Using a Barcode Scanner on an Android Virtual Device

Right now I'm trying to write an app that uses the barcode scanner. It works fine when I test it out on my tablet, prompting users to download the app if they don't have it, however the issue that I run into is that I currently don't have access to my tablet or other hardware to test it out. I am currently using an emulator that doesn't have a barcode scanner installed on it.

Is there a way for me to download and install the barcode scanner on the emulator, or otherwise include something that will allow me to run the scanner from the emulator?

Then you should be able to run adb install BarcodeScanner-4.5.1apk wherever you downloaded it, while the emulator is
