Integrating Zxing Barcode scanner to my android app

Question

I'm trying to integrate barcode scanner in my android app.

These are the things i have done:

1) i added core-3.2.1 module to my project. 2) added an activity

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<activity
android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity"
android:screenOrientation="landscape" >
</activity>

I'm getting that Cannot resolve symbol 'CaptureActivity'. What should i do more?

I have checked other stackoverflow posts but i'm unable to fix this.

You can add zxing library to your app via gradle dependency

just add this to your build.gradle file

compile 'com.google.zxing:core:3.2.1'
compile 'com.journeyapps:zxing-android-embedded:3.0.3@aar'

Now in your onCreate method of your activity , do the following

 IntentIntegrator scanIntegrator = new IntentIntegrator(MainActivity.this);
 scanIntegrator.setPrompt("Scan a Barcode");
 scanIntegrator.setBeepEnabled(true); 
 scanIntegrator.setOrientationLocked(true);
 scanIntegrator.setBarcodeImageEnabled(true);
 scanIntegrator.initiateScan();
