I want to make an Android app that uses the camera to take a photo of a barcode for a product to get the number of barcode, but I have some problem to make the implementation.

The main question is how can I use the camera to take a picture to recognize the id of this barcode without using any external application.

Thanks for your help!

  • Android has no native barcode recognition facilities. Barcode reader apps in the market do their own image recognition to "read" barcodes. See this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2240341/reading-barcodes-with-android – Marc B May 10 '12 at 18:42

Why won't you use the external application? This is the power of Android apps - they can use each other functionality, which is implemented perfectly in their app.
