Hey everybody! I wanted to make an app that includes the barcode scanner on the new UI. I don’t really understand how to use it properly and how to get information from it. Also, I wouldn’t mind getting some help with OCR too, because I’m having some problems with that too. ---

That’s with the old User Interface. I’m using the new one. But, I’ve already understood how to use it. Now, I need to figure put how to properly use the OCR to read text:) Would be great if you could help:) ---
