I just attempted to scan a url QR code with Barcode Scanner v4.0 where
the url contained a query string. When the url was decoded and
displayed, the query string was not underlined and therefore not
included in the request when I clicked it to open it in the browser.
Barcode Scanner v4.0
Android version 2.3.3
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-perf / ncmc@ncmc #1
Casio model C771 hardware version 1.1

I can't reproduce this. Are you sure there's not a space in your URL? share the code if possible.

I've set up a page which will echo the query string and has a QR code
with query string at http://test.haqr.us?test=qr . This is not the
same QR code as the one that I reported about earlier. That QR code
lead to a redirect which made it hard to determine if the query string
was omitted. I have also created a QR code with a longer uri which
worked properly. Could it have something to do with the length of the
uri that's encoded in the QR code.

Hmm, you're right, Android doesn't linkify that string properly and I don't know why. It is obviously a URL with query string. If you choose "Open Browser" it's fine; the URL is read properly. It is really an issue with Android's linkifying routine and I can't fix that one.

I didn't even notice the "Open Browser" button. I'll try to remember
that next time.
that next time.

This is not a bug.
http://test.haqr.us?test=qr is not a valid URL, but
http://test.haqr.us/?test=qr is.
The slash separator is neither part of the host nor the query string,
but is required (RFC1738).
