Nice QR code reader.. but... Does anyone know what permissions you need to add to Android Studio to get this to work within an Android app (as a webview)? I've added the camera and write external permissions.. but within the app it says "NotAllowedError: Permission denied". Though if I load up the url within Chrome it works fine. (The url is https)

Thanks.

I am facing the same issue and having little progress with the solution provided here > https://stackoverflow.com/a/61609282/4679429

Basically you also need to further grant the camera permission {RESOURCE_VIDEO_CAPTURE} within webview. Include following code in the WebChromeClient().

@OverRide
public void onPermissionRequest(final PermissionRequest request) {
final String[] requestedResources = request.getResources();
for (String r : requestedResources) {
if (r.equals(PermissionRequest.RESOURCE_VIDEO_CAPTURE)) {
request.grant(new String[]{PermissionRequest.RESOURCE_VIDEO_CAPTURE});
break;
}
}
}

It open the camera successfully now but then another issue comes, which is the camera view won't move (freeze) when I moving the phone and the camera view only update when I touch any place on phone screen. Does anyone has idea on this issue ?


Updated:

I found the solution for the aforementioned issue (camera freeze), basically just need to add an animated SVG into the background of the camera to keep the android webview updated > mebjas/html5-qrcode#659

That has nothing to do with the library, it's a limit imposed by the browser.

What a great tool!

Like others, I keep wondering if there's a way to prioritize the back camera, I never have the QR code on my face, it's always in front of me so I want to use the back camera first.
