How to create your own QR Code and Barcode scanner reader Android App? - complete source code

This video shows the steps to create your own QR code (Quick response) and barcode scanner Android App in Android Studio. It uses zxing library 'com.journeyapps:zxing-android-embedded:4.0.2'.

In this video it shows how to create an IntentIntegrator object to scan the codes from your phone. The code in this video has been kept very simple to follow.

The testing of the App has been done using a real phone as camera features aren't emulated in the emulator. The screenshots of the test results and complete project source code is available on the below webpage:
