MiuMiu, A Barcode Scanner component is on our list but as of now it is not a high priority. If others chime in by liking or replying to your post it might influence us to move it higher on the priority list šŸ˜‰ -Mark ---

I would love to have barcode and QR code scanning as well. The usage scenario is that: a user scans a QR code, when the QR code is recognized, the app will communicate with a remote server to retrieve a video or MP3 file to play. No need to press any button or enter any text. If you accept contribution, I am willing to contribute USD 100 as a token of appreciation. ---

My app could also benefit from a QR code scanner. As it stands, I need to have the user use a separate app to read the QR code and then paste it into my app. Not ideal! ---

Me too please! Besides 1D barcodes and 2D QR codes, I also need support for 2D Data Matrix code (used a lot in medical products). In MIT AI2, I used ZXing and checked the ā€œuse external scannerā€ box. Thanks! BillG ---
