QR/Bar Code Reading API

Question

I was looking to try to create an app that would read a bar code or QR code etc. then use that information to do a database look up. Pretty simple really.

I have been having trouble finding a tutorial about using the camera to read a bar code (or similar technology).  I figure that this has to be easy enough to do. 

Answer 1

Here is a blog post for scanning QR code. See this for barcode scanning.
