Doesn't work on the Optimus 7. Just says scanning. Used many diffrent products and many different lighting situations.

I do have LG handset for tests, so will try when I have a time...

P.S. Seems like HTC phones have a better autofocus implementation than other manufacturer's models.

QR barcodes do always work.

Works perfect on Samasung Focus even under low light.
Great start! Thanks and looking forward to any updates.

Hi guys.

Who wanted a free barcode scanner? Here we are...

No network connection needed; app based on zxing library and Kevin Marshall's (from Clarity Consulting, can't remember his blog url now) code.

I just slightly modified the original code and added a few (probably useful but not sure ) services.

App interface is very simple: run application, focus on barcode, and wait until code is recognized. Touch handset screen to run recognition again.

Buttons description:
- "Save" saves captured barcode to jpeg;
- "Bing" and "Google" used for barcode web lookup (probably this part needs more work)
- "Mail" and "SMS" used for sending recognized code text.

Enjoy!

UPDATE 1: v 1.1, auto focus added;

UPDATE 2: v 1.2, orientation-less UI added, project moved to opensource at googlecode: http://code.google.com/p/barcodescan/

UPDATE 3: v 1.2.1, slightly changed autofocus logic, now works better on HTC. Download link: http://barcodescan.googlecode.com/files/BarcodeScanner.xap

UPDATE 4: v 1.2.2
- barcode search improved;
- added HTC detection, changes in autofocus logic;
http://barcodescan.googlecode.com/files/BarcodeScanner_1.2.2.xap

Thanx a lot. But it dosent work with HTC HD 2. I didnt know that .xap is windows aplication. Is It?

What do you mean? XAP is a Silverligfht package (also can say - it's just a simple zip archive). But in this topic we are talking about WP7 xap's only. You should sideload the app to your HD2 first (browse forum for howto's).

Thanks for the app. It works really good except for one thing. The option to open scenned text as URL in the browser is must to have for QR codes. Now, if scan QR with URL I have to use either EMAIL or SMS function and then copy paste it to the browser

Sorry, agree 100% but I just don't have time for that app (hardworking on the real interesting stuff for wp7 )
BTW, app is opensource and everybody are welcome to join. As a good start point I may recommend Android app "Barcode scanner", it will take about couple of days to implement 90% of functionality.

Thanks for reply. I've made the modification myself. Now there is "Open" button which is enabled only if you scan a URL.

Thanks, I'll try it

BTW, new Mango's (Bing button) search features makes this program obsolete (however my Focus camera have the same problem with autofocus! I think it's Samsung' driver bug, not MS!)

Does anyone know of some good vb samples for barcode scanning? I am trying to make an app for inventory barcodes for the laptops at work.

Thanks.

This App is open source (but C#, not VB): http://code.google.com/p/barcodescan/source/browse/

Maybe this website will help you to convert: http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/csharp-to-vb/
