Android Barcode Reader API

[artsylar]

Hi,

I am planning to integrate a barcode reader to my application. Is there already a android API for that?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

It is very easy to integrate the barcode reader from zxing - you just launch it using an intent and receive the barcode content back as result.

Thank you for your reply. I was just wondering if android already provides their own package for that. thanks anyways.

If you want to integrate your barcode reader into your apk completelly, then you can use commercial android barcode api library like quickmarck or sd-toolkit ... Second one even royalty free, at least it was before.

I'd recommend using a barcode scanner SDK that also decodes barcodes in blurry images, such as our Scandit barcode scanner SDK for Android. There are lots of Android devices that have only a fixed focus camera and most (if not all) open source barcode scanner solutions do not support barcode scanning on such devices.

The Scandit barcode scanner SDK also comes with a free community edition and a product API that helps converting the barcode numbers into product names.

I am having the exact same confusion like this topic mentioned. The barcode scanner integration java questions had been making me stuck for a long time. Feel so fortuante that I cound see so many practical suggestions here. These sites for barcode software must be helpful to my current status.

Will it be possible to link your Scandit "Scanner" app to a third party keyboard app. Some of the QR codes I will be using won't be able to be scanned with the keyboard +qr code scanner app I'm currently using. Your Scandit App is scanning all of the QR Code labels I will be using.
