I'm realising a barcode scanner using Zxing Scanner, everything is working for this part but now I would like to add one button on the layout (to toggle on/off flashlight). I checked everywhere on the internet but found nothing.
So, here is my questions :
Is it possible de ton find ou modify the .xml to add a button ? If yes, how to find this file ?
Is there a feature already implemented somewhere to add some elements in the layout?
This is how I'm calling ZXingScannerView :
scannerView = new ZXingScannerView(this);
setContentView(scannerView);
This is good to customize QR/Barcode scanner with ZXing library
https://github.com/journeyapps/zxing-android-embedded
You can see sample app project there and customize (add button, set flash on/off) in yourself.
Also there is another library, but it's not using ZXing.
https://github.com/googlesamples/android-vision
It's deprecated, is now a part of ML Kit, but still is available to use.
[Update]
Please import this library into your project. (You can see how can import it from below link.)
https://github.com/journeyapps/zxing-android-embedded#adding-aar-dependency-with-gradle
After imported, you can update the layout.xml of your barcode scanner's activity.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/topLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:keepScreenOn="true">
<com.journeyapps.barcodescanner.DecoratedBarcodeView
android:id="@+id/barcode_scanner"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/btn_flash"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center"
android:text="Flash"/>
</FrameLayout>
com.journeyapps.barcodescanner.DecoratedBarcodeView is BarcodeScanner view. And Button is just to turn on/off flash.
This is BarcodeScanner's Activity.
public class ScanQRActivity extends BaseActivity {
private static final String TAG = "ScanQRActivity";
private DecoratedBarcodeView barcodeView;
private boolean isFlashOn;
/**
* Initializes the UI and creates the detector pipeline.
*/
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle bundle) {
super.onCreate(bundle);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_scan_qr);
isFlashOn = false;
barcodeView = findViewById(R.id.barcode_scanner);
Collection<BarcodeFormat> formats = Arrays.asList(BarcodeFormat.CODE_39); // Set barcode type
barcodeView.getBarcodeView().setDecoderFactory(new DefaultDecoderFactory(formats));
barcodeView.initializeFromIntent(getIntent());
barcodeView.decodeContinuous(callback);
Button btnFlash = findViewById(R.id.btn_flash);
if (!hasFlash()) {
btnFlash.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}
btnFlash.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switchFlashlight();
}
});
}
private BarcodeCallback callback = new BarcodeCallback() {
@Override
public void barcodeResult(BarcodeResult result) {
Log.e(TAG, result.getText()); // QR/Barcode result
}
@Override
public void possibleResultPoints(List<ResultPoint> resultPoints) {
}
};
/**
* Check if the device's camera has a Flashlight.
*
* @return true if there is Flashlight, otherwise false.
*/
private boolean hasFlash() {
return getApplicationContext().getPackageManager()
.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_FLASH);
}
public void switchFlashlight() {
if (isFlashOn) {
isFlashOn = false;
barcodeView.setTorchOff();
} else {
isFlashOn = true;
barcodeView.setTorchOn();
}
}
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
barcodeView.resume();
}
@Override
protected void onPause() {
super.onPause();
barcodeView.pause();
}
}
When QR/Barcode is scanned, you can get result from BarcodeCallback.barcodeResult function.
