## What it is
An Android code scanner library built on top of ZXing that provides a customizable scanner view for reading barcodes and QR codes. It supports auto focus, flash control, touch focus, and multiple 1D and 2D barcode formats.

## Use cases
- scan qr codes in an android app
- read barcodes with the device camera
- add a qr code scanner to my android activity
- scan data matrix codes on android
- implement a barcode scanner with customizable viewfinder
- scan upc and ean product codes
- kotlin-friendly camera code scanning library

## When to choose
- you need an easy-to-embed barcode/QR scanner view in an Android app
- you want a customizable viewfinder with flash and autofocus controls
- you need support for many 1D and 2D barcode formats via ZXing

## When to avoid
- you need scanning from images or files rather than a live camera feed
- you are not targeting Android
- you need ML Kit-level accuracy or ML-based barcode detection

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: computer-vision, ui-components, sdk
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: barcode-scanner, qr-code, zxing, camera, android-library, android, mobile
