🐛 [Android] CodeScanner doesn't work at all on Samsung Galaxy A23 (Android 14)

Issue: QR Code Scanner Fails on Samsung A23 (Android 14)

After updating from version 3.8.2 to 4.5.3, I've encountered an issue on the Samsung A23 running Android 14. The QR code scanner doesn't appear, and I'm receiving the following error:

[session/recoverable-error: An unknown error occurred while creating the Camera Session, but the Camera can recover from it.]

If I remove either the "codeScanner" or "format" prop, the camera will mount, but it won't scan any QR codes.

Code Sample (CodeScannerPipeline.kt)

    val image = imageProxy.image ?: throw InvalidImageTypeError()

    try {
        val inputImage = InputImage.fromMediaImage(image, imageProxy.imageInfo.rotationDegrees)
        scanner.process(inputImage)
            .addOnSuccessListener { barcodes ->
                if (barcodes.isNotEmpty()) {
                    callback.onCodeScanned(barcodes, CodeScannerFrame(inputImage.width, inputImage.height))
                }
            }
            .addOnFailureListener { error ->
                Log.e(TAG, "Failed to process Image!", error)
                callback.onError(error)
            }
            .addOnCompleteListener {
                imageProxy.close()
            }
    } catch (e: Throwable) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Failed to process Image!", e)
        imageProxy.close()
    }
}

Issue Details:

On Samsung A23 (Android 14), barcodes.isNotEmpty() always returns false.
On other devices, the same code works as expected and barcodes.isNotEmpty() becomes true. Before updating to 4.5.3, everything worked fine on the Samsung A23 as well.

Has anyone encountered this issue or found a workaround? Any assistance would be appreciated!

Reproduceable Code

const device = useCameraDevice('back');
const format = useCameraFormat(device, [{videoResolution: 'max'}]);

const isFocused = useIsFocused();
const isForeground = useIsForeground();

const isActive = isFocused && isForeground;

const codeScanner = useCodeScanner({
  codeTypes: ['qr', 'ean-13'],
  onCodeScanned: codes => {
    console.log('codes', codes);
  },
});

<Camera
 device={device}
 key={device.id}
 isActive={isActive}
 focusable
 format={format}
 style={cameraStyles}
 codeScanner={codeScanner}
 outputOrientation="preview"
/>

Guten Tag, Hans here! 🍻

This looks like a valid issue and you provided relevant logs, Danke! It seems you have detailed the behaviour on your Samsung Galaxy A23 with Android 14 after updating. However, not being able to reproduce the issue in the Example app suggests that it could be device-specific or related to your specific configuration. I recommend double-checking all your camera permissions and settings.

If the issue persists, please monitor for updates from mrousavy. Feel free to sponsor the project here to support further development!

Note: If you think I made a mistake, please ping @mrousavy to take a look.

But it's working with version 3.8.2 of the same model, so it shouldn't be a problem with permissions or settings.

Hi guys, Thanks for a great work on react-native-vision-camera

I'm also experiencing same issue with Samsung A23 5G (SM-A236B) I haven't opened ticket yet, trying to dig for some details first, but I don't have the A23 device. I upgraded from 2.16.1 to 4.5.2 recently and my users with A23 complain that built-in QR-scanning not works. Users with other phones have QR-scanning working.

I'm using now:

react-native-vision-camera 4.5.2
with built-in codeScanner
VisionCamera_enableFrameProcessors=false
VisionCamera_enableCodeScanner=true

format prop not passed in my case

<Camera
isActive
enableZoomGesture
ref={cameraRef}
device={device}
lowLightBoost={device.supportsLowLightBoost && nightModeEnabled}
codeScanner={codeScanner}
torch={isCameraMounted && supportsFlash && flash ? 'on' : 'off'}
onError={onError}
onInitialized={onInitialized}
style={StyleSheet.absoluteFill}
/>

@MaksymKuzmych do you have A23 phone on your side to debug this? Could you maybe try to:

use const format = useCameraFormat(device, [{ videoResolution: { width: 640, height: 480 } }])
and to use frameProcessor instead of codeScanner
- I think codeScanner ignores format prop
- https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/blob/main/package/android/src/main/java/com/mrousavy/camera/core/CameraSession%2BConfiguration.kt#L188
- also I found this line removed in 4.4.0 https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-vision-camera/pull/2997/files
here is my sample with frameProcessor and 640x480:
- https://gist.github.com/zwerg44/f7ebe18d4a2db0b1304188af6afd4dfa

