I've integrated QuaggaJS with cordova-barcodescanner-plugin for browser support of many barcode types (but not QR) and it works well. It's a WebRTC based "extension to ZXing" and "not yet another port of ZXing". It reads codes at weird angles! I've also integrated jsqrcode-edi9999 for WebRTC based QR code support and the browser platform, which is under Apache License 2.0.

The QuaggaJS license is MIT

What are the chances of having integrations like these added to the official cordova-barcodescanner-plugin so that it has support for browser platform instead of only a stub? I would like to be able to use the official plugin for hybrid applications.

When I scan any barcode, seemingly successfully, it always returns success/cancelled with no data. It works fine on Android 5.x.

Hi,

I've been using the plugin for a while on Android and iOS and the plugin has worked brilliantly. However I have noticed on Windows the scanner just doesn't work. The scanner does not appear and literally does nothing.. I have a onclick method which produces the scanner and uses the following:

cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(
function (result) {
alert("We got a barcode\n" +
"Result: " + result.text)
//"Format: " + result.format + "\n" +
//"Cancelled: " + result.cancelled)
{dialog.Object}.setValue('QRCode', result.text);
},
function (error) {
alert("Scanning failed: " + error);
}
);

Could anyone help?

Here is my process:

install:
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-barcodescanner

add to config.xml:

 <config-file mode="merge" parent="/*" target="AndroidManifest.xml">
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
        <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
        <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" />
    </config-file>

run:
cordova build android

Error:

Can you tell me where I have to add this below code? Is it in config.xml file?

If I add that in config.xml then I'm getting build failed error otherwise building is happening and while I'm calling that scan method, I'm getting above error. Please help!

Not able to scan above s/n

This plugin should request the camera permissions, otherwise it won't work on Android 6.0 if you're targeting sdk level 23

https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/plugin.html

The camera orientation in Android phone is not correct for portrait scanning.
The camera is in portrait, but other things in pic like number 037 is rotated.
On clicking scan button, the window in camera goes on top right side.

Scan Result Not Updating the View.

<label class="item item-input"><input type="text" id="txtNo" placeholder="Slip No" ng-model="Selected.barcode" /> </label>

Inside a Function, i call this but it's not getting update

cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan( function (result) { $scope.Selected.barcode = result.text; }, function (error) { alert("Scanning failed: " + error); } );

$scope.Selected.barcode get the result text value but don't update the view. It will update when do the second scan time. Please help. I have used without the plugin it's work perfectly , but when i try to update in barcodeScanner success it's not working.

Hi, I just want to make a suggestion and hope it makes it into the plugin. It would be great if there was a way to scan in series. For example, to be able to scan a barcode, or qr code, run the callback function but still keep the camera open and ready to scan the next barcode/qr code.

The value of the attribute "prefix="xmlns",localpart="android",rawname="xmlns:android"" is invalid

Hi,
when I try to install i get this error:

Fetching plugin "phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner@phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner" via npm
Error: Failed to fetch plugin phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner@phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

I have cordova version 6.5.0. Is not possibile install this plugin?

Thanks

use cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.encode Method Program exit.

What do I have to do? I can't find a solution

I was wondering if there's any chance to implement this on iOS, and maybe if i can, help with this.

do you have any guidelines ?

🚨 You need to enable Continuous Integration on all branches of this repository. 🚨

To enable Greenkeeper, you need to make sure that a commit status is reported on all branches. This is required by Greenkeeper because we are using your CI build statuses to figure out when to notify you about breaking changes.

Since we did not receive a CI status on the greenkeeper/initial branch, we assume that you still need to configure it.

If you have already set up a CI for this repository, you might need to check your configuration. Make sure it will run on all new branches. If you don’t want it to run on every branch, you can whitelist branches starting with greenkeeper/.

We recommend using Travis CI, but Greenkeeper will work with every other CI service as well.

Once you have installed CI on this repository, you’ll need to re-trigger Greenkeeper’s initial Pull Request. To do this, please delete the greenkeeper/initial branch in this repository, and then remove and re-add this repository to the Greenkeeper integration’s white list on Github. You'll find this list on your repo or organiszation’s settings page, under Installed GitHub Apps.

