BarcodeScanner

Added version that runs with windows mobile devices. To run on those devices, the zxing.net library must be added to the project (Install as nuget packet - more information on http://www.nuget.org/packages/ZXing.Net)

Windows Phone currently only supports Scaning for codes, feel free to extend it that it can also encode.

Cross-platform BarcodeScanner for Cordova / PhoneGap.

Follows the Cordova Plugin spec, so that it works with Plugman.

Note: the Android source for this project includes an Android Library Project. plugman currently doesn't support Library Project refs, so its been prebuilt as a jar library. Any updates to the Library Project should be committed with an updated jar.

Using the plugin

The plugin creates the object cordova/plugin/BarcodeScanner with the method scan(success, fail).

The following barcode types are currently supported:

Android

QR_CODE
DATA_MATRIX
UPC_E
UPC_A
EAN_8
EAN_13
CODE_128
CODE_39
CODE_93
CODABAR
ITF
RSS14
PDF417
RSS_EXPANDED

iOS

QR_CODE
DATA_MATRIX
UPC_E
UPC_A
EAN_8
EAN_13
CODE_128
CODE_39
ITF

success and fail are callback functions. Success is passed an object with data, type and cancelled properties. Data is the text representation of the barcode data, type is the type of barcode detected and cancelled is whether or not the user cancelled the scan.

On iOS and Android you can pass in options to (ignored on WP8):

preferFrontCamera default false: prefer starting the scanner with the front camera (if multiple cameras are available).
showFlipCameraButton default false: show a button on the scan UI to toggle the back/front camera (if multiple cameras are available).

A full example could be:

   cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(
      function (result) {
          alert("We got a barcode\n" +
                "Result: " + result.text + "\n" +
                "Format: " + result.format + "\n" +
                "Cancelled: " + result.cancelled);
      }, 
      function (error) {
          alert("Scanning failed: " + error);
      },
      {
          "preferFrontCamera" : true,
          "showFlipCameraButton" : true
      }
   );

Encoding a Barcode

The plugin creates the object cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner with the method encode(type, data, success, fail). Supported encoding types:

TEXT_TYPE
EMAIL_TYPE
PHONE_TYPE
SMS_TYPE

A full example could be:

   cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.encode(BarcodeScanner.Encode.TEXT_TYPE, "http://www.nytimes.com", function(success) {
  	        alert("encode success: " + success);
  	      }, function(fail) {
  	        alert("encoding failed: " + fail);
  	      }
  	    );
