Following this tutorial(http://www.truiton.com/2015/06/android-tabs-example-fragments-viewpager/), I made Android tabs With fragments and ViewPager. So far I added a QR code scanner (using Barcode Scanner library based on ZXing) to one of the fragments and that is working fine.
The problem is that when I go to other tabs(fragments), the camera itself keeps working internally(the internal camera doesn't stop). So even though I don't see a camera on the screen on different fragments, when I place my phone (the camera part) close to a QR code, it reads it and start a new activity.
So how can I stop camera when I go to other fragments?
This is the fragment for my QR code scanner.
public class TabFragment1 extends Fragment implements ZXingScannerView.ResultHandler
{
private ZXingScannerView mScannerView;
private LinearLayout qrCameraLayout;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_fragment_1, container, false);
qrCameraLayout = (LinearLayout) v.findViewById(R.id.ll_qrcamera);
mScannerView = new ZXingScannerView(getActivity().getApplicationContext());
mScannerView.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
qrCameraLayout.addView(mScannerView);
List<BarcodeFormat> formats = new ArrayList<>();
formats.add(BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE);
mScannerView.setFormats(formats);
return v;
}
@Override
public void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
mScannerView.setResultHandler(this); // Register ourselves as a handler for scan results.
mScannerView.startCamera(); // Start camera on resume
}
@Override
public void onPause()
{
super.onPause();
mScannerView.stopCamera();
}
@Override
public void handleResult(final Result result)
{
//handling results
}
I have tried some way to get solve this problem and finally got the solution.
public void handleResult(Result result) {
//Hold result
Log.e("handler", result.getText()); // Prints scan results
Log.e("handler", result.getBarcodeFormat().toString()); // Prints the scan format (qrcode)
mScannerView.removeAllViews(); //<- here remove all the views, it will make an Activity having no View
mScannerView.stopCamera(); //<- then stop the camera
setContentView(R.layout.activity_Main); //<- and set the View again.
final String vString = result.getText();
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Toast.makeText(mContext,vString,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
// to resume scanning
// mScannerView.resumeCameraPreview(this);<br />
}
}
Setting the ContentView
again solved the issue for m
