How to read barcodes with the camera on Android?

I want my application to recognize barcodes taken by camera. Is it possible using Android SDK?

Something like this: Barcode Scanner

Solution

  • It's not built into the SDK, but you can use the Zxing library. It's free, open source, and Apache-licensed.

    The 2016 recommendation is to use the Barcode API, which also works offline.
