As this thread is old, but I have just came into this issue. So, I am just posting for anyone else who is on Android Studio and want to integrate core classes. All you need to do, is just add this dependency

implementation 'com.google.zxing:core:x.x.x'

Android Studio will automatically suggest you the latest version for the above.
