So well, yess, people preffer using intents because it is much easier! but the google barcodescanner must be installed, otherwise you have to handle the exeptions (when you start the intent put it into a try and if it does not work let a dialog pop up or so...) and yesss, something you should know about intents, sometimes it doesn't handle the orientation changes right! ok, i just found out, that the emulator does not support the android market, so what you can do is look in some filesharing sites and download the apk and then upload it to some website, and then install it via the webbrowser onto your emulator. thats the only thing, i could think of.
to your problem of the barcode scanner, it is going to be hard to get that to work.... isn't there something black and white, when you start the camera on the emulator? couldn't you maybee just change that picture to a barcode one? but i have now idea how you would do that... sorry if i couldn't help you as much as you would prefer... regards joe On 22 Sep., 20:57, wahib haq <wahib.t...@gmail.com> wrote: > hi joe.
