Suggestion: QR code reader element for Silica
asked 2013-12-26 04:11:16 +0200
Inspired by the QR code reader question - what about a QR code reader QML element for the Silica components ?
It would be basically just a normal Camera element with QR code detector, that would fire a signal once a QR code was detected, returning the detected payload. Like this, all Silica using apps could seamlessly integrate QR code functionality, enabling many useful uses (transferring notes, links, POIs, game achievements, contacts, WiFi passwords, visit cards, etc.) without extra effort for the application developers. :)
On a related note, something like this seems to be already available in the Cascades QML components for the BlackBerry 10 platform.
Possible resources for implementing QR code reader element for Silica:
QZXing- QtQuick 2.0 plugin for reading QR codes, 2D barcodes and many other formats based on the zxing library: https://github.com/dplanella/qzxing
BTW, actually already works on Sailfish and is being used by the QRScany application.
generic barcode reader element supporting also QR codes

I would really welcome such a component, since it would be reinventing the wheel over and over for different applications otherwise.
