An Android barcode scanning library built on the ZXing decoder, usable via Intents or embedded in an Activity for custom UI. It supports portrait and landscape scanning with camera handling on a background thread.
Use cases
- scan qr codes in an android app
- add barcode scanning to my app without a separate scanner app
- embed a camera barcode scanner view in an activity
- read barcodes via intent with minimal code
- support portrait and landscape barcode scanning
When to choose
- you need barcode/QR scanning in an Android app with minimal code via Intents
- you want an embeddable scanner view with customizable UI and logic
- you need fast camera startup and orientation flexibility
When to avoid
- you need ML-based scanning of damaged or low-quality barcodes (consider ML Kit)
- your project targets SDK below 24 and you cannot configure desugaring or downgrade zxing:core
- you need scanning on non-Android platforms
