The attached project wraps the ZBAR part of this Github project. It looks very much the same as the project that I have posted here. Both projects use the same ViewFinder but they use different decoding engines (ZXING and ZBAR respectively).
I have not tested all the barcode formats but it should scan the following types:
BarcodeFormat.PARTIAL
BarcodeFormat.EAN8
BarcodeFormat.UPCE
BarcodeFormat.ISBN10
BarcodeFormat.UPCA
BarcodeFormat.EAN13
BarcodeFormat.ISBN13
BarcodeFormat.I25
BarcodeFormat.DATABAR
BarcodeFormat.DATABAR_EXP
BarcodeFormat.CODABAR
BarcodeFormat.CODE39
BarcodeFormat.PDF417
BarcodeFormat.QRCODE
BarcodeFormat.CODE93
BarcodeFormat.CODE128
There seems to be an issue with the scanning of PDF417 codes. I have emailed the author of the Github project (Dushyanth Maguluru) and brought it to his attention. Will update and post new library files once the issue with PDF417 codes has been resolved.
EDIT 26 Feb 2016: See this post as far as scanning of PDF417 is concerned
https://sourceforge.net/p/zbar/support-requests/76/
Please take note of the xml files in the /Objects/res/layout and Objects/res/values folders of the B4A project should you start a new project from scratch.
Posting the following:
1. B4A project demonstrating the Barcode Scanner using the ZBAR decoder
2. Library files - you need to download them from this link (too big to upload to this post) - unzip them and copy them to your additional library folder
Sample code:
The library:
ZbarBarcodeScanner
Author: Github: Dushyanth Maguluru, Wrapped by: Johan Schoeman
Version: 1
You can use it in portrait mode and landscape mode by changing the B4A project's attribute and the code in the Designer:
#SupportedOrientations: portrait
