Hi Experts,

I am doing the task for android mobile app as per the 1st link and the function is mentioned in the 2nd link. My question is when pressing the capture button the camera will be opened automatically or we have to write the code for opening the camera and then only we have to write the logic for barcode scanning as mentioned in the link. Please guide me . Thanks in advance.

Hi Gowtham,

Your question caught my attension while just browsing the posts because I was working on zxing a time back.

First I think this is not the ideal place to ask this question as this deals with an android library which was first developed by a 3rd  party.The ideal place for this question would have been the Google group of zxing.

Now to answer your question, yes it opens the camera on its own when you make a call  via 'Intent' to the Activity of this library package.I think its name is Capture Activity or SCAN. Will confirm if you are not able to get it from the google group.
