Bar Code reader for Corona - need beta test

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Basically there’s no way to get a ‘live’ camera view on Android devices using Corona SDK? I’ve searched this topic yesterday and only found this function as a work around

media.capturePhoto( { listener = myListener, [, destination] } )

Possibly it may be easier to just create a separate Android app version using ZXing library.

Can you test this app using Corona Starter subscription? Do you need a Pro subscription?

Hey, this is awesome. I’m using it and modified the interface a bit for my needs. However, did you add any support for different types of barcodes? Maybe you can share some knowledge on what’s required for the code to support more barcode types?

Thanks!

This is awesome, I’ve been wishing for this for years! Can’t wait to try it out -

Hi @yury.lankovskiy.

I didn’t add any new bar code support because I wanted to release a bar code plugin for Corona (which would have the support to several bar codes and have a much better improved performance) in the same as a Gremlin did for Chartboost, but Corona didn’t show so much interest on it.

In fact, I moving my business apps away from Corona due to these lack of basic features support. So, I am not foreseeing any update on that bar code reader code. But it is open source, you are free to fork it and extend its support.

Thanks for the reply!

I’ll look into extending this app.

One question is did anyone test on Android 4.2.2? I’ve built the app and testing it on Lenovo tablet however the camera view comes up as a white background, anyone has any idea?

Thanks!

The Corona camera feed is not supported on Android.

What you can do is take a photo using the photo Media API and then, when the user get backs to the app, run the lib.

I’m very interested in your bar code reder. Now I use another .net bar code reader, does your bar code reader also support .net  or java?

Hope you can share more details about your bar code reader library. Thanks.

@longwest3, the code that I created is to be used on the mobile side with Corona/Lua, not on a server side.
