Install ZXing into Android Studio

Question

I am new to installing libraries and I have a really hard time installing ZXing which is a library downloaded from GitHub that makes use of QR codes. Could you please tell me what steps to follow to install it?

Answer 1

Seems like Zxing is on maven : http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.zxing

You should be able to import it by adding its name to your build.gradle file.

To be very specific, this will do the trick :

compile 'com.google.zxing:core:3.1.0'

Answer 2

Asumming you mean how to use it, I usually prefer just getting the .jar file version from the internet, and copying it into the libs folder in my android application folder. In Netbeans, it is automatically loaded and you can use it immediately. Saves me quite some time.
