Quick Scanner – QR generator and scanner, barcode scanner and document scanner(Kotlin)

Introduction

In today's digital age, scanning and generating QR codes, barcodes, and documents has become an essential task for many industries. Whether you're a developer, a business owner, or a user, having a reliable and efficient tool to perform these tasks can save you time and increase productivity. That's where the Quick Scanner app comes in.

Quick Scanner is a powerful and easy-to-use app that allows you to generate QR codes, scan barcodes, and scan documents with just a few taps. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to use the Quick Scanner app to perform these tasks and create a comprehensive guide for developers who want to integrate its functionality into their own apps.

Prerequisites

Before we dive into the tutorial, make sure you have the following:

• Android Studio installed on your computer
• Kotlin programming language installed and configured
• The Quick Scanner app installed on your Android device

Tutorial: Using the Quick Scanner App

Step 1: Generating a QR Code

To generate a QR code using the Quick Scanner app, follow these steps:

1. Open the Quick Scanner app on your Android device.
2. Tap on the "QR Code" button at the bottom of the screen.
3. Enter the text, URL, or data you want to encode in the "Content" field.
4. Choose the desired QR code size and error correction level.
5. Tap the "Generate" button to create the QR code.

Step 2: Scanning a Barcode

To scan a barcode using the Quick Scanner app, follow these steps:

1. Open the Quick Scanner app on your Android device.
2. Tap on the "Barcode" button at the bottom of the screen.
3. Position the camera over the barcode you want to scan.
4. The app will automatically detect and decode the barcode.
5. You can then copy the scanned data or use it as needed.

Step 3: Scanning a Document

To scan a document using the Quick Scanner app, follow these steps:

1. Open the Quick Scanner app on your Android device.
2. Tap on the "Document" button at the bottom of the screen.
3. Position the camera over the document you want to scan.
4. The app will automatically detect and extract the text from the document.
5. You can then copy the scanned text or use it as needed.

Step 4: Integrating the Quick Scanner App into Your Own App

To integrate the Quick Scanner app into your own app, you'll need to use the Quick Scanner API. Here's an example of how to do it in Kotlin:

Kotlin Code

import android.content.Intent
import android.os.Bundle
import android.widget.Button
import android.widget.Toast

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private lateinit var qrCodeButton: Button
    private lateinit var barcodeButton: Button
    private lateinit var documentButton: Button

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        qrCodeButton = findViewById(R.id.qr_code_button)
        barcodeButton = findViewById(R.id.barcode_button)
        documentButton = findViewById(R.id.document_button)

        qrCodeButton.setOnClickListener {
            val intent = Intent(this, QRCodeActivity::class.java)
            startActivity(intent)
        }

        barcodeButton.setOnClickListener {
            val intent = Intent(this, BarcodeActivity::class.java)
            startActivity(intent)
        }

        documentButton.setOnClickListener {
            val intent = Intent(this, DocumentActivity::class.java)
            startActivity(intent)
        }
    }
}

class QRCodeActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_qr_code)

        val qrCodeText = findViewById<EditText>(R.id.qr_code_text)
        val generateButton = findViewById<Button>(R.id.generate_button)

        generateButton.setOnClickListener {
            val qrCodeContent = qrCodeText.text.toString()
            val qrCode = QuickScanner.generateQRCode(qrCodeContent)
            Toast.makeText(this, "QR Code generated", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
    }
}

class BarcodeActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_barcode)

        val barcodeScanner = QuickScanner.getBarcodeScanner(this)
        barcodeScanner.scanBarcode(object : QuickScanner.BarcodeScannerCallback {
            override fun onScanned(data: String) {
                Toast.makeText(this@BarcodeActivity, "Barcode scanned: $data", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }
        })
    }
}

class DocumentActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_document)

        val documentScanner = QuickScanner.getDocumentScanner(this)
        documentScanner.scanDocument(object : QuickScanner.DocumentScannerCallback {
            override fun onScannedText(text: String) {
                Toast.makeText(this@DocumentActivity, "Document scanned: $text", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            }
        })
    }
}
