Here is my Manifest Declaration. 

<activity android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden">
<intent-filter>
  <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
  <action android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN"/>
  <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>

Here is when/where the error occurs:

public void onClick(View v){
 Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
 intent.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "QR_CODE_MODE");
 startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
 }

It works alright when I select a random QR code reader I have but when I use the application as a QR code reader it gives this error.

Im a bit confused as to why it is doing it... I have the core.jar in my referenced libraries in my eclipse project also... maybe the core isn't full?

Solution

  • Already answered this on the mailing list. You need to remove all usage of android/ and core/ in your project. None of this was supposed to be present in the first place. Please read and follow http://code.google.com/p/zxing/wiki/ScanningViaIntent
