[Android] PDF417 cannot be read when barcode is parallel to the phone screen

[bosung90]

Steps to reproduce

1. react-native init AppName
2. npm install react-native-camera@https://github.com/lwansbrough/react-native-camera.git --save
3. react-native link react-native-camera
4. Add onBarCodeRead and barCodeTypes to Camera as props

onBarCodeRead={(data) => {
                alert(data.data)
              }}
              barCodeTypes={['pdf417']}

Expected behaviour

PDF417 should be read successfully regardless of rather phone is parallel or perpendicular to the barcode

Actual behaviour

PDF417 barcode is only successfully read when the barcode is perpendicular to the phone.

I'm having a similar problem where the barcode isn't being read in landscape view - only portrait. I have to turn the device 90 degrees.
