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.rusfearuth:zxing-lib-extended:'
	}
	dependencies {
		implementation("com.github.rusfearuth:zxing-lib-extended:")
	}
	<dependency>
	    <groupId>com.github.rusfearuth</groupId>
	    <artifactId>zxing-lib-extended</artifactId>
	    <version></version>
	</dependency>

                            
    libraryDependencies += "com.github.rusfearuth" % "zxing-lib-extended" % ""
        
        

                            
    :dependencies [[com.github.rusfearuth/zxing-lib-extended ""]]
        
        

Readme


ZXing Barcode Scanner Android library

This allows for you to directly embed ZXing into your application properly.

Please note: This does not contain enough (any more) to work as the normal ZXing application on it's own. Resources are missing and it will look crap. (The CaptureActivity and other stuff is to be removed when I get round to doing it).

Setup

Once cloned, you will need to deploy it via Maven. This is done by running mvn clean install.

In your application add it to pom.xml:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.zxing</groupId>
        <artifactId>android-lib</artifactId>
        <version>3.1</version>
        <type>apklib</type>
    </dependency>

If someone is a really nice person, they could deploy it to Maven Central (i have no idea).

Gradle support

Now, you can add zxing-lib-extended to your libraries directory and declare that into settings.gradle as

include ':libraries:zxing-lib-extended'

and default build.gradle:

compile project(':libraries:zxing-lib-extended')

How to use

You should only require the use of classes (my code) locaed in namespace zxing.library.

Everything is modernized into a Fragment, so you can add it to your layout like so:

<fragment class="zxing.library.ZXingFragment"
        android:id="@+id/scanner"
        android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" />

And by accessing the Fragment instance itself you can use setDecodeCallback() to set a new callback to fall down onto.

Also, in the callback you will need to ask the fragment to start rescanning using restartScanning() or restartScanningIn( <value-in-milliseconds> ). Like so:

final ZXingFragment xf = (ZXingFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.scanner);
    xf.setDecodeCallback(new DecodeCallback(){

		@Override
		public void handleBarcode(Result result, Bitmap arg1, float arg2) {
			Toast.makeText(HelloAndroidActivity.this, result.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
			xf.restartScanningIn(200);
		}
    	
    });

TODO

  • Remove un-needed code
  • Deploy to Maven Central somehow
  • Replace setDecodeCallback method to onAttach ZXingFragment
