Getting started with ZXing on Android

Question

I\'m trying to add ZXing to my project (add a button which calls the scanner upon press). I found this: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa

Go here for links.

In the activity that you want to trigger a barcode scan include

IntentIntegrator.initiateScan(YourActivity.this); 

and then also include:

public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
    if (requestCode == 0) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            String contents = intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT");
            String format = intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT_FORMAT");
            // Handle successful scan
            TextView 
        } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
            // Handle cancel
        }
    }
};

The Barcode Scanner app will handle the actual scanning. If the Barcode Scanner app is not installed, the integrator will prompt them to install it.
