qr mobile vision

QR Mobile Vision #

Reading QR codes and other barcodes using Firebase's MLKit.
This plugin uses Android & iOS native APIs for reading images from the device's camera.
It then pipes these images both to the MLKit Vision Barcode API which detects barcodes/qrcodes etc,
and outputs a preview image to be shown on a flutter texture.
The plugin includes a widget which performs all needed transformations on the camera
output to show within the defined area.
Android Models #
With this new version of MLKit, there are two seperate models you can use to do the barcode scanning. Currently, this
apk chooses to use the build-in model. This will increase your code size by ~2.2MB but will
result in better scanning and won't require a seperate package to be downloaded in the background for barcode scanning
to work properly.
You could also use the Google Play Services and tell your app to download it on install from the play store. See the
instruction on the ml-kit barcode-scanning documentation page
for android. You would also have to remove the com.google.mlkit:barcode-scanning dependency; this hasn't been tested
but would probably go something like this:
configurations.all {
exclude group: "com.google.mlkit", module:"barcode-scanning"
}
// ...
dependencies {
// ...
// Use this dependency to use the dynamically downloaded model in Google Play Services
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-mlkit-barcode-scanning:16.1.4'
}

Note that if you do this, you should tell your app to automatically download the model as in the above linked docs.MLKit
<application ...>
...
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.mlkit.vision.DEPENDENCIES"
android:value="barcode" />

</application>

64 Bit Only on iOS #
Unfortunately, Google has only released MLKit as a 64 bit binary. That means that this plugin and therefore your app
don't support building or running on 32 bit. There were two possible approaches to dealing with this, but only one
made it so that most users will be able to use the plugin easily.app
When you upgrade, if you are targeting a version of iOS before 11, you'll see a warning during the pod install
and your app probably won't build (at least for release). That's because it'll be trying to build the 32-bit version and
won't find the required files.
The easy way to solve this is by updating to build for iOS 11 and later. To do this:

Add this line to your Podfile:

platform :ios, '11.0'
copied to clipboard

(optional) Make sure your podfile sets build versions to 11 - if you see this at the bottom of your podfile make sure
the line setting the deployment target to 11 is in there.

post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['ENABLE_BITCODE'] = 'NO'
config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '11.0'
end
end
end

Setting the iOS Deployment Target to 11 in XCode -> Runner -> Build Settings -> Deployment -> iOS Deployment Target.

Building for 64-bit before 11.0. #
If you absolutely need to build for devices before 11.0, you might need to use an old version of the library that supports
32-bit. If you're willing to live without 32 bit but do need to target before 11.0, you can do that by ignoring the warning
CocoaPods will give you, and setting XCode -> Runner -> Build Settings -> Architectures -> Architectures to ${ARCHS_STANDARD_64_BIT}.
Usage #
See the example for how to use this plugin; it is the best resource available as it shows
the plugin in use. However, these are the steps you need to take to
use this plugin.
First, figure out the area that you want the camera preview to be shown in. This is important
as the preview needs to have a constrained size or it won't be able to build. This
is required due to the complex nature of the transforms needed to get the camera preview to
show correctly on both iOS and Android, while still working with the screen rotated etc.
It may be possible to get the camera preview to work without putting it in a SizedBox or Container,
but the recommended way is to put it in a SizedBox or Container.
You then need to include the package and instantiate the camera.
import 'package:qr_mobile_vision/qr_camera.dart';

...

new SizedBox(
width: 300.0,
height: 600.0,
child: new QrCamera(
qrCodeCallback: (code) {
...
},
),
)

The QrCodeCallback can do anything you'd like, and wil keep receiving QR codes
until the camera is stopped.
There are also optional parameters to QrCamera.
fit #
Takes as parameter the flutter BoxFit.
Setting this to different values should get the preview image to fit in
different ways, but only BoxFit = cover has been tested extensively.
notStartedBuilder #
A callback that must return a widget if defined.
This should build whatever you want to show up while the camera is loading (which can take
from milliseconds to seconds depending on the device).
child #
Widget that is shown on top of the QrCamera. If you give it a specific size it may cause
weird issues so try not to.
key #
Standard flutter key argument. Can be used to get QrCameraState with a GlobalKey.
cameraDirection #
Uses a camera of the specified direction. Default is to use BACK
These are the support types:
FRONT,
BACK
copied to clipboard
offscreenBuilder #
A callback that must return a widget if defined.
This should build whatever you want to show up when the camera view is 'offscreen'.
i.e. when the app is paused. May or may not show up in preview of app.
onError #
Callback for if there's an error.
formats #
A list of supported formats, all by default. If you use all, you shouldn't define any others.
These are the supported types:
ALL_FORMATS,
AZTEC,
CODE_128,
CODE_39,
CODE_93,
CODABAR,
DATA_MATRIX,
EAN_13,
EAN_8,
ITF,
PDF417,
QR_CODE,
UPC_A,
UPC_E
copied to clipboard
direction #
Whether you want the front or the back camera to be used.
Toggle flash #
When the camera is running, you can use the QrCamera.toggleFlash() or QrMobileVision.toggleFlash() methods
to turn the flash on or off. A better solution is in the works for this, but I can't make a commitment for when
I'll have time to finish it.
Push and Pop #
If you push a new widget on top of a the current page using the navigator, the camera doesn't
necessarily know about it.
Contributions #
Anyone wanting to contribute to this project is very welcome to! I'll take a look at PR's as soon
as I can, and any bug reports are appreciated. I've only a few devices on which to test this
so feedback about other devices is appreciated as well.
This has been tested on:

Nexus 5x
Nexus 4
Pixel 3a
iPhone 7
