Much Easier approach.

Just include dependency in your app level gradle file

compile 'com.journeyapps:zxing-android-embedded:3.0.1@aar'
compile 'com.google.zxing:core:3.2.0'  

Define one button in your xml file and and write below code in Java file in OnCreate()and inside the OnClick listener of button

new IntentIntegrator(this).initiateScan();

And write below code after OnCreate() of the Java file

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    IntentResult result = IntentIntegrator.parseActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if(result != null) {
        if(result.getContents() == null) {
            Log.d("MainActivity", "Cancelled scan");
            Toast.makeText(this, "Cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        } else {
            Log.d("MainActivity", "Scanned");
            String st_scanned_result = result.getContents();
            Toast.makeText(this, "Scanned: " + result.getContents(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        }
    }

}
