url-here",
Now install it: npm install react-native-your-package
In order to debug your library:
Open the android project of your react-native project in Android Studio
In menu => view => Tool window, click Build Variants
The new window displays the build types for you project and loaded modules
Click the Build Variant dropdown next to the module you want to debug and select 'debug'
Debug the master Android project
In the projects view, you can expand your module and place breakpoints where ever you like
Click the debug button and fix errors you never head of

Acr.Biometrics Xamarin plugin

I create Xamarin.Forms app and use Acr.Biometrics plugin. In PCL I check available finger print for device.
private async void AvailableBiometric()
{
bool available = await Biometrics.Instance.IsAvailable();
lblStatus.Text = available ? "Yes" : "No";
}
When I launch my app on Windows 10 emulator (UWP project), I get result false ("NO") and it's correct. But when I launch app on Android 6.0 (Emulator or real device with finger authorization), I get Exception "".
I find source code this plugis on GitHub. My Exception generate this plugin's code:
I don't understand what do I wrong and why for Windows app this Exception did not generate. If who know, please, help me.
I don't understand what do I wrong and why for Windows app this Exception did not generate.
I tried to only install Acr.Biometrics Package to PCL, and debugged UWP project. It also threw the exception.
If you want to use lib of Acr.Biometrics in Android and UWP platform,
please make sure you have installed Acr.Biometrics nuget package to Android and UWP project.
You can right click your solution--> Manage NuGet Package for solution-->select the Installedbutton-->left click Acr.Biometrics NuGet Package.
Check the xxx.Droid project option.And then press the install button. The installation is done later.
For Android support, you need to add the following to your AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="com.samsung.android.providers.context.permission.WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT" />
Usage
In your shared/PCL library, simply check if the sensor is available:
protected async override void OnAppearing()
{
base.OnAppearing();
if (await Biometrics.Instance.IsAvailable())
{
var success = await Biometrics.Instance.Evaluate("Your custom message");
if (success)
{
//do some stuff
}
}
}

How to setup alljoyn sdk in android?

I am trying to setup two android devices to communicate with each other through wifi. Some of the links I have gone through suggest alljoyn sdk in order to accomplish this.
There is an sdk download but there is no documentation for how to setup environment.
Here is how to set up an AllJoyn SDK development environment with android studio:
Download the SDK from this page. Go for Android Core SDK - release (or debug).
Create a new blank android project.
Create directory <project>/app/src/main/jniLibs and <project>/app/src/main/jniLibs/armeabi.
From alljoyn-15.09.00-rel/java/jar copy alljoyn.jar and from alljoyn-15.09.00-rel/java/lib copy liballjoyn_java.so. The directory to copy from might differ depending on the current version and your release/debug choice.
Put alljoyn.jar in /jniLibs and put liballjoyn_java.so in /jniLibs/armeabi. Should look like this
Right click project -> Open Module Settings -> app -> Dependencies.
With the green [+] button, add a file dependency.
Navigate to <project>/app/src/main/jniLibs/alljoyn.jar and select that jar.
This will add a line in your gradle (compile files('src/main/jniLibs/alljoyn.jar')) that will allow for code completion etc.
In the file where you want to use alljoyn code, include this snippet
/* Load the native alljoyn_java library. */
static {
System.loadLibrary("alljoyn_java");
}
for example:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
/* Load the native alljoyn_java library. */
static {
System.loadLibrary("alljoyn_java");
}
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
}
}
You can now use the alljoyn SDK. Import classes with
import org.alljoyn.bus.BusAttachment;
import org.alljoyn.bus.BusException;
import org.alljoyn.bus.BusListener;
etc.
If you're more of an eclipse guy, check this official documentation page on how to setup an eclipse environment.

