Or any incorporated another QR code reader into an app? Can you walk me through it? thanks Title Comments I'm trying to incorporate this QR code reader into my app: http://sourceforge.net/projects/zbar/ I've gone through the first 3 steps in adding it to my Xcode project, but step 4 stumps me: Import the SDK header from your prefix header to make the barcode reader APIs available: #import ZBarSDK.h Has anyone else used this?

rgtichy Lost but trying Posts: 104 Reg: Oct 14, 2011 Barrington 1,040	01/28/12 07:02 AM (12 years ago) It sounds like you're asking where you should put the .h file? Is that correct? It would seem to me that you need to make the QR code APIs available either globally in your app or in the module where you'll be accepting input from the QR code as it gets read.

I've copied their SDK to Xcode, but need to hook it up with my project somehow, then make it available from an icon within my project. Before I found the sourceforge.net one, I bought one from code canyon that works as a standalone very well, but also includes instructions on how to incorporate it within your own app – again, the explanation was confusing to me: http://codecanyon.net/item/qr-code-scanner-app-template-scanner-reader-/237050 Comments the instructions that come with the file tell you do things that I can't find in Xcode.

I have been trying to use it with a tabbed layout. (thinking it may be easier to save results this way) The stand alone sample code I can scan, but it wont do anything with it. I have also been trying to build it completely out of buzztouch to see how I can combine code from several stand alone projects, but with my limited coding knowledge I am hitting a wall. Have not touched it in a few weeks due to other projects for work, but I will take another look at it as well. Jim Comments I have been working on this as well.

I'd love to use the Code Canyon one, but the instructions just confuse the hell out of me! Would anyone be able to help me with incorporating this into my app? I have the code in my Xcode, but need to know how to connect it to the app and then make an icon at the bottom of the app open it up. Comments anyone had progress with this?
