Start CaptureActivity from external app #38

Closed jnmronquillo closed 8 years ago

jnmronquillo commented 8 years ago

Can I start CaptureActivity from an external app? Like zxing barcode: Intent i = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN"); startActivityForResult(i, REQ_CODE);

and get the result in data.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT")

You can do this, but you'd need to make the modifications to this app's code yourself to add an intent filter and handle the intent.