Integrate ZXing QR code scanner without installing BarCode Scanner

I am trying to Integrate ZXing QR Code into my android app without installing BarCode Scanner app, I have followed the steps as:
1) Firstly I have downloaded ZXing.zip file and extract it
2)open the ZXing project as an android existing project and then go to android folder and open the android folder and also include core.jar file into the ZXing project named CaptureActivity.
3)I have used the CaptureActivity project as a library in my project named 'QRCodeSample'.
(Problem in including CaptureActivity as a library)
4)My code is as below3:
public class QRCodeSampleActivity extends Activity {
Button b1;
static String contents;
public static final int REQUEST_CODE = 1;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
b1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
/*Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
intent.putExtra("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN.SCAN_MODE",
"QR_CODE_MODE");
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);*/
Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
intent.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "QR_CODE_MODE");
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}
});
}
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == 0) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
contents = intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT");
String format = intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT_FORMAT");
Log.i("Barcode Result", contents);
Intent i1 = new Intent(QRCodeSampleActivity.this, webclass.class);
startActivity(i1);
// Handle successful scan
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// Handle cancel
Log.i("Barcode Result","Result canceled");
}
}
}
}
The manifest file is :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:name=".QRCodeSampleActivity" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity android:name=".webclass"></activity>
</application>
</manifest>
and its not adding library also
When I am trying to run my project,the error msg is:
Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{com.qr.code/com.qr.code}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.qr.code in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/data/app/com.qr.code-1.apk]
Finally I got the answer,
As of ADT 14,the resource fields(such as R.id.decode) are no longer constants when defined in library projects
So in the ZXing library->android->com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivityHandler.java and DecodeHandler.java
Replace both of these classes switch case statements with if-else,and then import this ZXing library into your project..
Rest of the coding of my own project is same...just the problem with the library classes as these are not updated as according to ADT 14..

For all those Android Studio/Gradle users out there
Okay guys, as my task today was to integrate ZXING into an Android application and there were no good sources for input all over, I will give you a hint what made my be successful - cause it turned out to be very easy (on version 2.*).
There is a real handy git repository that provides the zxing android library project as an AAR archive.
https://github.com/embarkmobile/zxing-android-minimal
All you have to do is add this to your build.gradle
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
url "https://raw.github.com/embarkmobile/zxing-android-minimal/mvn-repo/maven-repository/"
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.zxing:core:2.2'
compile 'com.embarkmobile:zxing-android-minimal:1.2.1#aar'
}
and Gradle does all the magic to compile the code and makes it accessible in your app.
To start the Scanner afterwards, use this class/method:
IntentIntegrator.initiateScan(this); // `this` is the current Activity
If you already visited the link you gonna see that i just copy&pasted the code from there the git readme. If not go there to get some more insight and code examples!
Hope to be helpful for future readers. Peace :)
I had the same Problem and after hours struggling with it I finally managed to solve it like this. as Rubiraj is pointing
*Right Click on your project > Properties > Android > (under tab library) Add the Zxing project *
Assuming you were able to correctly create Zxing project as a Library as it is explained here :
http://damianflannery.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/integrate-zxing-barcode-scanner-into-your-android-app-natively-using-eclipse/
You need to follow step as given by the link
http://www.androidaz.com/development/zxing-qr-reader-direct-integration
you can download core.jar from
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/zxing/core/2.2/
The above is working for me, if your program still just put the core-2.2.jar in libs and clean your project
MaterialBarcodeScanner: Easy to use barcode reader for your Android Project (Uses Google Mobile Vision API).
Provide gradle dependency
compile 'com.edwardvanraak:MaterialBarcodeScanner:0.0.6-ALPHA'
Build a MaterialBarcodeScanner
private void startScan() {
/**
* Build a new MaterialBarcodeScanner
*/
final MaterialBarcodeScanner mBarcodeScanner
= new MaterialBarcodeScannerBuilder()
.withActivity(MainActivity.this)
.withEnableAutoFocus(true)
.withBleepEnabled(true)
.withBackfacingCamera()
.withText("Scanning...")
.withResultListener(new MaterialBarcodeScanner.OnResultListener() {
#Override
public void onResult(Barcode barcode) {
barcodeResult = barcode;
result.setText(barcode.rawValue);
}
})
.build();
mBarcodeScanner.startScan();
}
Hook it up to a button
fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
startScan();
}
});
Start scanning!

Clean and build project. If your project show error about "switch - case", you should change them to "if - else".
Completed. Clean and build project. You can click on "Proprties" > "Android" > click on "Is Libraries" to use for your project
After importing Zxing as existing project, Properties > Java Buildpath > Check "is library" (check button) and then try to add Zxing as library.
Make sure webclass.class exist in your QRcodesampleActivity.java
