Zxing issue - ActivityNotFoundException

Question

I am getting an Exception while working with zxing scanner. In my application, I want to scan Bar and QR codes by single-camera Activity ( CaptureActivity of zxing). For that, I used the following code in my app

   Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
              intent.setPackage("com.google.zxing.client.android"); 
              intent.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "PRODUCT_MODE");
              intent.putExtra("SCAN_FORMATS", "CODE_39,CODE_93,CODE_128,DATA_MATRIX,ITF,CODABAR,EAN_13,EAN_8,UPC_A,QR_CODE");
              startActivityForResult(intent, 0);  

But I am getting the exception:-

01-03 10:28:15.445: E/AndroidRuntime(3405): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent 
{ act=com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN pkg=com.google.zxing.client.android (has extras) }

I can't use

  IntentIntegrator

in my App. So please someone help me, to solve this issue. This is my full log cat output

Thanks in advance to all

You are getting ActivityNotFoundException as Zxing application is not installed in your device. So Please check whether it is installed or not. If it's not then redirect user to playstore-page of Zxing:

I've implemented some code for these. Modify it according to your needs:

boolean isZxingInstalled;
/*
 *Checking whether Zxing is installed or not
 */ 
try
{
ApplicationInfo info = getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo("com.google.zxing.client.android", 0 );
boolean isZxingInstalled = true;
    }
catch(PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e){
                isZxingInstalled=false;
          }

/*
 * Store the boolean value on the basis of Zxing is installed or not
 */

if(isZxingInstalled) //If it is then intent Zxing application
 {
         //start the facebook app
         Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
          intent.setPackage("com.google.zxing.client.android"); 
          intent.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "PRODUCT_MODE");
          intent.putExtra("SCAN_FORMATS",    "CODE_39,CODE_93,CODE_128,DATA_MATRIX,ITF,CODABAR,EAN_13,EAN_8,UPC_A,QR_CODE");
          startActivityForResult(intent, 0); 
  }
 else //It's not then redirect user to PlayStore-ZxingPlage
  {
    /*
     *Checking whether PlayStore is installed in device or not?
     */
     boolean isPlayStoreInstalled
     try
     {
      ApplicationInfo i=getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo("com.google.vending", 0 );
      boolean isPlayStoreInstalled = true;
      }
     catch(PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e){
                isPlayStoreInstalled=false;
          }

      /*
       * If it is the download Zxing
       */ 
      if(isPlayStoreInstalled)
       {
        Intent DownloadZxing = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("market://detailsid=com.google.zxing.client.android"));
        startActivity(DownloadZxing);
        }
      else //Toast message indicating No PlayStore Found
       {
         Toast.makeText(this,"Install PlayStore First",Toast.LENGHT_SHORT).show();
        }
  }

Hope these may help!! :)
