Android PubSubTutorial QR Code Scanner Bug

asked 2012-03-01 03:47:59 -0600

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.

I have been running the PubSubTutorial app on my phone and it work perfectly fine except for when I try to scan a QR Code of the host IP Address. When I click the scan button in the app, it opens up the Bar Code scanner app on my phone, but when I scan the QR Code I get the following message:

"The application PubSubTutorial (process org.ros.android.app_chooser) has stopped unexpectedly."

After doing some digging around in the code behind the app, in particular how it handles the QR code scanning I came across this line(80) in org.android.ros.masterchooser:

Preconditions.checkstate(intent.getStringExtra("Scan_Result_Format").equals("Text_Type"));

After looking at what Preconditions.checkstate() and what intent.getStringExtra("Scan_Result_Format") does, I'm under the impression that the sole purpose of this line is to validate that the input is text.

If I comment out line 80 and scan in a QR code with the IP Address as text, the app works until I press "Ok" and then I get an "Invalid URI" message.

I changed my QR code to the IP Address as a URL, and the PubSubTutorial works correctly now.

Has anyone else had similar issues with scanning in a QR code? Is this line of code incorrectly implemented? Or is it a problem with my bar code scanner application not returning the expected type?

Hi, I am trying to make the same app but I am having many problems with the PubSub and the scanner. May I ask for your assistance?

This bug is because intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT_FORMAT") is not "TEXT_TYPE".

I make a QR code on the following site, and the text extracted from intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT_FORMAT") is "QR_ CODE".

http://zxing.appspot.com/generator/

So, I think this is the easiest approach:

MasterChooser.java line 84: Preconditions.checkState(intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT_FORMAT").equals("QR_CODE"));

But this line seems to be intented to check whether a type of the data is text or not. So I guess there is a better approach.

I've used two resources are good, one is Zxing bar code scanner, another one is this bar code scanner. You can try them for getting the help.

i am using this QR code decoder c# to read barcodes, you can have a try, if the error continue coming up, it says it has nothing to do with the barcode software you are using. something wrong with the barcode encoder.

Here is a QR Code reader I have been using for over 1 year. It is very convenient. Share it with you.

I agree with you that dealing with the QR code manipulating project with the help of some professional barcode scanner can make all the progress much more convenient.

Btw, I am testing with the related QR code manager these days. Any good suggestion? Thanks in advance.