Hi!
I use:

• "cordova-plugin-barcodescanner": "^0.7.0"
• "cordova-android": "^6.2.3"

When I tap on the back button and I have tablet in horizontal mode the app closes.
If I use tablet in vertical mode this trouble doesn't happen.

How can I solve?

Is this doable?

I build on codovar-andoid 6.3 then plugin alert:
Plugin doesn't support this project's cordova-android version. cordova-android: 6.3.0, failed version requirement: <6.3.0 Skipping 'cordova-plugin-compat' for android Installing "cordova-plugin-compat" for android Plugin doesn't support this project's cordova-android version. cordova-android: 6.3.0, failed version requirement: <6.3.0 Skipping 'cordova-plugin-compat' for android Error: Cannot find plugin.xml for plugin "cordova-test-app". Please try adding it again.

and not success

Now it's horizontal screen. I need vertical screen. How do I handle it?

Everything has been working to date, however as of this morning, I'm now getting the error: Registry returned 404 for GET on https://registry.npmjs.org/com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner

Any thoughts on at may cause this?

I am using this plugin to for scanner, but while testing the app in Android 6.1 it displays an error "Sorry, the camera encountered a problem. You may need to restart the device". How can i overcome this issue.

Hello,
I'm trying to use this plugin in my ionic project compiled with PhoneGap Build.

When i try to use barcode scanner on iOS devices, my app open barcode correctly but doesn't scan (capture) qrcode.

My config.xml declaration is
gap:plugin name="cordova-plugin-barcodescanner" source="npm"

and my test code is:
cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan( function (result) { if(result.cancelled) return; alert(result.text); }, function (error) { alert("Error scan"); });

Have you notice of the same problem.

The current overlay (green and red box) may not conform to some brands, and implies a vertical barcode (when my app, for example, will only use QR). Can you add a feature to entrust developers to create their own overlay images instead of the default box?

• Android: https://github.com/zxing/zxing (should fix #6)
• iOS: https://github.com/TheLevelUp/ZXingObjC

On iOS scanning a Data_Matrix code that contains character like 'ß' fails, for example 'Straße'.
On Android the same code works fine.

cordova platform ios 4.4.0

Topic deleted

When I scan a barcode that appears to have a phone number, there's a popup resolving that phone number on Android 4.1 (at least). As indicated in a separate issue, no data is sent back to the app on Android 4.1, so these problems might be related.

As there are still lots of Android 4.x phones on the market, a fix is relevant.

I have an app using the plugin cordova-plugin-BarcodeScanner version 6.0.8 of the plugin, and cordova 7.0.0.

I've tested the application in android (SDK 23) and ios (10.0).It works fine.
I am targeting to deploy the same in all android api's greater than 14 and ios 4.x and above.
I couldn't find any specifications regarding the same in any of the documentations.
I've to make sure the app works fine in all the target devices before deployment.Could someone help me with this.

Thanks.

The pulgin.xml file has a uses-feature android.hardware.camera.

That's fine but it seems that this causes a duplicate entry. Probably because there is some other plugin that does the same thing. Removing that line from the plugin.xml allowed the build to complete.

I don't know enough about plugin.xml to suggest a correct fix, or I would put in a PR myself. Sorry.

Hi
Scanner works fine on most barcodes, except it does not recognise PDF417 barcodes. Any reason why?
Thank you

Plugin v0.7.0 suffers this issue, as described detailed here: http://www.xda-developers.com/why-images-in-some-camera-apps-are-upside-down-on-the-nexus-5x/
Is there a plan to update the plugin using the up2date camera2 api / zxing lib version?

Hi,

The scan screen is in landscape mode.

Is it possible to add the option to toggle / set it to portrait mode?

On certain situations the camera freezes on iOS when calling cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan();
Particularly I'm having this issue when calling it from within an Ionic popup.
If I switch to front camera and back it's fixed, but it always opens freezed.
