Question

I’m trying to pull data from a barcode with plain text via zxing using their ScannerViaIntent source code. It works perfectly fine when I set up the code for a single ImageButton but when i set up the other two buttons I receive this error when returning the result from the Barcode Scanner.

Error:

add break for cases in switch as :

public void onClick(View v) {
            IntentIntegrator integrator = new IntentIntegrator(activity);
            switch (v.getId()){
                case (R.id.scanCubeID):
                    editField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editCubeID);
                    integrator.initiateScan();

                 break ;  // add here

                case (R.id.scanEmployeeID):
                    editField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editEmployeeID);
                    integrator.initiateScan();

                 break ;// add here

                case (R.id.scanConfigID):
                    editField = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editConfigID);
                    integrator.initiateScan();

                 break ; // add here

            }


        }
    };
