Hi - I am using the BarcodeScanner object and I can't make it do what I need. I am able to scan most QR codes using AppInventor's internal scanner, but it doesn't want to read any codes that were produced by Dymo Connect (which is what I need). No other reader has trouble reading them. These are very simple codes with a word or two of text. I suspect the problem has to do with he zxing library since that's what's used by AppInventor's internal scanner.
I'd prefer not to use an external scanner app (by enabling that feature in the BarcodeScanner object), but I would do that if I could make it work. The zxing app seems to be the only external app on Android that AppInventor can find when it looks for the external app. I am only guessing that this is the case since it's the only one I have ever seen mentioned. Unfortunately, it's no longer on the Play Store adn the github repo says that it is no longer supported and doesn't work on modern Android OS. I've tried every other barcode reader app I could find and AppInventor always says "your device does not have a scanning application installed".
Am I just out of luck?
Thanks,
Rob
