react-native-barcode-android

A barcode scanner component for React Native Android. For iOS you can use https://github.com/lwansbrough/react-native-camera. The library depends on https://github.com/dm77/barcodescanner and https://github.com/zxing/zxing.

Breaking change

React native 0.19 changed the ReactProps class which led to problems with updating native view properties (see https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/5649). These errors are corrected in react-native-barcode-android version 1.0.1. Use version 1.0.1 and larger for react native >=0.19 and for earlier react native versions use version 0.1.4.

Installation

npm i --save react-native-barcode-android

Add it to your android project

• In android/settings.gradle

  ...
  include ':ReactNativeBarcodescanner', ':app'
  project(':ReactNativeBarcodescanner').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-barcode-android/android')

• In android/app/build.gradle

  ...
  dependencies {
      ...
      compile project(':ReactNativeBarcodescanner')
  }

• register module (in MainActivity.java)

  Add the following import statement:

  import com.eguma.barcodescanner.BarcodeScanner;

  ...and then add BarcodeScanner to exported package list (MainActivity.java#getPackages):

  public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
      // (...)
   
      @Override
      protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
        return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new BarcodeScanner()
        );
      }
  }

Example

import React, {
  AppRegistry,
  Component,
} from 'react-native';
import BarcodeScanner from 'react-native-barcode-android';
 
class BarcodeScannerExampleApp extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
 
    this.state = {
      torchMode: 'off',
      cameraType: 'back',
    };
  }
 
  barcodeReceived(e) {
    console.log('Barcode: ' + e.data);
    console.log('Type: ' + e.type);
  }
 
  render() {
    return (
      <BarcodeScanner
        onBarCodeRead={this.barcodeReceived}
        style={{ flex: 1 }}
        torchMode={this.state.torchMode}
        cameraType={this.state.cameraType}
      />
