iPhone QR Barcode Reader !

[Nn]

Hi,

I have implemented the phonegap plugin for iphone of the barcode
scanner, using only their javascript, and its working perfectly on my
iphone device, i push scan button, cam opens with square canvas, scans
barcode quite fast, then returns a text line with the content of the
barcode like a url or text and many other attributes like this:
Scanned: success: {"format":"QR_CODE","cancelled":false,"text":"http://
www.google.com"}

My question is, from there how do i let my app if its a url to
retrieve only that link and open it automatically in safari, if its a
text to open it in notes etc...?

Thx in advance,

[Nn]

Hi,

My post about this was deleted the next day for some reason, so here
it is:

I am new to this, i have already an app on appstore developed on
phonegap, i want now to integrate zxing QR reader into it. i did all
the necessary steps in xcode, and modified my index.html file with the
javascript, it works perfectly, and the camera scans the QR code, and
returns to the previous page with the result:

{"format":"QR_CODE","cancelled":false,"text":"http://www.google.com"}

Now i am Not an advanced programmer, so i want to parse the above
result, remove all except the last part which contains the actual
content of a QR code (so i only need whats in the "text" key), and
then i want to make it so that if its a URL it
opens directly in safari that link after scan, or if its an SMS opens
a new msg with the content immediately etc...

any response would be great even if just to handle the output text
above to remove parts of it.

Thx in advance,

nobody successfully used zxing barcode scanner with phonegap ?

[Libby]

Part 2 of my barcode scanner tutorial

gives some ideas and code for handling successful

scan : see here. Tutorial discusses, or code attached

to page.

Tutorials are for AppLaud (PhoneGap / Android), but

it's all javascript!  Part 1 of the tutorial here.

HTH,

Hi Libby,

Thanks a lot for your help,

I have imported the tmt3p2.js file into the main html file with
everything else, and in there i call the:
function clickScan() {
window.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(
scanSuccess,
function(error) {
alert("Scan failed: " + error);
});
};

now when i test it on my device, the camera opens and it catches the
qr code and goes back to the html page but with no result and no
alert,
if i am inside the camera and i push cancel button instead of
scanning, it does return an alert saying scan format undefine, scan
value: Not supported. which means that it is going through ur tmt3
functions but only goes into the last else, if i scan successfully i
have placed alerts inside the first if else, they r not showing so its
not going in them on successful scan. what do u think is the problem ?

lemme know if u need my full html and JS code.

Thx a lot,

In case folks didn't realize, there are two different versions of the
iOS BarcodeScanner in the github repo:

iOS:
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/iOS/BarcodeScanner

iPhone:
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/iPhone/BarcodeScanner

The names "iOS" and "iPhone" are ... a little vague. My understanding
is that the "iOS" version is for >= Cordova 1.5, and that the "iPhone"
version is for <= Cordova 1.5 (including PhoneGap 1.x).

Make sure you're using the appropriate one.

And then read the appropriate README.md (embedded in the pages linked to
above), and make sure you're following all the instructions.

thx for the reply patrick,

i am using cordova 1.5 so both versions should work here.

and used libby's javascript tutorial for success handling.

Have u tried this scanner on iphone ?

Ah crap. Got that wrong.

correction:

My understanding is that the "iOS" version is for >= Cordova 1.5, and

that the "iPhone" version is for <= Cordova 1.4 (including PhoneGap 1.x).

So, the iPhone version will not work on 1.5. For Cordova >= 1.5, you
need to use the "iOS" version.

Pretty sure I tried the "iOS" version on 1.5, but haven't tried it on
1.6, and suspect it may not work there.

Hi Patrick,

yes i am using iOS, and as i mentioned earlier, if i try the example
as is, the plugin works perfectly, the cam with the frame opens and it
scans the barcode and returns to the thml page with the text inside of
the barcode.

it only stops giving the output text when i use libby's android
javascript to handle success scans.

Hi,

My config is : XCode 4.3.2, Cordova 1.6, "iOS" version in github.

I have import all libraries.

I have add plugin : key "BarcodeScanner" value "CDVBarcodeScanner"

My html has cordova-1.6.0.js et barcodescanner.js

When I try on my phone or simulator "window.plugins.barcodeScanner" return "undefined" all the time on "clickScan()" function.

I have 0 error in Output console.

Have you an idea ?

################################

        function clickScan() {

            navigator.notification.alert("VAR:"+window.plugins.barcodeScanner);

            window.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(scannerSuccess, scannerFailure);

        }

################################

Having the same problem here, have tried cordova 1.5 and 1.6 running barcodeScanner-plugin from iOS plugins-folder and getting an "undefined" value by testing "window.plugins.barcodeScanner" with an alert command. I could not finde the cordova.hasResource and cordova.addResource functions that are called in barcodescanner.js in the cordova.js file. Looks like they are deprecated (CB-298). Can this be the problem?

If anyone has a running version with phonegap 1.4.1, 1.5 or 1.6 it would be nice if he can help me by getting this running.

Thanks

Disregard the full tmt3p2.js file, just copy one part of it into ur
barcode html page and make it look like this:

under:
function clickScan() {
window.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(scannerSuccess,scannerFailure);
}

Put this:

function scannerSuccess(result) {

console.log("scannerSuccess: result: " + result)

var scanVal = result.text;
if (scanVal.indexOf("http") === 0) {
navigator.notification.confirm(
'Open in browser ?',
function (b) {
if (b === 1) {

window.plugins.childBrowser.showWebPage(scanVal);
}
},
result.text,
'Open, Cancel'
);
} else {
navigator.notification.alert(
result.text,
function (){},
'Scan Value:',
'Done'
);
}
}


@jeiko, if u wanna test it with your alert use:

alert(result.text);

inside the scannerSuccess function.

As a newbie, I am on my way trying to integrate zxing QR reader into
iPhone App.
I am using Xcode 4.3.2 and iOS SDK 5.1

I tried following all steps in this link and adding the plugins
successfully, but after I press the run button, it gives a bunch of
errors.
https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/iOS/BarcodeScanner

I also tried to run the example provided and test it on my iPhone...
After opening the test app, and pressed the "scan something" button,
camera not open, and there's no response at all.

Is there a more detailed tutorial online (on using PhoneGap project
template to integrate QR reader) that I can follow?

Thx in advance.
