making q.r. reader with zxing without installing external app using Android studio

Yes there are plenty of answers of this question on this site, but i am a newbie and having difficulties managing eclipse code examples in android studio. Suggest answers by considering me a beginner please(step by step). So many links, which to open? which projects library to embed? and which java files to be used in my case?

Solution

  • Consider this awesome open source project: https://github.com/dlazaro66/QRCodeReaderView It's easy to implement and you only need to add a dependency in your module's build.gradle (not the project one) 

    dependencies {
    ...
    compile 'com.dlazaro66.qrcodereaderview:qrcodereaderview:1.0.0'

}

    the rest is intuitive:

    • You use an element in your layout witch will be the QRCodeReaderView (take a look at the project's layout file)

    • You will need to add the permission to the manifest file

      <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.myawesomeapp">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />


<application
    ...
</application>

    Let me know if you have any questions
