MobileVisionBarcodeScanner

Barcode Scanner supported by Mobile Vision Api

adding as a dependency

Step 1.

Add the JitPack repository to your build file in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
	repositories {
		...
		maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
	}
}

Step 2.

Add the dependency

dependencies {
        compile('com.github.KingsMentor:MobileVisionBarcodeScanner:v1.2') { transitive = true; }
}

Supported Attributes

<attr name="gvb_show_text" format="boolean" />
        <attr name="gvb_draw" format="boolean" />
        <attr name="gvb_multiple" format="boolean" />
        <attr name="gvb_touch" format="boolean" />
        <attr name="gvb_auto_focus" format="boolean" />
        <attr name="gvb_flash" format="boolean" />
        <attr name="gvb_rect_colors" format="reference" />
        <attr name="gvb_code_format" format="enum">
            <enum name="all_format" value="0"></enum>
            <enum name="code_128" value="1"></enum>
            <enum name="code_39" value="2"></enum>
            <enum name="code_93" value="4"></enum>
            <enum name="code_bar" value="8"></enum>
            <enum name="data_matrix" value="16"></enum>
            <enum name="ean_13" value="32"></enum>
            <enum name="ean_8" value="64"></enum>
            <enum name="itf" value="128"></enum>
            <enum name="qr_code" value="256"></enum>
            <enum name="upc_a" value="512"></enum>
            <enum name="upc_e" value="1024"></enum>
            <enum name="pdf417" value="2028"></enum>
            <enum name="aztec" value="4029"></enum>

 </attr>

What are the attibutes for :

• gvb_draw - enable rect drawn around codes when scanning
• gvb_multiple - want the camera to return as many qr codes that was scanned. This works with gvb_touch attribute. it only returns result when the screen is clicked or touch
• gvb_touch - turn on touch listener for screen
• gvb_auto_focus - support auto focus
• gvb_flash - turn on flash
• gvb_rect_colors - arrays of colors to draw rect
• gvb_code_format - barcode format that should be support . Default is all_format

Note these attributes can also be initialised from java code . We would look into that later

Using the Mobile Vision Powered Camera.

Step 1 - Add layout in xml:

<fragment
            android:id="@+id/barcode"
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.samples.vision.barcodereader.BarcodeCapture"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            app:gvb_auto_focus="true"
            app:gvb_code_format="all_format"
            app:gvb_flash="false"
            app:gvb_rect_colors="@array/rect_color" />

and this is rect_color in colors.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <color name="color_green">#14808d</color>
    <color name="color_brown">#343838</color>
    <color name="color_orange">#f38a32</color>
    <color name="color_blue">#1479b7</color>
    <color name="divider_grey">#e4e4e5</color>

    <array name="rect_color">
        <item>@color/color_blue</item>
        <item>@color/color_brown</item>
        <item>@color/color_green</item>
        <item>@color/divider_grey</item>
        <item>@color/color_orange</item>
    </array>
</resources>

Step 2 - Initialise in java

BarcodeCapture barcodeCapture = (BarcodeCapture) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(barcode);
barcodeCapture.setRetrieval(this);

also make sure your java class implements BarcodeRetriever

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements BarcodeRetriever {

...


    // for one time scan
  @Override
    public void onRetrieved(final Barcode barcode) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Barcode read: " + barcode.displayValue);
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this)
                        .setTitle("code retrieved")
                        .setMessage(barcode.displayValue);
                builder.show();
            }
        });


    }

    // for multiple callback
    @Override
    public void onRetrievedMultiple(final Barcode closetToClick, final List<BarcodeGraphic> barcodeGraphics) {
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                String message = "Code selected : " + closetToClick.displayValue + "\n\nother " +
                        "codes in frame include : \n";
                for (int index = 0; index < barcodeGraphics.size(); index++) {
                    Barcode barcode = barcodeGraphics.get(index).getBarcode();
                    message += (index + 1) + ". " + barcode.displayValue + "\n";
                }
                AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this)
                        .setTitle("code retrieved")
                        .setMessage(message);
                builder.show();
            }
        });

    }

    @Override
    public void onBitmapScanned(SparseArray<Barcode> sparseArray) {
        // when image is scanned and processed
    }

    @Override
    public void onRetrievedFailed(String reason) {
        // in case of failure
    }
}

as you can see, BarcodeRetriever interface handles the callback when a code is scanned successfully based on specified attributes.

Extras

• To scan a bitmap,

BarcodeBitmapScanner.scanBitmap(this, bitmap, Barcode.ALL_FORMATS, this);

• Set attributes from java - Use the BarcodeCapture instance to reference setter methods

barcodeCapture.setShowDrawRect(true);
