I'm trying to implement the code from answer #1 from this thread in Flutter.
The "invokeMethod" is correctly set and the Android gets correctly called. When I try to add the specific code that should come from the library "com.google.zxing", I don't understand how to import it.
I tried putting it into the Android gradle, but the zxing class methods remain "red" in MainActivity, as the library doesn't get imported.
Maybe there is a specific procedure to import external dependencies?
Apparently I had to import it this way in the class:
import com.google.zxing.*;
import com.google.zxing.common.*;
As the object "HybridBinarizer" is defined in the second one, and couldn't be retrieved otherwise.
As of the gradle, I had to add the dependency this way:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.google.zxing:core:3.3.0'
}
in the file project/android/build.gradle, similar to the traditional Android way but using classpath instead of compile.
Another thing, a method of the zxing library (i.e. Result) was giving an error since the Result class was already defined in another library (io.flutter.plugin.common.MethodChannel.Result).
I solved this problem by creating a separate Java class and simply putting all the zxing methods there.
if you're write a flutter plugin and want to add dependency to your android side you have to go to your build.gradle file and add dependencies block below the android block
android {
compileSdkVersion 31
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 16
}
}
// you're dependencies block are here and put you're dependency inside it like you would in any normal android project
dependencies {
// your dependency here
implementation 'org.jsoup:jsoup:1.15.1'
}
