Android application input barcode

I am building an Android application where the user can input a barcode and I provide details about the item, similar to MyFitnessPal application.

I can get the application working where the user can enter the barcode manually.  I would like the user to be able to scan the barcode instead of typing it.  The scanning should be done either by using the phone camera (preferred) or an external barcode reader.

I looked at ZXing but I got very confused.  I probably just need the JAR file.

Please provide a detailed simple project example, including activity to accomplish this.

Thank you.

Hi Krunal,

I cannot get these examples to work.  I get errors like "class not found".  I probably miss something that these tutorials assume I should do.

Do you have a downloadable working example with ZXing or Zbar?

Thanks,

I saw that example. It is old.  He is using ZXing now also with added features for the Zbar.

Is there any chance you can create an example and send it to me?

My problem is not that I am not aware of ZXing (see original question), but that I cannot get the examples to work with it.

I need something complete.

Thanks.
