Anyline Livecoding is a barebones scaffolded Android App to use as a starting point to integrate the Anyline SDK.
If you're given this task ahead of the Interview, please check out the repo and make sure that you can successfully build and run the app contained within. You are not required to implement the task ahead of the interview. If you decide to do so ahead of the Interview, we will review the code you implemented together. Otherwise we will implement the task during the Interview.
Check out the repo and open with Android Studio.
Implement Barcode Scanning using (the latest version of) the Anyline SDK. Verbalize your thoughts and talk to your interviewer during this Pair Programming Exercise. Start by opening the project with Android Studio. When using Kotlin, you can use ScanActivity.kt as a starting point. If you want to use Java, create a new (Java) Activity and launch it from MainActivity.kt. Demonstrate your knowledge of working with Git, if possible.
Scan a Barcode and display the scanned value of the Barcode to the User. Feel free to add suggestions/improvements during the exercise (such as Tests, MVVM, small git commits, etc: anything you consider good coding practice).
