change barcode scanner app locales when starting intent

[Florin Onciu]

Hi, and thanks for the library/app. I am using Barcode Scanner app via Intents and I have a few questions.

1. Is it possible to change the barcode scanner app language via intents? My use case would be that in my app, there are different users that use the app in different languages, independent of default device language. I want to start the scanner app in different languages but I am not sure it's possible, or how can I do that.

2. I am trying to adjust some parameters via IntentIntegrator but where can I find these options that can be tweaked via intent?

example:
IntentIntegrator scanIntegrator = new IntentIntegrator(thisActivity);
// add more options
scanIntegrator.addExtra(key, value);

Lastly, it would be nice to be able to use Barcode Scanner app fully via intents (including enabling/disabling) features when running the app.

  I've had to deal with non-device language before, and it's a nuisance (euphemism). Especially if the locale that you're asking for is not available on the device.

  1. No, AFAIK.

  2. com.google.zxing.client.android.Intents.Scan
  https://github.com/zxing/zxing/blob/master/android/src/com/google/zxing/client/android/Intents.java

  This class contains the constants and explains how to use them.

  The Intent Integrator is an easy way to start, and includes a check whether the Bar-Code Scanner has been installed. Other than that you're free to call the Intents.Scan.ACTION intent and customise a variety of behavioural parameters: from bar-code mode and type to the text to be displayed when starting the scan and time to wait after the scan. The Intent Integrator does have an addExtra(String, Object), which allows you to do the same with it.
