Android Question zBarcodescanner

[Mike Webster]

I have a really weird issue. I have two projects...one created about a year ago with an earlier version of B4A, the other just created yesterday. Both utilize the same version of CameraEX, both use the same version of the Camera library, both use the same version of (1.03) of ZBarCodeScanner, both have the same settings in the manifest for platform version (<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="28"/>), both have the same files in the res\Layout and res\Values folder. The fist project works fine. The second, using code cut and pasted from the first does not. It errors out saying that it failed to access the camera service.

One oddity that I did notice is that version 8.5 created two folders inside the res folder - res\values-V14 and res\Values\V-20. I tried copying the files from the res values folder into both of these as well as creating a standard "values" folder...still no dice.

Very confusing situation.

It is a mistake to set targetSdkVersion to 28. For now you should set it to 26.

The B4A version is not relevant.

Are you requesting the camera permission at runtime?
See the updated example: [Class] CameraEx - Extends the camera library functionality

Thanks Erel, I was not aware of those permission changes. Changing the SDK target worked. Will take a look at those permission issues as well.

Thanks Erel, I was not aware of those permission changes.

android.jar / targetSdkVersion / minSdkVersion
