Answer 1

Elaborating stackex's answer.... Create an activity with any name.

public class CaptureActivityAnyOrientation extends CaptureActivity {
}

In manifest define the desired orientation or leave like below to work in both landscape and portait.

Finally use the activity created as setCaptureActivity.

IntentIntegrator.forSupportFragment(fragment)
                    .setCaptureActivity(CaptureActivityAnyOrientation.class)
                    .setOrientationLocked(false)
                    .setBeepEnabled(true)
                    .addExtra("PROMPT_MESSAGE", "Scan QR Code")
                    .initiateScan(IntentIntegrator.QR_CODE_TYPES);

Hope this helps.
