ODK Forms Support for QR Code Scanner

[Cornelius Kanampiu]

Greetings,

I have recently started using GeoODK Collect and ODK Aggregate and am liking the experience with these tools.
I have successfully tested the different types of input documented when creating forms on an excel sheet.
What i would like to know is, just like ODK Collect forms accept input from a bar-code scanner, is there a way of having inputs from a QR Code scanner?

I will appreciate any assistance offered.

Regards,
Cornelius.

This is very possible have you looked at https://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/examples/#barcode_prompts looks like it support both QR and bar-code cans 

"

Barcode detection relies on a 3rd party app to detect the barcode. Some newer phones provide this capability as part of the camera app. The Zxing Barcode Scanner is free and works well. The capabilities of the 3rd party app determine what barcodes or QRCodes can be detected. The Zxing Barcode Scanner will detect both."
