Answer 1

Step 1 : Include Dependencies in build.gradle

dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.journeyapps:zxing-android-embedded:3.5.0'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

}

Step 2: in the OnCreateView, let a button be clicked to initiate the scan of the qr code

scan_button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            IntentIntegrator integrator = new IntentIntegrator(getActivity());
            integrator.setDesiredBarcodeFormats(IntentIntegrator.QR_CODE_TYPES);
            integrator.setPrompt("Please focus the camera on the QR Code");
            integrator.setCameraId(0);
            integrator.setBeepEnabled(false);
            integrator.setBarcodeImageEnabled(false);
            integrator.initiateScan();
         }
    });

Step 3: in the parent activity

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
    IntentResult scanResult = IntentIntegrator.parseActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
    if(scanResult != null){
        Toast.makeText(this, "  >>>>"+scanResult.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        Log.e(">>>>"," "+scanResult.getContents().toString());
    }
}

Now the qr code's decoded content appears in the log files and as a toast!
