@lukaschleba 🙂
I'm still try to understand if this feature is needed.

[lukaschleba]

I think it's not needed feature.

Let's give the community to decide 👨‍💻

I think it would be a great feature and a big plus if the android version uses zbar instead of zxing

[gran33]

Hi all, and thanks for the support.

I started to work on this feature today, you can see the process in qrcode branch.

The API will be as follow:
If the prop onReadQRCode provided to CameraKitCameraScreen or to CameraKitCamera the function will be called each time the native will detect QR code, with relevant data (will be written in the docs).

The camera view/screen won't freeze or stop when QR is been detected and if you would like do something after QR code detected it's your responsibility (like open a browser, etc)

What do you think?
Are there any edge cases I've missed?

@gran33
How long do you think it can be ready?

[gran33]

@jozekcore I don't want to promise, but I'll do me best.

Guys, happy to announce that the QR code reading in now part of the camera (iOS only), just add onReadQRCode={(event) => console.log(event.nativeEvent.qrcodeStringValue)}
to CameraKitCamera or CameraKitCameraScreen components, and have some fum with the QR codes 🍻

Thank you but without the Android counterpart i wont be able to switch from react-native-camera

Just for the QRCode Scanning I was searching for a new package other than react-native-camera, hope comes to Android soon

Eager to see android support added

Now I should use 2 libs to do one thing depending on platform?

@gran33 I was trying the onReadQRCode in the latest version and it does not get triggered - does it work in the current version ?

[dlucidone]

@gran33 The QRcode is not invoking? Is it working on ios?

[Sterlingryan]

So QRCode scanning is not supported on Android as of yet ?
