Barcode Scanning for AIR Mobile Apps

A Native Extension thats Fast and Smooth!

This library uses the ZBar Reader under the hood to provide barcode scanning for actionscript applications running on AIR Android or iOS.This supports QR Codes, EAN13, EAN8 and Many More!!

How To Use:

This library exposes APIs that will allow application developer to Scan the Barcodes in following two ways.

• From Live Camera Feed: You can place a camera feed (Rear or Front) using library APIs and just attach scanner to the feed to get DATA events whenever your Camera "sees" a Barcode.
• From Bitmap/Image: Developer can provide an arbitrary Image to Scan for a Barcode. (Work In Progress)

Get Started:

Step 1: Link The ANE : Get the Latest ANE File from the root of the repository. Add it as a dependency in your favourite IDE.

Note: Newer IDEs know what ANE means and you can link ANE files transperently. If you are using an older IDE, you may need to google a bit on how to link ANEs to your project.

Step 2: See the Samples: Have a look at some of the manual tests I have written which can explain different uses of the APIs.

Step 3: See the Documentation : I have tried my best to document the available APIs in the code.Read It!.
