barcode scanning in android emulator

Question

I'm trying to do barcode scanning using Android emulator. Could anyone please tell me what steps to follow to do a simple barcode scanning on the emulator?

Thank for any help,

Answer 1

It is possible if you have a camera on your pc/laptop.

In Android Studio:

• Open Device Manager;
• Select the emulator device and click on Edit icon button;
• On Camera section you can find Front and Back;
• Select Webcam (In my case on mackbook I have Webcam0) in both cases ;
• Save settings and close emulator;
• On Device Manager select the emulator device -> 3 dots -> Cold Boot Now;
• Now when you open camera activity/fragment/compose_view on your emulator, android studio may requires the camera permission on your mac/windows.

Yes, you can set the image of wall and table from virtual scene on emulator config.config android emulator

Answer 5

You can enable the cam on android emulator, and so use a barcode scanner on it.

To do so, you have to set the emulator property "configures camera facing back" (or front) to "yes" or "webcam0".

You can't use barcode scanner on emulator because for scanning you need a camera..so if possible then use mobile device for it..
