I followed the steps provided in the Zxing project. I have created a single button to scan a barcode. I am using emulator in Eclipse and I am having a webcam(according to the suggestion of @Sean Owen) which would do the image capture for me. While running the project after I click the scan button a prompt’s asking whether I want to install an existing separate app named Barcode Scanner which is needed to begin the scan process. So, as soon as I choose the yes option the project crashes and shows that the application stopped working. Also I am having the following error in LogCat. Any help would be appreciated.

Its simple I guess. You don’t have the Google Play app installed on your device. Either try to install it or find a device which has one installed.
