Android Question [SOLVED] Barcode Scanners | Works on step thru debugging, not on normal run

[konradwalsh]

I am clearly doing some thing wrong..
I have tried all 3 Barcode libraries and classes and I have the same issue with all of them..

I tie the Scanner to a button called scan now
it crashes the app with

android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0

If I put a breakpoint here and step through line by line.. I works fine....

Private zx1 As ZxingBarcodeScanner

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout")

    zx1.LaserColor = Colors.Yellow
    zx1.MaskColor = Colors.ARGB(70, 100, 10, 100)
    zx1.BorderColor = Colors.Magenta
    zx1.BorderStrokeWidth = 1
    zx1.BorderLineLength = 10
    zx1.Visible = True

  
End Sub

Sub btnScanBarcode_Click
  
zx1.Visible = True
    zx1.startScanner

End Sub

I think you are missing some resources files .
Do these libraries need any #AdditionalRes ?

if he is using https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...er-that-is-100-embedded-in-b4a.63764/#content this lib. The ressources are inside the example project as files in the RES folder which needs to be set to readonly before compiling

Thanks.. I didn't think of this as I was having the issue with samples I downloaded as well as my own app.. but using the script to mark readonly seems to have fixed it up

thanks very much
