How to read barcodes using Android Phonegap?

Question

I want to scan barcodes using Android Phonegap. How can I do this ?

Answer 1

Check out the PhoneGap barcode tutorial here. It will take you step by step to creating a sample app with zxing via the PhoneGap plugin from purplecabbage.

Answer 2

• You would have to build a Phonegap plugin which implements the zxing library.
• Or use the pre existing BarcodeScanner plugin which is MUCH easier.
