"Class Not Found" error trying to run barcodescanner plugin for Android

[Thomas Anderson]

I've spent a few hours trying to trace this one and I'm out of leads.

I'm running:

Cordova 2.5.0

ADT v21.1.0-569685

I followed the instructions at https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/Android/BarcodeScanner and even tried a variant based on http://simonmacdonald.blogspot.com/2011/12/installing-barcode-plugin-for-phonegap.html (the XML is different)

When I try to run window.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(), the failure callback returns "Class not found".

My AndroidManifest.xml contains:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FLASHLIGHT" />

<activity android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity"

 android:screenOrientation="landscape"

 android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true"

 android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"

 android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"

 android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"

 android:exported="false">

 <intent-filter>

<action android:name="com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner.SCAN"/>

<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>

 </intent-filter>

</activity>

<activity android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.encode.EncodeActivity" android:label="@string/share_name">

 <intent-filter>

<action android:name="com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner.ENCODE"/>

<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>

 </intent-filter>

</activity>

<activity android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.HelpActivity" android:label="@string/share_name">

<intent-filter>

<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>

<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>

</intent-filter>

</activity>

My plugins.xml contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<plugins>

<plugin name="BarcodeScanner" value="com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner.BarcodeScanner"/>

</plugins>

The /src directory contains com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner/BarcodeScanner.java.  The CaptureActivity library is included as well.  There are no errors in the project, aside from a few minor warnings about "The value of the field BarcodeScanner.EMAIL_TYPE is not used" in BarcodeScanner.java.

Any suggestions on what to check next?

Kind Regards,

- Thomas

The plugins have moved into config.xml. That is probably what your problem is.

That did it - thanks Simon!  BTW, you might want to throw in a quick note about that on https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/Android/BarcodeScanner.  It looks like the docs are slightly out of date as of 2.5 regarding where to stick the plugin XML node.

Thanks for all of your hard work on PhoneGap!
