Installation

To add dependency into your project, Add below lines in build.gradle of your project:

allprojects {
	repositories {
		...
		maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
	}
}

Then, add below lines in build.gradle of your app module:

dependencies {
        compile 'com.github.SumiMakito:AwesomeQRCode:1.0.6'
}

Quick Start

1. "I just wanna get a Bitmap"

In this case, QR code will be generated synchronously. Thus it means you may take a risk blocking the UI thread, which would lead to Application Not Responding (ANR). I strongly recommend you to use it in a non-UI thread.

new Thread() {
  @Override
  public void run() {
   super.run();
   Bitmap qrCode = new AwesomeQRCode.Renderer()
    .contents("Makito loves Kafuu Chino.")
    .size(800).margin(20)
    .render();
  }.start();

2. Generate a QR code asynchronously and show the QR code in an ImageView

new AwesomeQRCode.Renderer()
 .contents("Makito loves Kafuu Chino.")
 .size(800).margin(20)
 .renderAsync(new AwesomeQRCode.Callback() {
  @Override
  public void onRendered(AwesomeQRCode.Renderer renderer, final Bitmap bitmap) {
   runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
     // Tip: here we use runOnUiThread(...) to avoid the problems caused by operating UI elements from a non-UI thread.
     imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
    }
   });
  }

  @Override
  public void onError(AwesomeQRCode.Renderer renderer, Exception e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
  }
 });
