Apps Step by step instructions for QR scanner?

Hi, I would like to program or build a QR scanner for Android. However, I know nothing about programming so I would need a step by step instruction.

I have sucessfully used MIT App Inventor to make a QR scanner, however I want to add features. As far as I can see, I cannot output sourcecode in App Inventor, so I'm unable to edit the parts I want to.

Basically I want to change the filters and colours of an image before it gets sent to a QR reader. The QR reader could use live capture from a camera or just stills. I only need a proof of concept, so it does not need much else.

Could anyone give me step by step instructions? I'd probably get as far as installing Eclipse, and starting a project. But so far I have no idea what to do with source code, or how to add the feature I require.

If anyone can help I would be really thankful.

Ben
 
Thanks, I'd need some pointers on how to use the ZXing source code then. To edit it to allow me to change the colours of an image before being scanned.
