QR Code Scanner I made

I’ve read a few topics in the forums about this, seems like there was no answer… So I build this app this afternoon.

PLEASE NOTE: I used a very roundabout method, and I really really want this to be 100% contained in the app itself. However, this was the quickest way I could think to make this happen.

This was really intriguing till you said you uploaded the image to your server and basically cheated. I was expecting some super coding enlightenment! Shame on you. Cool, engaging video though.

Shame on me? lol

I clearly stated in the text before the video link that I didn’t use the method I preferred. You called what I did cheating, as if it was as simple as looking at someone else’s test paper. I wonder if it’s quite as easy for others as you make it sound, hm? :wink:

I was kidding about the cheating bit, what you have done is really impressive and I hope the people of corona are watching as it would be really helpful to have QR code usability within the platform.

Keep up the great work! [import]uid: 33866 topic_id: 29146 reply_id: 117235[/import]

Thanks, I kinda figured you were fooling around. I really was hoping to find a Lua library… But unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be one. Image recognition is really taking off and there are QR Code readers in a dozen other languages, it’s too bad Lua is kinda left behind. =/ [import]uid: 60144 topic_id: 29146 reply_id: 117245[/import]

“Downloaded this baby off the interwebs!” - love it.

I’d have given you an extra point if you’d cocked your eyebrow. Every video is improved by that.

“Ansca or Corona Labs or whatever they’re calling themselves” - admit I lol’d.

Server side or not, this is very cool :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 29146 reply_id: 117284[/import]

That was a very enjoyable video. Love your wit.

Cheating? That’s one word. Hack is another. But at the end of the day, it’s clever as all get out. Cudos!

This sounds awsome. Can I download the implementation somewhere?
I have looking like crazy for a way to decode QR codes. [import]uid: 73836 topic_id: 29146 reply_id: 134927[/import]

Any chance you can make the PHP code available like you promised in the video :wink:
