Android How to read QR code in my application

Question

In my application I need to read Qr code  I searched the net and found Zing codes however lots of developers had problem with using it and it seems it is buggy   If i assume that my customers has qr reader installed on their device  how can i use those applications and call them via implicit intents    if user doesn t have any qr reader  what will happen to the application  if it crashes  may i ask user to download for example QrDroid and after that use it

if user doesn t have any qr reader  what will happen to the application  if it crashes  may i ask user to download for example QrDroid and after that use it   Interestingly  Google now introduced Mobile Vision APIs  they are integrated in play services itself  In your Gradle file just add  compile  com google android gms play-services-vision 11 4 0   Taken from this QR code tutorial  UPDATE 2020  Now QR code scanning is also a part of ML Kit  so you can bundle the model inside the app and use it by integrating the following gradle dependency  dependencies                 Use this dependency to bundle the model with your app   implementation  com google mlkit barcode-scanning 16 0 3     Or you can use the following gradle dependency to dynamically download the models from Google Play Services  dependencies                 Use this dependency to use the dynamically downloaded model in Google Play Services   implementation  com google android gms play-services-mlkit-barcode-scanning 16 1 2     Taken from this link

Use a QR library like ZXing    I had very good experience with it  QrDroid is much buggier  If you must rely on an external reader  rely on a standard one like Google Goggles
