Introduction

Android library projects that provides easy to use and extensible Barcode Scanner views based on ZXing and ZBar.

ZXing

Installation

Add the following dependency to your build.gradle file.

compile 'me.dm7.barcodescanner:zxing:1.8'

Simple Usage

1.) Add camera permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

2.) A very basic activity would look like this:

public class SimpleScannerActivity extends Activity implements ZXingScannerView.ResultHandler {
    private ZXingScannerView mScannerView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle state) {
        super.onCreate(state);
        mScannerView = new ZXingScannerView(this);   // Programmatically initialize the scanner view
        setContentView(mScannerView);                // Set the scanner view as the content view
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mScannerView.setResultHandler(this); // Register ourselves as a handler for scan results.
        mScannerView.startCamera();          // Start camera on resume
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        mScannerView.stopCamera();           // Stop camera on pause
    }

    @Override
    public void handleResult(Result rawResult) {
        // Do something with the result here
        Log.v(TAG, rawResult.getText()); // Prints scan results
        Log.v(TAG, rawResult.getBarcodeFormat().toString()); // Prints the scan format (qrcode, pdf417 etc.)
    }
}

Please take a look at the [zxing/sample] (https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner/tree/master/zxing/sample) project for a full working example.

Advanced Usage

Take a look at the [ScannerActivity.java] (https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner/blob/master/zxing/sample/src/main/java/me/dm7/barcodescanner/zxing/sample/ScannerActivity.java) or [ScannerFragment.java] (https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner/blob/master/zxing/sample/src/main/java/me/dm7/barcodescanner/zxing/sample/ScannerFragment.java) classes to get an idea on advanced usage.

Interesting methods on the ZXingScannerView include:

// Toggle flash:
void setFlash(boolean);

// Toogle autofocus:
void setAutoFocus(boolean);

// Specify interested barcode formats:
void setFormats(List<BarcodeFormat> formats);

// Specify the cameraId to start with:
void startCamera(int cameraId);

Specify front-facing or rear-facing cameras by using the void startCamera(int cameraId); method.

Supported Formats:

BarcodeFormat.UPC_A
BarcodeFormat.UPC_E
BarcodeFormat.EAN_13
BarcodeFormat.EAN_8
BarcodeFormat.RSS_14
BarcodeFormat.CODE_39
BarcodeFormat.CODE_93

ZBar

Installation

Add the following dependency to your build.gradle file.

compile 'me.dm7.barcodescanner:zbar:1.8'

Simple Usage

1.) Add camera permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

2.) A very basic activity would look like this:

public class SimpleScannerActivity extends Activity implements ZBarScannerView.ResultHandler {
    private ZBarScannerView mScannerView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle state) {
        super.onCreate(state);
        mScannerView = new ZBarScannerView(this);    // Programmatically initialize the scanner view
        setContentView(mScannerView);                // Set the scanner view as the content view
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mScannerView.setResultHandler(this); // Register ourselves as a handler for scan results.
        mScannerView.startCamera();          // Start camera on resume
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        mScannerView.stopCamera();           // Stop camera on pause
    }

    @Override
    public void handleResult(Result rawResult) {
        // Do something with the result here
        Log.v(TAG, rawResult.getContents()); // Prints scan results
        Log.v(TAG, rawResult.getBarcodeFormat().getName()); // Prints the scan format (qrcode, pdf417 etc.)
    }
}

Please take a look at the [zbar/sample] (https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner/tree/master/zbar/sample) project for a full working example.

Advanced Usage

Take a look at the [ScannerActivity.java] (https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner/blob/master/zbar/sample/src/main/java/me/dm7/barcodescanner/zbar/sample/ScannerActivity.java) or [ScannerFragment.java] (https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner/blob/master/zbar/sample/src/main/java/me/dm7/barcodescanner/zbar/sample/ScannerFragment.java) classes to get an idea on advanced usage.

Interesting methods on the ZBarScannerView include:

// Toggle flash:
void setFlash(boolean);

// Toogle autofocus:
void setAutoFocus(boolean);

// Specify interested barcode formats:
