This is a small sample library that scans QR Codes using the new Mobile Vision API for Android included in latest release of Google Play Services, which allows you to avoid using external libraries.

Feel free to use this project as a small sample of how to use this API for scanning QR Codes and customize it however you want ;)

• Android SDK version 9 or later.

compile project(':AndroidVisionQRReader')

repositories {
    flatDir {
        dirs 'libs'
    }
}
dependencies {
    compile(name:'AndroidVisionQRReader', ext:'aar')
}

1. Edit AndroidManifest.xml. We're going to add a few additional items in here:

   <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" />

2. Also in your <manifest> element, make sure the following permissions and features are present:

   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
   
   <meta-data
       android:name="com.google.android.gms.vision.DEPENDENCIES"
       android:value="barcode" />

3. Within the <application> element, add activity entries:

   <!-- Activities responsible for scan QR code -->
   <activity android:name="com.gnzlt.AndroidVisionQRReader.QRActivity" />

First, we'll assume that you're going to launch the request from a button, and that you've set the button's onClick handler in the layout XML via android:onClick="requestQRCodeScan". Then, add the method as:

public void requestQRCodeScan(View v) {
    Intent qrScanIntent = new Intent(this, QRActivity.class);
    startActivityForResult(qrScanIntent, QR_REQUEST);
}

Next, we'll override onActivityResult() to get the request result.

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        if (requestCode == QR_REQUEST) {
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                String qrData = data.getStringExtra(QRActivity.EXTRA_QR_RESULT);
                // do something with the QR data String
            } else {
                mResultTextView.setText("Error");
            }
        }
    }
