Camera is not working

[kcs-ravindrapatil]

Hello folks I have facing some issue while opening scanner, when I opening scanner then it will display info icon instead of camera.

camera is not detect properly and not scanning, am providing some code

Declaration/Functions/Methods:

  @override
  void dispose() {
    cameraController.stop();
    cameraController.dispose();
    WidgetsBinding.instance.removeObserver(this);
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    WidgetsBinding.instance.addObserver(this);
    startCamera();
  }

  @override
  void didChangeAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState state) {
    if (state == AppLifecycleState.inactive || state == AppLifecycleState.paused) {
      cameraController.stop();
      print("Lifecycle stop is call....");
    } else if (state == AppLifecycleState.resumed) {
      startCamera();
      print("Lifecycle resume is call....");
    }
  }

  Future<void> startCamera() async {
    if (cameraController != null) {
      await cameraController.start();
    }
  }

  void resetScanner() async {
    await cameraController.stop();
    await Future.delayed(const Duration(milliseconds: 500)); // Wait for the scanner to stop
    await cameraController.start();
  }

UI:

MobileScanner(
                                fit: BoxFit.fill,
                                controller: MobileScannerController(detectionSpeed: DetectionSpeed.noDuplicates),
                                onDetect: (capture) {
                                  print("-->>" + capture.barcodes.toString());
                                  final List<Barcode> barcodes = capture.barcodes;
                                  for (final barcode in barcodes) {
                                    if (barcode.rawValue != null) {
                                      print("Barcode value: ${barcode.rawValue!}");
                                    // Going to next screen after successfully scanned qr 
                                     } else {
                                      print("Something Wrong");
                                    }
                                  }
                                },
                              ),

The black screen with (i) icon is the default error builder for the MobileScanner widget. What error details (message + stacktrace) do you get in the MobileScannerException ? (you can inspect it using the MobileScanner.errorBuilder property)

[kcs-ravindrapatil]

@navaronbracke Yes I know this is error builder but it gives the below error

MobileScannerException: code genericError, message: Called start() while already started

[navaronbracke]

Aha, I see. Does this happen after you grant permissions?

I have a fix in progress for the underlying "Called start() while already started" error. The fix would just ignore the second attempt at calling start, if the controller has been started before. We do a similar thing for the stop method (not trying to stop when already stopped)

@navaronbracke I understand, waiting for solving the issue.

In my case for below steps:

1. When I am scanning it 1st time it will working well and redirect to next(result) screen
2. When am back from result screen it work for scanning the QR but camera is hide
3. If am go back to all screens and scan it again the camera is not display and not scanning
4. When am restart or kill the app then above issue has been faced.
