How to create a simple QR Code Scanner and publish it on play store in 5mins

Mujeeb Khan — Mon, 17 Jul 2023 18:00:34 +0000

👋Hello guyz,
I want you to checkout my QR Code Scanner on Play Store
source code of my QR code scanner github

In this article I am going to tell you how you can also create your QR code scanner and publish it on Play Store.

Pre-requisite

Android Studio
basic idea of java/kotlin

Now it’s time to create our own QR Code in just 5mins.

Why Google Code Scanner

The Google code scanner API provides a complete solution for scanning codes without requiring your app to request camera permission, while preserving user privacy. This is accomplished by delegating the task of scanning the code to Google Play services and returning only the scan results to your app. All image processing occurs on the device and Google doesn't store the results or image data.

Step 1: Add the dependency of a Google code scanner in the build.gradle

Include in your top-level settings.gradle file

dependencyResolutionManagement {
  repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
  }
}

Add the dependency of a code scanner in the app/build.gradle

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-code-scanner:16.0.0'
}

Add meta-data in the manifest file so that Google Play services automatically download the scanner module to the device while your app is installed from the Play Store

<application ...>
  ...
  <meta-data
      android:name="com.google.mlkit.vision.DEPENDENCIES"
      android:value="barcode_ui"/>
  ...
</application>

Step 2: Code for Scan Code

Get an instance of GmsBarcodeScanner

val scanner = GmsBarcodeScanning.getClient(this)
// Or with a configured options
// val scanner = GmsBarcodeScanning.getClient(this, options)

Request a code scanning by calling startScan()

scanner.startScan()
    .addOnSuccessListener { barcode ->
        val result: String? = barcode.rawValue
    }
    .addOnCanceledListener {
        // Task canceled
    }
    .addOnFailureListener { e ->
        // Task failed with an exception
    }

our basic QR code scanner is ready to scan qr code
you can do further improvement according to your need.

Guyzz don't forget to check my qr code scanner on Play Store

In next article we will learn how to publish our qr code scanner on play store.

What is the difference between val and const val in kotlin?

Mujeeb Khan — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 11:41:53 +0000

If you’re new to Kotlin, you might be wondering what is need of const val when we have val? 🤔

Both are the same, Right? 🤔

Then this article is for you. 😄

The main difference between val and const val is that val can be assigned a value at runtime, whereas const val must be assigned a value at compile time and cannot be changed afterward(their values are hardcoded).

/*
const val eg.
*/
const val baseUrl  = "https://rickandmortyapi.com/api"

/*
val eg.
*/
val db = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance()

const val can only be declared at the top level of a file or inside an object declaration, whereas val can be declared anywhere within a function, class or object.

Example of const val deceleration at the top level of file


package com.example.admindashboard

import android.content.Intent
import android.os.Bundle
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import com.example.admindashboard.databinding.ActivityMainBinding
import com.example.admindashboard.ui.AddBooks
import com.example.admindashboard.ui.ControlPanelActivity
import com.example.admindashboard.ui.NotifficationActivity

const val message = "Hello "                // correct

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    const val message2 = "hello again"      // incorrect

// other code
    var binding: ActivityMainBinding? = null
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        binding = ActivityMainBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)
        setContentView(binding!!.root)

    }

}

Example of const val declaration inside object

package com.example.admindashboard.utils

import com.google.firebase.database.FirebaseDatabase
import com.google.firebase.storage.FirebaseStorage

object FirebaseUtils {

    const val bookNodeName = "books"  // const val declaration

    val firebaseDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance()

    var pyqRef = firebaseDatabase.getReference("pyq")


}
