Answer 1

You will need to register CaptureActivity Activity in the AndroidManifest.xml
<activity
android:name="com.github.barcodeeye.scan.CaptureActivity"
android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:stateNotNeeded="true"
android:theme="#style/CaptureTheme"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.github.barcodeeye.SCAN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

Here is how I use BarCodeEye:
private void startScanActivityForResult(Bundle extras)
{
Intent intentScan = new Intent("com.github.barcodeeye.SCAN");
intentScan.setPackage("com.github.barcodeeye");
intentScan.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
intentScan.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_WHEN_TASK_RESET);
intentScan.putExtras(extras);
intentScan.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "QR_CODE_MODE");
intentScan.putExtra("RESULT_DISPLAY_DURATION_MS", 1000L);
intentScan.putExtra("SAVE_HISTORY", false);
intentScan.putExtra("PROMPT_MESSAGE", "QR scan http://user:pass#server");
WtcLog.info(TAG, "startScanActivityForResult: startActivityForResult(intentScan=" + intentScan + ", REQUEST_SCAN)");
startActivityForResult(intentScan, REQUEST_SCAN);
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
WtcLog.info(TAG, "onActivityResult data=" + WtcUtilsPlatform.toString(data));
Bundle extras = null;
if (data != null)
{
extras = data.getExtras();
}
switch (requestCode)
{
case REQUEST_SCAN:
{
WtcLog.info(TAG, "onActivityResult: REQUEST_SCAN");
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK)
{
WtcLog.info(TAG, "onActivityResult: resultCode == RESULT_OK");
String result = data.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT");
extras = validateScan(result);
/// your logic here
}
else
{
WtcLog.warn(TAG, "onActivityResult: resultCode != RESULT_OK; exiting");
// your logic here
finish();
}
break;
}
}
}
private Bundle validateScan(String result)
{
Bundle extras = new Bundle();
String[] userpass;
try
{
URI uri = new URI(result);
String userinfo = uri.getRawUserInfo();
if (WtcString.isNullOrEmpty(userinfo))
{
throw new URISyntaxException(result, "");
}
userpass = userinfo.split(":", 2);
if (userpass.length != 2)
{
throw new URISyntaxException(result, "");
}
String server = uri.getHost();
if (WtcString.isNullOrEmpty(server))
{
throw new URISyntaxException(result, "");
}
extras.putString("server", server);
}
catch (URISyntaxException e)
{
WtcLog.error(TAG, "validateScan: EXCEPTION", e);
extras.putString("error", "uri must be in format \"http://username:password#server\"");
return extras;
}
try
{
String username = URLDecoder.decode(userpass[0], "UTF-8");
extras.putString("username", username);
String password = URLDecoder.decode(userpass[1], "UTF-8");
extras.putString("password", password);
}
catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
{
WtcLog.error(TAG, "validateScan: EXCEPTION", e);
extras.putString("error", "username and password must be UTF-8");
return extras;
}
return extras;
}
