supported. It's a very quick and high quality QR scanner able to easily scan
very high density QR codes from Pixels. Every 2 seconds, it will refresh auto
focus, auto exposure and auto white balance on the scanning square. It has
- full support for zooming in and out. Support for other kinds of barcodes will
- be added in the future, but adding them transparently would result in getting
- false positives and would substantially harm the QR scanning capability. It
- will need to be done in a way offering more control without having an overly
- complex user interface.
+ full support for zooming in and out. The torch can be toggled with the button
+ at the bottom center. The auto toggle at the bottom left can be used to toggle
+ scanning for all supported barcode types. Alternatively, you can select which
+ barcode types it should scan via the menu at the top. It only scans QR codes
+ by default since that provides quick and reliable scanning. Most other types
+ of barcodes can result in false positives. Each enabled type will slow down
+ the scanning and will make it more prone to false positives. This is generally
+ fine for simple codes but it would be quite difficult to scan a dense QR code
+ with all types enabled.
Camera permission is the only one that's required. Images and videos are
stored via the Media Store API so media/storage permissions aren't required.
