Plugin Crash

[TotalHobbies]

I installed the plugin as indicated by the ionic documentation: https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/barcode-scanner

Use the following commands

ionic cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner npm install @ionic-native/barcode-scanner

I add the plugin to app.module.ts

And I also import the plugin on the page I'm going to use this

import { BarcodeScanner } from '@ionic-native/barcode-scanner/ngx'; constructor(private barcodeScanner: BarcodeScanner)

But when I run it on an Android device. When requesting camera use permissions, the application closes.

Has something similar happened to someone or is it a Plugin problem?

My configuration is:

Ionic:

   Ionic CLI                     : 5.4.16

   @ionic/angular-toolkit        : 2.2.0

Could be related to #860 . To me it does not always happen, but still annoying for CI because you never know when it happened.

In cases where it happens I successfully fixed it with adding:

<edit-config file="AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application">
  <activity android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity" android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" android:exported="false"/>
  <activity android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.encode.EncodeActivity" android:label="Share"/>
</edit-config>

to config.xml under <platform name="android"> tag

Same for me.

It was working few days ago but from yesterday, the application crashes when i try to open de scanner.

I have removed the android platform, re-installed again the barcode plugin and the error still there.

When i try to insert your solution into my config.xml, i cant build the proyect:

`FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.

Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@label value=(Share) from AndroidManifest.xml:5:208-229 is also present at [:barcodescanner-release-2.1.5:] AndroidManifest.xml:11:18-50 value=(@string/app_name). Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:label"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:5:5-12:19 to override. Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.`

Any idea?

Finally, i managed to make it work.

I dont know why, but this works for me. Just include this sentences into your manifiest.xml

`

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>`

It resolve my problem and now, i am able to publish into Google Play.
