Google has a barcode class included in the Google Play services under the namespace com.google.android.gms.vision.barcode. I'm using it myself in a production app and its just great! Its fast, robust and handles all from blurry to damaged codes.

Check out Android QR Code Reader Made Easy. This should get you up and running in no time! You can easily continue on the code base provided or equally easily integrate it in your existing project.

I would propose to use zxing library:

https://github.com/zxing/zxing

https://github.com/zxing/zxing/wiki/Getting-Started-Developing

You have two options:

  • just use the library which calls the zxing scanner intent (needs barcode reader to be installed)
  • import the whole zxing source into your project in order not to depend on 3rd party app installed. This is always recommanded if you don't want your user to install another app but it is not quite easy to import the sources into your project. Have a look at the documentation.
