Installing the Android Barcode Scanner SDK

Specifying the Maven repository​

The Scanbot SDK for Android is distributed through our private Maven repository server (nexus.scanbot.io), which needs to be specified in the settings.gradle.kts file in the root folder of your project:

// settings.gradle.kts in the root of the project:
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()

        // Add Scanbot SDK maven repositories here:
        maven(url = "https://nexus.scanbot.io/nexus/content/repositories/releases/")
        maven(url = "https://nexus.scanbot.io/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/")
    }
}

Afterward, the dependencies can be added in the dependencies section of your Android application project configuration, usually in the app/build.gradle.kts file.

Adding the main SDK dependency​

implementation("io.scanbot:scanbot-barcode-scanner-sdk:$scanbotSdkVersion")

Adding the RTU UI dependency​

The Scanbot Ready-to-Use UI Components are distributed as a separate package io.scanbot:rtu-ui-v2-barcode. If you plan to integrate our Ready-to-Use UI screens, add it as a dependency to your project as well:

implementation("io.scanbot:rtu-ui-v2-barcode:$scanbotSdkVersion")
