Hi all I've been hacking away at maemo-barcode (now called mbarcode to remove the maemo bit as we're not supposed to use that;) and have made some progress.
The code is here: https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/branches/simon_wip/maemo-barcode/?root=maemo-barcode binaries here: (you need to install libdmtx0, then just run the mbarcode binary after chmod'ing it): http://people.bath.ac.uk/enpsgp/nokia770/mbarcode/fremantle/ I should add that the code should also run on Diablo, but the diablo dir on the above webpage is out of date so you'll need to compile it yourself (please let me know if it doesn't compile/run). I plan on supporting both Fremantle and Diablo devices, don't worry! In terms of features: 1D (EAN13/UPC12), datamatrix and QR codes are supported. For 1D codes mbarcode will attempt a very basic webscrape of Amazon and will (hopefully) return a title (rather than a segfault). For URLs encoded in a QR code/datamatrix it will open the webbrowser and for vCards it will add them to your contacts. The UI is very rough and ready and needs serious work; the webscraper is very basic and could do with more love (there are some other basic codes in the source, but they are disabled as I've not had time to debug them yet); the database functions on the latter notebook pages also need serious work (the goal being to be able to store details about barcodes you've scanned - mainly 1D products, e.g. DVDs, Books, etc.). So all in all it's still work in progress, but it does at least work well enough to test. Except that I use dialogs to ask the user if they want to open a decoded URL/add a decoded vCard, and if these dialogs are displayed the UI locks up straight afterwards. If I comment them out the code continues quite happily after opening the browser/adding the URL, so the fault must presumably lie with the dialogs. Any ideas what might be going wrong here? I am also open, of course, to patches for anything, but especially webscraping fixes, debianisation, UI thoughts, etc. I imagine I'm going to have to split the source code into some separate files for diablo/fremantle (e.g. camera code, gui code as these will be significantly different) rather than using lots of #ifdefs, does this sound reasonable?
