I am making a simple QR Scanning App and using Google's open Source Zebra Crossing library to do so. I have made one before and am trying the exact same method I used last time but a certain Knox Enrollment Service is getting in the way.
In the app I have a button that calls the a scan function that looks like this.
public void scan(View v) {
Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}
The function fires correctly and exits correctly. In the past version of the app I made, the camera would have opened and looked for a QR code to scan. Instead of that know I get an error message titled
Knox Enrollment Service: Sorry, the Android camera encountered a problem. You may need to restart the device.
Restarting the device does nothing.
Has anything changed in Android or is this specifically a native Samsung thing?
Ultimately though, is there a way to get around Knox Enrollment Service or another way I could scan QR codes without going through Knox?
I just encountered this as well and luckily was able to come up with a solution for it through trial and error.
I'm not sure why it's not enabled by default, but that seems to be the cause of the problem. Tested on a Galaxy A51 running Android Version 10, Knox API Level 30.
