CompoundBarcodeView.pause() causes the semi transparent frame to disappear

[emanuelthedude]

Hi,

I wan't to achieve a continuous scan that stands still for 2 seconds if barcode was found. Therefore I use the BarcodeCallback and call compoundBarcodeView.pause() then wait 2 seconds and call compoundBarcodeView.resume() because I don't know any other option.

What happens is the following

• continous scan
• sill image full screen (with no semi transparent frame)
• still image with frame
• continous scan

I'd like to have it like this

• continuous scan
• still image with frame
• continuous scan

This is the code I use in the callback

private BarcodeCallback callback = new BarcodeCallback() {
private long lastTimestamp = 0;

    @Override
    public void barcodeResult(BarcodeResult result) {
        String scannedCode = null;

        if (result != null) {
            scannedCode = result.getText();

            if (scannedCode != null) {
                mBarcodeScannerView.pause();

                if(System.currentTimeMillis() - lastTimestamp < DELAY) {
                    // Too soon after the last barcode - ignore.
                    return;
                }
                lastTimestamp = System.currentTimeMillis();
                mBarcodeScannerView.resume();
            }
        }
        handleScan(scannedCode);
    }

    @Override
    public void possibleResultPoints(List<ResultPoint> resultPoints) { /* do nothing */ }
};

Will work on this for the next release.

As a workaround I took the ViewfinderView and made it invisible (gone). With this way I also got rid of the laser which i wanted anyway. Then I created a View by myself. This view never gets distracted.

CompoundBarcodeView.getViewFinder().setVisibility(View.GONE);

I leave this ticket open so you can close it @rkistner if you have fixed the ViewFinderView.
