Barcode Scanner Libraries for Android

Download

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it in your root settings.gradle at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
		}
	}

Add it in your settings.gradle.kts at the end of repositories:

	dependencyResolutionManagement {
		repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
		repositories {
			mavenCentral()
			maven { url = uri("https://jitpack.io") }
		}
	}

Add to pom.xml

	<repositories>
		<repository>
		    <id>jitpack.io</id>
		    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
		</repository>
	</repositories>

Add it in your build.sbt at the end of resolvers:

 
    resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"

Add it in your project.clj at the end of repositories:

 
    :repositories [["jitpack" "https://jitpack.io"]]

Step 2. Add the dependency

	dependencies {
		implementation 'com.github.OzTK:barcodescanner:1.8.4.2'
	}
	dependencies {
		implementation("com.github.OzTK:barcodescanner:1.8.4.2")
	}
	<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.github.OzTK</groupId>
	    <artifactId>barcodescanner</artifactId>
	    <version>1.8.4.2</version>
	</dependency>

                            
    libraryDependencies += "com.github.OzTK" % "barcodescanner" % "1.8.4.2"
        
        

                            
    :dependencies [[com.github.OzTK/barcodescanner "1.8.4.2"]]

Minor BREAKING CHANGE in 1.8.4

Version 1.8.4 introduces a couple of new changes:

  • Open Camera and handle preview frames in a separate HandlerThread (#1, #99): Though this has worked fine in my testing on 3 devices, I would advise you to test on your own devices before blindly releasing apps with this version. If you run into any issues please file a bug report.
  • Do not automatically stopCamera after a result is found #115: This means that upon a successful scan only the cameraPreview is stopped but the camera is not released. So previously if your code was calling mScannerView.startCamera() in the handleResult() method, please replace that with a call to mScannerView.resumeCameraPreview(this);

ZXing

Installation

Add the following dependency to your build.gradle file.

compile 'me.dm7.barcodescanner:zxing:1.8.4'

Simple Usage

1.) Add camera permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

2.) A very basic activity would look like this:

public class SimpleScannerActivity extends Activity implements ZXingScannerView.ResultHandler {
    private ZXingScannerView mScannerView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle state) {
        super.onCreate(state);
        mScannerView = new ZXingScannerView(this);   // Programmatically initialize the scanner view
        setContentView(mScannerView);                // Set the scanner view as the content view
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mScannerView.setResultHandler(this); // Register ourselves as a handler for scan results.
        mScannerView.startCamera();          // Start camera on resume
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        mScannerView.stopCamera();           // Stop camera on pause
    }

    @Override
    public void handleResult(Result rawResult) {
        // Do something with the result here
        Log.v(TAG, rawResult.getText()); // Prints scan results
        Log.v(TAG, rawResult.getBarcodeFormat().toString()); // Prints the scan format (qrcode, pdf417 etc.)

        // If you would like to resume scanning, call this method below:
        mScannerView.resumeCameraPreview(this);
    }
}

Please take a look at the [zxing/sample] (https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner/tree/master/zxing/sample) project for a full working example.

Advanced Usage

Take a look at the [ScannerActivity.java] (https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner/blob/master/zxing/sample/src/main/java/me/dm7/barcodescanner/zxing/sample/ScannerActivity.java) or [ScannerFragment.java] (https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner/blob/master/zxing/sample/src/main/java/me/dm7/barcodescanner/zxing/sample/ScannerFragment.java) classes to get an idea on advanced usage.

Interesting methods on the ZXingScannerView include:

// Toggle flash:
void setFlash(boolean);

// Toogle autofocus:
void setAutoFocus(boolean);

// Specify interested barcode formats:
void setFormats(List<BarcodeFormat> formats);

// Specify the cameraId to start with:
void startCamera(int cameraId);

Specify front-facing or rear-facing cameras by using the void startCamera(int cameraId); method.

ZBar

Installation

Add the following dependency to your build.gradle file.

compile 'me.dm7.barcodescanner:zbar:1.8.4'

Simple Usage

1.) Add camera permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

2.) A very basic activity would look like this:

public class SimpleScannerActivity extends Activity implements ZBarScannerView.ResultHandler {
    private ZBarScannerView mScannerView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle state) {
        super.onCreate(state);
        mScannerView = new ZBarScannerView(this);    // Programmatically initialize the scanner view
        setContentView(mScannerView);                // Set the scanner view as the content view
    }

    @Override
    public void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        mScannerView.setResultHandler(this); // Register ourselves as a handler for scan results.
        mScannerView.startCamera();          // Start camera on resume
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        mScannerView.stopCamera();           // Stop camera on pause
    }

    @Override
    public void handleResult(Result rawResult) {
        // Do something with the result here
        Log.v(TAG, rawResult.getContents()); // Prints scan results
        Log.v(TAG, rawResult.getBarcodeFormat().getName()); // Prints the scan format (qrcode, pdf417 etc.)

        // If you would like to resume scanning, call this method below:
        mScannerView.resumeCameraPreview(this);
    }
}

Please take a look at the [zbar/sample] (https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner/tree/master/zbar/sample) project for a full working example.

Rebuilding ZBar Libraries

mkdir some_work_dir
cd work_dir
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.14.tar.gz
tar zxvf libiconv-1.14.tar.gz

Patch the localcharset.c file: vim libiconv-1.14/libcharset/lib/localcharset.c

On line 48, add the following line of code:

#undef HAVE_LANGINFO_CODESET

Save the file and continue with steps below:

cd libiconv-1.14
./configure
cd ..
hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/zbar/code zbar-code
cd zbar-code/android
android update project -p . -t 'android-19'

Open jni/Android.mk file and add fPIC flag to LOCAL_C_FLAGS. Open jni/Application.mk file and specify APP_ABI targets as needed.

ant -Dndk.dir=$NDK_HOME  -Diconv.src=some_work_dir/libiconv-1.14 zbar-clean zbar-all

Upon completion you can grab the .so and .jar files from the libs folder.
