I am new in android. I am developing a App in which i have to used zxing for scanning bar code
and QR code. In my App i can not use third party software. That means i can’t use these line of code in my App

 IntentIntegrator integrator = new IntentIntegrator(shopping.this);
            integrator.initiateScan();

So, in that case i used these line code after reading several tutorial .

    Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN"); 
              intent.setPackage("com.google.zxing.client.android"); 
             // intent.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "PRODUCT_MODE");
              intent.putExtra("SCAN_FORMATS", "CODE_39,CODE_93,CODE_128,DATA_MATRIX,ITF,CODABAR,EAN_13,EAN_8,UPC_A,QR_CODE");
              startActivityForResult(intent, 0);

But unfortunately this is showing Exception for me, my total log-cat output is as follow-

But when i just replace this line

   Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");

to this line

   Intent intent = new Intent(shopping.this, CaptureActivity.class);

and i run my App it successfully run for me , but problem is that it is only scanning **QR Code , it not working for BAR code.
For convenience for those who want to help i am going to show my Manifest file

You are getting ActivityNotFoundException as Zxing application is not installed in your device. So Please check whether it is installed or not. If it’s not then redirect user to playstore-page of Zxing:

I’ve implemented some code for these. Modify it according to your needs:

boolean isZxingInstalled;
/*
 *Checking whether Zxing is installed or not
 */ 
try
{
ApplicationInfo info = getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo("com.google.zxing.client.android", 0 );
boolean isZxingInstalled = true;
    }
catch(PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e){
                isZxingInstalled=false;
          }

/*
 * Store the boolean value on the basis of Zxing is installed or not
 */

if(isZxingInstalled) //If it is then intent Zxing application
 {
         //start the facebook app
         Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
          intent.setPackage("com.google.zxing.client.android"); 
          intent.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "PRODUCT_MODE");
          intent.putExtra("SCAN_FORMATS",    "CODE_39,CODE_93,CODE_128,DATA_MATRIX,ITF,CODABAR,EAN_13,EAN_8,UPC_A,QR_CODE");
          startActivityForResult(intent, 0); 
  }
 else //It's not then redirect user to PlayStore-ZxingPlage
  {
    /*
     *Checking whether PlayStore is installed in device or not?
     */
     boolean isPlayStoreInstalled
     try
     {
      ApplicationInfo i=getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo("com.google.vending", 0 );
      boolean isPlayStoreInstalled = true;
      }
     catch(PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e){
                isPlayStoreInstalled=false;
          }

      /*
       * If it is the download Zxing
       */ 
      if(isPlayStoreInstalled)
       {
        Intent DownloadZxing = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("market://detailsid=com.google.zxing.client.android"));
        startActivity(DownloadZxing);
        }
      else //Toast message indicating No PlayStore Found
       {
         Toast.makeText(this,"Install PlayStore First",Toast.LENGHT_SHORT).show();
        }
  }

Hope these may help!! 🙂
