A Flutter plugin to detect barcodes, text, faces, and objects using Google MLKit API for iOS and Android
This Plugin uses Android CameraView library and iOS AVFoundation APIs for detecting objects from device's camera.
Note: This plugin is under development, and some APIs might not be available yet.
Google MLKit APIs: | Android | iOS |
---|---|---|
Barcode scanning | ✅ | ✅ |
------------------------ | - | - |
First, add mlkit_scanner
as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml.
iOS 11.0 of higher is needed to use the camera plugin.
Add key to the ios/Runner/Info.plist
:
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>...description...</string>
Change the minimum Android sdk version to 21 (or higher) in your android/app/build.gradle
file.
minSdkVersion 21
import 'package:mlkit_scanner/mlkit_scanner.dart';
...
return SizedBox(
height: 200.0 // CameraPreview needs height constraints, if you use widget
// in Column use SizedBox or Container with height.
child: BarcodeScanner(
cropOverlay: ScannerCropOverlay // you can use default ScannerOverlay, create custom, or do not
// use it at all
onScannerInitialized: _onScannerInitialized // callback with BarcodeScannerController for control camera
// and detection when camera preview initialize.
onCameraInitializeError: (error) { // Handling error if camera can't initialize on device.
// handleError.
}
onScan: (barcode) { // Calls on success barcode recognition
// Do anything with the code.
},
),
);
Future<void> _onScannerInitialized(BarcodeScannerController controller) async {
await controller.startScan(100) // Detection starts only after this call.
// 100 - delay in milliseconds between detection for decreasing
// CPU consumption. Detection happens every 100 milliseconds
// skipping frames during delay. Use 0 to turn off delay.
await controller.stopScan() // You can stop detection.
await controller.setDelay(200) // Or set delay while detection is going.
await controller.toggleFlash() // Toggle device flash. Can throw an Exception if device
// doesn't have flash.
await controller.pauseCamera() // Pause camera preview, detection also stops.
await controller.resumeCamera() // Resume camera preview, detection resumes too if
// controller.startScan calls before.
await controller.setZoom(0.5) // Set camera zoom. Values must be in range 0...1
}
