I am making a barcode scanner with capacitor-mlkit/barcode-scanner and vue3. I installed the mlkit barcode scanner package, I am testing it on my android device, but when I am trying to call BarcodeScanner.scan(), the console output in android studio is
File: https://localhost/assets/index-DFex7xUL.js - Line 13 - Msg: Error: The Google Barcode Scanner Module is not available. You must install it first.
I know that error clearly states what is wrong, but I just dont get what exactly is missing.
My vue component:
<script setup lang="ts">
import { Barcode, BarcodeScanner } from "@capacitor-mlkit/barcode-scanning";
const startScanning = async () => {
const { barcodes } = await BarcodeScanner.scan();
};
</script>
<template>
<ion-page>
<ion-content>
<ion-fab-button @click="startScanning()">
<ion-icon :icon="scan"></ion-icon>
</ion-fab-button>
</ion-content>
</ion-page>
</template>

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
}
} catch(Exception e) {
logger.info("google-services.json not found, google-services plugin not applied. Push Notifications won't work")
}
I tried making changes to android/app/build.griddle by adding
buildFeatures {
dataBinding true
}
dataBinding {
enabled = true
}
, I made changes to AndroidManifest.xml as per documentation.
You need to call the installGoogleBarcodeScannerModule() method. Also make sure that you first check whether the module is already installed by calling isGoogleBarcodeScannerModuleAvailable()
.
