Research zxing-cpp

Open TheLastProject opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

zxing has sadly not received a single commit in 4 months and version bumps are being actively closed. It seems we may really need to migrate, also so we can hopefully support more codes, like the increasingly commonly used RSS Expanded (#2540).

zxing-cpp seems more actively maintained and has an Android wrapper. Given it is a fork of zxing, it might be the least amount of work to migrate to.

Research zxing-cpp and perhaps migrate.

Can sadly state it's at least not a drop-in replacement. Trying to just replace it without thinking fills Android with Unresolved reference 'BarcodeFormat' errors. Probably more errors will come up when fixing that.

Got quite a good reply in https://github.com/zxing-cpp/zxing-cpp/discussions/973

Looks like I should consider using https://github.com/markusfisch/zxing-cpp, which is also used by Binary Eye :)
