Android. Howto read Aztec Codes from within my App?

Question

I would like to embed an Aztec Code reader into my app. I need control over the GUI to

• place some buttons around the camera view, while reading the code
• to be able to switch the camera on / off (to save the battery)

What I found was

• ZXing - which is not reliable yet.
• Apps with an own SDK like neoreader, which do not give me the control over my GUI.

Is there a solution for that problem? Maybe som libs? Proprietary libs?

Answer 1

I found a proprietary lib from manateeworks.com They do offer a lib, which can be used to decode Aztec Codes

Answer 2

In case anyone is looking for a more up-to-date answer to this question, as I was when I came across this thread a couple of hours ago:

As of Google Play Services 8.4.0 release, Aztec barcodes are supported in the vision.barcode package. So you can now detect them from the camera in the same way as you do for other supported types of barcode.