Some details from my users:

I was able to get a video from my users showing
- QR reading not works
- but 1 linear 1D barcode was recognized once at same video at corner of the screen (top-right)
- so, I think MLkit is actually receiving some frames input, but possibly frames are corrupted

I found this topic on flutter camera library:

https://github.com/juliansteenbakker/mobile_scanner/issues/698#issuecomment-1682999110
https://github.com/juliansteenbakker/mobile_scanner/issues/698#issuecomment-1903491693
- for flutter guys with A23 - it helped to hardcode to video resolution to 640x480
- see the PR https://github.com/digitalfabrik/entitlementcard/pull/1524/files#diff-9b228a2d6b0d3af8a00f53730290cc9c2812eaa1765335d72410388486487b09R44
- also there are suggestions there to switch encoding from YUV_420_888 to NV21, that it could help

I'm digging in this direction now:

trying to debug output frame passed from frame-processor to mlkit
- to convert frame yuv to rgb and ouput to skia
trying this example https://github.com/mrousavy/vision-camera-resize-plugin/blob/main/example/src/App.tsx

zwerg44 commented 4 days ago

@MaksymKuzmych

And here is a sample with debug output of frame to skia: https://gist.github.com/zwerg44/2284ce92160f7c93184f2b2b899b0da1

But on my phone and also my emulator:

resize plugin works correctly only in this case
- if I pass to plugin pixelFormat: 'abgr'
- and then render it with skia as 'rgba'
with other pixelFormat combination - output colour not correct

Not sure why? is it issue with resize-plugin? or 4.5.2 produces corrupted frames? I can imagine MLkit can digest sometimes even corrupted frames like this.

note: I haven't tryed this sample on my users with A23 yet, it will take me some time to reach to them

My phone output from sample:

Samsung S22 (reads QR without issues)
resize pixelFormat='abgr', skia rendered as 'rgba'

Same sample with pixelFormat='rgba':

Samsung S22
resize pixelFormat='rgba', skia rendered as 'rgba'

zwerg44 commented 4 days ago

Updated my gist sample with debug output to skia:

to not use scale (I think I understood scale param usage wrong) https://gist.github.com/zwerg44/2284ce92160f7c93184f2b2b899b0da1

Hi, @zwerg44 Thanks for the answer. The first thing I tried to do was just replace my

const format = useCameraFormat(device, [{videoResolution: 'max'}]);

with the format in your suggestion

const format = useCameraFormat(device, [{videoResolution: {width: 640, height: 480}}]);

and for now it works and I don't receive the Error

[session/recoverable-error: An unknown error occurred while creating the Camera Session, but the Camera can recover from it.]

Yes, the quality is worse than before, but it scanning QR codes really good without any problems, so I just did the helper function just for this model:

export const getVideoResolution = () => {
  const deviceName = DeviceInfo.getDeviceNameSync();

  return deviceName === 'Galaxy A23 5G' ? {width: 640, height: 480} : 'max';
};

zwerg44 commented 3 days ago

I also confirm that just passing 640x480 format helped all my users with A23 5G

I used workaround like this:

// constants
const MODEL = DeviceInfo.getModel();
const MODELS_HAS_CAMERA_ISSUE = [
  'SM-A235F',
  'SM-A235M',
  'SM-A235N',
  'SM-A233C',
  'SM-A2360',
  'SM-A236B', // my users
  'SM-A236E',
  'SM-A236M',
  'SM-A236U',
  'SM-A236U1',
  'SM-S236DL',
  'SM-S237VL',
  'SM-A236V',
];
const HAS_CAMERA_ISSUE = MODELS_HAS_CAMERA_ISSUE.includes(MODEL);

...
// and then passed format like this to camera
const selectedFormat = useCameraFormat(device, [{ videoResolution: { width: 640, height: 480 } }]);
const format = HAS_CAMERA_ISSUE ? selectedFormat : undefined;
