[Need Help Urgent] Phonegap Qr Code/barcode scanner plugin issues

[I0riYagami]

Hi everyone,

I will like to do a mobile web application using PhoneGap framework that has a in-built QR Code/ Barcode scanner function.

When the app is clicked, it is suppose to immediately activate the barcode scanner feature and I can useit to scan a QR code and temporary store the qr code data into the app.

I already set up a android mobileweb app called PhoneGap-Helloworld with the help from Beginning PhoneGape-book and it is able to run on my smartphone and the emulator.

I am using eclipse and my phonegapversion is cordova-2.9.0.jar.



I have tried to download the pluginfrom the below website and tried hard to followed the instruction butI Failed. *Unable to do the 1st 3 steps and notsure whether if it is required since I already set up a app already.

https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/DEPRECATED/Android/BarcodeScanner

I also encounter two lines of error "android:label="@string/share_name""when trying to add the activity to yourAndroidManifest.xml file which is also part of the instruction. Please refer to attached screenshot.





Can someone please guide me through thestep by step procedure on

1. Where do download the correct barcode scanner plugins? what files is required? Is the plugin version compatible?

2. How to add/install the barcode scanner plugin into my existing PhoneGap-Helloworld mobile web app?

3. What are the necessary setting and codes required?

4. The actual coding to actually add the barcode scanner to the mobile web app and able to scan QR code and store the data.


I have poor or rather no knowledge inprogramming so please kindly help patiently. Please refer to attachedscreenshot for more details.



Thanks you in advance!

Hi,

You're using a deprecated branch. So expect things will not be working.

My suggestion would be investigate the QR Code functionality, and plug it with the current Camera plugin.
