milestone for next release #68

Closed iasjennen closed 4 years ago

Hello,

we are currently using your library for qr code scanning and would like to use the flash light feature from the dev branch in our app. However we want to keep the dependencies to stable releases.

When are you planning for the next release / What is holding up the next release?

Thanks for the lib and best regards!

@iasjennen The issue is that this android library is really behind on a lot of things. For instance play-services-vision is deprecated now in favor of Firebase MLKit.

Read the warning on this page. https://developers.google.com/vision

So this library needs to be migrated to that:

https://firebase.google.com/docs/ml-kit/android/read-barcodes

I started work in another branch : https://github.com/nisrulz/qreader/tree/new_updates but it is a completely revamp of this library and I cannot comment much about the timeline. I would like to invest time and fix the issues.

If it is just the flashlight you would like to use, I do have another library which I am kind of almost done upgrading, but the stable version works good too.

I am in the testing phase for the new version, but again cannot commit a timeline.

If nothing else works, I would recommend that you move to another library that does help you out.
