Getting Started Tutorial

[Prasanna Perera]

Hello,

I am on a tight project deadline to use the ZXing project to create a
bar code scanner for Android. I most probably will be scanning 1D bar
codes. I just want to build a basic skeleton app that will scan a bar
code and send this information to the server to get started. Can you
please provide me with some guide lines as to how I could do this in a
hurry or point me to a good tutorial? I use Eclipse as my development
environment.

Thanks,
Prasanna

By far the fastest way to introduce barcode scanning is to use
Intents:

You don't even need to integrate the library code directly. It's like
10 lines of code.
