Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

It is not this simple, as you need to change several more things to get it right in portrait mode:

• Account for device and camera orientation, both of which can be 0,90,180,270
• (and account for front cameras for which some of these values are flipped)
• Set the preview display's rotation
• Rotate the preview data correctly before analyzing it
• Choose preview size correctly, accounting for the fact it may be given in landscape
• Change the UI elements to display reasonably in portrait

It took me probably a week total of solid work to get this completely right, and the result is here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.srowen.bs.android

While I can't share the code now, I can list the steps above, and may be able to put this into the open source project later.

in, simple words portrait mode is not available in this library yet?

The Android app is landscape-only, yes.

Hi Sean.

I'm trying to edit the screen activity capture QR code using ZXing Library, how to do this? What should edit to achieve something like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/8OUau.png and modify default screen on ZXing ?
