I am able to scan qr code with camera without using any external libraries like ZBAR or ZXING.
Now what I actually want is to let the user upload an image from photo library and get the qr code scanned from that uploaded image.
I know how to use UIImagePickerController (used it before).
What I want to ask is that,
How can I scan qr code from an uploaded image (without using the camera)
You can suggest some code (.h / .m files) that I can add in my project.
Please don't suggest me any external libraries like ZBAR or ZXING.
I know you might have found solution for this but i am replying to the post if my answer may help other for relevant question.
Here I am posting my code to ScanQRCode from image picked from gallery without using any Library.
func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [String : AnyObject]) {
if let pickedImage = info[UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage] as? UIImage {
let detector:CIDetector=CIDetector(ofType: CIDetectorTypeQRCode, context: nil, options: [CIDetectorAccuracy:CIDetectorAccuracyHigh])
let ciImage:CIImage = CIImage(image:pickedImage)!
var qrCodeLink = ""
let features=detector.featuresInImage(ciImage)
for feature in features as! [CIQRCodeFeature] {
qrCodeLink += feature.messageString
}
print(qrCodeLink)//Your result from QR Code
}
dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
In Apple's iOS, a QR code reader is not natively included. Therefore there is no API from Apple you can use.
You have to rely either or third party SDKs or write your own code.
