Question

I am developing a new application which hopefully will use a barcode reader to scan and find books. I will then use the ISBN information to get more information.

The intents work and I can scan 2d barcodes ok but not the 1d barcodes of books which I know scan fine using the full application.

This is my code. I have tried it without putting the intent extras and it doesn’t change anything.

Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
intent.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "ONE_D_MODE");
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);

Is there something obvious I am missing? The settings in the app also are selected on 1d scanning only.

Thanks

Turns out that using product mode worked perfectly. I don’t know why I didn’t try that earlier!

intent.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "PRODUCT_MODE");
