Custom Qr Code Scanner

[alz10]

I just wanna share my custom Qr Code Scanner with scanBar that animates up and down

You need to install this first (Google them because their installation requires linking)

react-native-vector-icons
react-native-animatable

Just change the color, size of the following depending on your needs

const overlayColor = "rgba(0,0,0,0.5)"; // this gives us a black color with a 50% transparency

const rectDimensions = SCREEN_WIDTH * 0.65; // this is equivalent to 255 from a 393 device width
const rectBorderWidth = SCREEN_WIDTH * 0.005; // this is equivalent to 2 from a 393 device width
const rectBorderColor = "#fff";

const scanBarWidth = SCREEN_WIDTH * 0.46; // this is equivalent to 180 from a 393 device width
const scanBarHeight = SCREEN_WIDTH * 0.0025; //this is equivalent to 1 from a 393 device width
const scanBarColor = "red";  

const iconScanColor = "#fff";

Full Code

import React, { Component } from "react";

import { View, Dimensions, Text } from "react-native";

const SCREEN_HEIGHT = Dimensions.get("window").height;

how to scan just only the center small area? When we have 2 QR code on the screen, the first one without need to go to the center area is scanned!

[sharadkatre19]

Nice!! It's Amazing, Thanks!!@:D

[motogod]

Thanks for sharing the code.

But I found an issue it happens on

<View style={styles.bottomOverlay}>
  <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => alert('bottom)}><Text>Click</Text></TouchableOpacity></View>

onPress function won't trigger on Android. ( iOS is working )

I have no idea why.

If just test a code like this it's still not working with yellow background.

<QRCodeScanner
        showMarker
        onRead={onSuccess}
        cameraStyle={{ height: qrCodeHeight }}
        customMarker={
          <View style={styles.rectangleContainer}>
            <View style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: 'pink' }} onStartShouldSetResponder={() => alert('1')}><Text style={{ fontSize: 32 }}>1</Text></View>
            <View style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: 'blue' }} onStartShouldSetResponder={() => alert('2')}><Text style={{ fontSize: 32 }}>2</Text></View>
            <View style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: 'yellow' }} onStartShouldSetResponder={() => alert('3')}><Text style={{ fontSize: 32 }}>3</Text></View>
          </View>
        }
      />

Hi @alz10 , I tried this code and it's a nice design but I just need background color black transparent and the marker should be only curved edges, not a full square width with color. Can somebody have that code? Thanks in advance. :)
