App doesn't use installed QR scanner to scan barcodes and QR codes.

Question

If I try to scan a bar code or QR code when adding a shipment to be tracked, it wants to use 2 random apps i have (one a restaurant and one a pharmacy) instead of using (or asking to use) the QR reader app I have installed.

I have a screenshot if needed.

Answer 1

I have the same problem.  I have several installed barcode readers but when I select the 'read barcode' option it only offers me Google Goggles and a Quiznos store app and they don't work for this. How do I get it to see that there are other readers and use one of them?

Answer 2

Sorry for the late response.

Many barcode scanners do not offer their functionality for third party apps.

Please use this one instead: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxing.client.android
