Integration with Third Party Library Like ZXing for QRCode

Today we can clearly see that the world as a whole has come in the hands of a whole new force as most of our phones today are android based. With the development and spread of Android based phones there arises a need for both software/application based firms to make their earlier products and create new products so as to integrate with the android phones in general and Android in particular. With this rise outsource android development – android development in various countries especially India; and also offshore android development are seen huge opportunities.

Today’s smartphones have the latest and best features and functions.  The Android platform is changing fast and is moving forward rapidly; and to meet the demand there are widows open for both Third party libraries like ZXing and its QR code as well as android developers. With the help of Android various developers are now creating state of the art mobile applications easily.  Android uses Java support and therefore there is the link between Android and Java thereby opportunities for Third Parties arise.

A QR code (Quick response code) is a special kind of matrix barcode or a two dimensional code which is made specifically to be read by smartphones and Android applications.  This code is nothing but black modules on a white background in the form of squares. The information within the code can be of different kinds – text, image, URL, or any other information.

ZXing i.e “zebra crossing” is an open source 1D and also 2D barcode or quick response code processing library that works on Java. Their main aim is to help in android applications by using the camera on phones to decode pictures on other phones without needing the help of an internet server.  Their library is broadly divided into various components:

1.    The core which has an image decoding library and test code

2.    Javase which is a J2SE specific client code

3.    Android client which is a barcode scanner

4.    The android test application i.e. androidetest

5.    Android integration as it supports integration with ZXing  Barcode Scanner through their servers
