# Barcode Scanner
A flutter plugin for scanning 2D barcodes and QR codes.
This provides a simple wrapper for two commonly used iOS and Android libraries:
iOS: https://github.com/mikebuss/MTBBarcodeScanner
Android: https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner
### Features
- [x] Scan 2D barcodes
- [x] Scan QR codes
- [x] Control the flash while scanning
- [x] Permission handling
- [ ] Support multiple barcode libraries
## Getting Started
### Android
For Android, you must do the following before you can use the plugin:
* Add the camera permission to your AndroidManifest.xml
`<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />`
* Add the BarcodeScanner activity to your AndroidManifest.xml. Do NOT modify the name.
`<activity android:name="com.apptreesoftware.barcodescan.BarcodeScannerActivity"/>`
* This plugin is written in Kotlin. Therefore, you need to add Kotlin support to your project. See [installing the Kotlin plugin](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/kotlin-android.html#installing-the-kotlin-plugin).
Edit your project-level build.gradle file to look like this:
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.21'
...
dependencies {
...
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
}
}
...
Edit your app-level build.gradle file to look like this:
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
...
dependencies {
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
...
}
Now you can depend on the barcode_scan plugin in your pubspec.yaml file:
dependencies:
...
barcode_scan: any
Click "Packages get" in Android Studio or run `flutter packages get` in your project folder.
### iOS
To use on iOS, you must add the the camera usage description to your Info.plist
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Camera permission is required for barcode scanning.</string>
