New issue 445 by faebu3007: scan barcode from browser on the device
http://code.google.com/p/zxing/issues/detail?id=445
It would be nice if the barcode scanner could accept a image from
browser/sdcard. So that it is possible to scan an image which comes from
the browser on the device.

That's a feature request for the browser instead of the app; the app can't
somehow add options to the browser.
I don't see a use case for reading from the SD card.

My Idea was that you could accept the Intent which will be send if the user
wants to send an Image from the Browser. (I beliefe
its "act=android.intent.action.SEND typ=image/jpeg" but i'm not shure.)
So that the user can see a Barcode on the Web, select "Send Image", and on
the list he then also have the Barcode scanner.

Like I said, you're describing a change to the Browser, which we don't
control.

Probably i'm describing it wrong. (english isn't my mother language)
On my system if i'm in the browser and select "Bild schicken" i get a list
of programms which answer to the
Action: "android.intent.action.SEND" with Type: "image/*" (These Programms
include Facebook, 3bananas etc.)
The same works also from the Gallery with the "send" button.
