How to change text when scanning barcodes with Zxing via intent in Android?

Question

Is it possible to change the prompt text that says "place the barcode inside the viewfinder..." when launching the Barcode scanner (zxing) via intent ?

Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN")

I want to have a prompt in my language, how should I do that?

Answer 1

Yes, plain and simple:

intent.putExtra("PROMPT_MESSAGE", "Your Text Here");

Answer 2

If it's worth to anyone, here's how you do it with IntentIntegrator if you decided to import ZXings libraries to Android Studio:

integrator.addExtra("PROMPT_MESSAGE", "Your message here");
