GDK Intent to access the system QR code scanning #344

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
The QR code scanning is an essential part of the user interaction in many 
Google Glass use cases. I would like to have a fast and efficient way of 
scanning a QR code from a GDK application. We have seen that the system QR 
scanning for adding a WiFi network is incredibly fast and works well even if 
you are not focusing the QR with the Glass camera. With the third party 
libraries I have tried like ZXing or ZBar you have to stay very close to the QR 
and the recognition is slower.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to start the system QR scanning Activity from a GDK application. I mean 
the Activity used to scan a QR for connecting to a WiFi.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like to have the decoded QR returned in the onActivityResult 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Google Glass with XE12

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm not a developer, I'm a marketer and I'm trying to find a way to use Google 
Glass to scan QR codes - is there a way to do this?

Check glass-community.com.  Several people have reported success using the zbar 
library, zxing is not recommended (it was reported it caused overheating 
problems but I have not confirmed that).  Seeing as this bug has been accepted 
I would expect the finalized GDK will have a QR intent, I'm waiting for that 
before incorporating it into my applications.

I've used this port of zxing to Glass and with a few adjustments it resolved my 
requirements perfectly: http://github.com/BarcodeEye/BarcodeEye

Thanks!  I didn't know about that port but it looks like it I will fit my needs 
too.

Both 303 and 344 implementation will greatly enhance the functionality of Glass 
for both barcode and 2D QR code scanning. Thank you for accepting the issues, 
finally!
