Android - Barcode Scanning, Options? Zxing?

Question

I want to create an application for Android that will be able to scan barcodes, get the information contained within the barcode and then be able to use that information in

Answer 1

I have it working with this:

repositories { mavenCentral()
    maven { url "https://raw.github.com/embarkmobile/zxing-android-minimal/mvn-repo/maven-repository/" }
}

compile 'com.google.zxing:core:3.2.1'
compile 'com.embarkmobile:zxing-android-minimal:2.0.0@aar'
compile 'com.embarkmobile:zxing-android-integration:2.0.0@aar'

I recommend using the IntentIntegrator

IntentIntegrator integrator = new IntentIntegrator(getActivity()); 
integrator.forSupportFragment(this).initiateScan();

The requestCode comes back with

IntentIntegrator.REQUEST_CODE

No need to install a separate scanner
