Barcode directly from B4A without other apps

[adrianstanescu85]

Hi all

When scanning barcodes the most usual way here is to use XZing. That opens a new screen when scanning and requires installing XZing.

Someone mentioned this:
http://www.androidaz.com/development/zxing-qr-reader-direct-integration

Where one can also find the link to the source code to integrate the mechanism of XZing to a standalone app.
Unfortunatelly, this requires quite some Java to do.

Is there anyone who can adapt this to Basic4Android to make it work simply by adding a new library to the extras folder, then integrate a view and use it simply to scan barcodes, without the need of an extra app/screen?

Thank you!

Try this library: http://www.b4x.com/forum/additional...zxinglib-integration-version-icefairy333.html

Thank you for the help, very much appreciated! The sample works just fine, but I'd like to include that content of the scanning activity inside mine, like inside a panel or anything alike. Is there any way to do this easily?

Thank you!

I don't think that it is currently possible.

Is it possible with Android (not B4A) to contain an activity within a view? That would help this case (reflector) and many others.

I don't think that's possible, even the official Google apps such as Google Shopper have the scanner on a separate activity.
