Answer 1

ZXing (pronounced "zebra crossing") is an open-source, multi-format 1D/2D barcode image processing library implemented in Java, with ports to other languages. Our focus is on using the built-in camera on mobile phones to scan and decode barcodes on the device, without communicating with a server. However the project can be used to encode and decode barcodes on desktops and servers as well. We currently support these formats:

UPC-A and UPC-E
EAN-8 and EAN-13
Code 39 

Code 93
Code 128
ITF 

Codabar
RSS-14 (all variants)
QR Code 

Data Matrix
Aztec ('beta' quality)
PDF 417 ('alpha' quality)

Use Zxing IntentIngegrator to integrate Zxing in you project. This link may help - http://code.google.com/p/zxing/wiki/ScanningViaIntent

You'll find the test project in the bottom of the page.

This code with IntentIntegrator will scan anything supported.

 /* Code copied from ZxingTestActivity */
 private final Button.OnClickListener scanAnything = new Button.OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
      IntentIntegrator integrator = new IntentIntegrator(ZXingTestActivity.this);
      integrator.initiateScan();
    }
  };
