How to use:
First build the project and reference the jar (or project) in your Android project. Then in your Android project create the layout for the scan-view which can be as easy as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/cameraview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
</FrameLayout>
</FrameLayout>
In your AndroidManifest.xml you will need to allow camera-use:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />
Then in your scan-activity you can use it as simply as:
public class ScanActivity extends Activity
{
private SimpleCameraReader camera;
private Context context;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.scan_layout);
try
{
context = this;
// We create a collection of formats we want to use
Collection<BarcodeFormat> formats = new ArrayList<BarcodeFormat>();
// Which in this case is EAN codes (European Product codes)
formats.add(BarcodeFormat.EAN_13);
formats.add(BarcodeFormat.EAN_8);
// Initialize camera object with context and formats
camera = new SimpleCameraReader(this, formats);
// Here we add the CameraView to our FrameLayout
((FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.cameraview)).addView(camera
.getCameraView());
// Make the view transparent so widgets/views in front of our cameraview
// shows
camera.getCameraView().setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
// We add a ResultHandler which will take care of an eventual
// result or errors
camera.setResultHandler(new CameraHandler()
{
// When decoding completes and we found a barcode
// this method is called with a Result-object
public void onDecodeCompleted(Result result)
{
Toast.makeText(context, "Found barcode: " + result.getText().toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
// In case of an error, this method is called
// We don't really have to do anything here
public void onError(Exception ex)
{
}
});
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
public void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
// When the activity resumes/starts
// we'll start the camera
try
{
camera.start();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
public void onPause()
{
super.onPause();
// When the activity pauses/stops
// stop the camera
camera.stop();
}
}
To use it as a maven dependency, just add
<groupId>no.henning</groupId>
<artifactId>simple-camera-reader</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>apklib</type>
To your pom.
