I used the QR Reader plugin in an iOS app... Now I am trying to generate an Android version of this app. I am aware that the Android version uses another QR app (Barcode scanner...) but I did not reach that point yet, because Android Studio gives me an error message "error: incompatible types: Cr_rr_qrreader cannot be converted to Fragment" for the following line in qrButonPressed(): Fragment thisFragment = this; I know that the QR Reader is currently not available in the Plugin market, but perhaps someone knows a shortcut to solving that problem...? Thanks Thomas

I have solved it... I just had to replace "Fragment" with "BT_fragment" in Cr_rr_qrreader.java, but also in IntentIntegratorSupportV4.java. Now it works... Best wishes Thomas

Thanks Thomas. I hadn't gotten around to many Android notes or fixes yet... Cheers! -- Smug

Hi Smug, being mainly focussed on iOS apps, such Android error messages confuse me very quickly. However, the journey was funny... I researched some options to include a QR Scanner library into my app... and landed on the exact solution that Chris had implemented in his plugin... Then only the fragment-line remained... learned a lot on the way ;-). BTW... did you use the QR plugin in one of your apps? My app will be a portrait-only app... but the external QR scanner seems to be in landscape-only orientation. Is this to be accepted as is or can it be changed in some way? My client is not very happy with this orientation-change... at least, it works... Cheers! Thomas

I was going to use it to demo an app for a local car dealership... Basically the QR Code on the car gave you more information in the app... But it never came to be. Mine are portrait. If I changed it I don't recall, but it shouldn't be too hard; they use xib files, you can just modify that if you wish, or add more for each type of device, etc... Cheers! -- Smug

Yes, I completely changed the xib files for my iOS project. But the Android version loads the external "Barcode Scanner" app that is in landscape mode. I might include the corresponding library into my project and search for the orientation parts... but calling the scanning app from the QR Reader by intent seems so much easier ;-). Perhaps I have to go the extra mile... Cheers! Thomas

Is it possible to buy the Barcode scanner plug-in?

Hi, the plugin does not show in the plugin market... I had purchased it 2-3 years ago, so I am able to use it in my current projects... with some minor adjustments it still works fine. As the author of this plugin – Chris – is responsible for the plugin market as well, chances are that it will re-appear in the market someday. I guess that Chris is interested to get a feedback on which of the old plugins is most wanted... Best wishes Thomas

Hi Thomas, And thanks for your quick reply, I will notify Chris and hopefully it will be avaliable soon again. I did find a solution yesterday that I'm working on right now. https://github.com/appcoda/QRCodeReader Best Regards, Joakim

Hi Thomas... I know it's been 10 months, but I'm just getting my apps updated. Which reference to Fragment/fragment in IntentIntegratorSupportV4 needs to be edited?

Hi Sarah(K), sorry, I had described my solution much too short. Here it is. The original code in Cr_rr_qrreader.java had been public void qrButonPressed() { BT_debugger.showIt(fragmentName + ": qrButtonPresed"); Fragment thisFragment = this; IntentIntegratorSupportV4 scanIntegrator = new IntentIntegratorSupportV4(thisFragment); scanIntegrator.initiateScan(); } and I changed that to public void qrButonPressed() { BT_debugger.showIt(fragmentName + ": qrButtonPresed"); final BT_fragment thisFragment = this; IntentIntegratorSupportV4 scanIntegrator = new IntentIntegratorSupportV4(thisFragment); scanIntegrator.initiateScan(); } In IntentIntegratorSupportV4.java the original code had been public final class IntentIntegratorSupportV4 extends IntentIntegrator { private final Fragment fragment; /** * @param fragment Fragment to handle activity response. */ public IntentIntegratorSupportV4(Fragment fragment) { super(fragment.getActivity()); this.fragment = fragment; } @Override protected void startActivityForResult(Intent intent, int code) { fragment.startActivityForResult(intent, code); } } ... and I changed it to... public final class IntentIntegratorSupportV4 extends IntentIntegrator { private final BT_fragment fragment; /** * @param fragment Fragment to handle activity response. */ public IntentIntegratorSupportV4(BT_fragment fragment) { super(fragment.getActivity()); this.fragment = fragment; } @Override protected void startActivityForResult(Intent intent, int code) { fragment.startActivityForResult(intent, code); } } Hope this will work for you as well. Best wishes Thomas

One little extra bit in the Intent Integrator add import com.androidscanner.ui.bt_screens.BT_fragment; and I'm back in business. Thank you so much!!!

Ah, you got me! Even now too short ;-)

I've just found a big chunk of code missing from Cr_rr_qrreader.java that handles when a number is returned, appends it to the "nextScreen" and opens it. I'll post a link to a document with all the little changes I've needed to do, and why, once I've got this sorted.

Sounds great... so you are using the itemId of the screens to jump to a specific content of your app...? Lets revive that good-old-BT-forum ;-) Thomas

I'm scanning membership cards as people arrive at a meeting and displaying their membership status, highlighting issues like "no email", "lapsed". Has been working well but needed upgrading and that's raised a few gotchas - I'd left reportToCloud alone, not realising it's actual role, so I now have my own version of that.
