Integration​

Take a look at our example apps to see how to integrate the Check Scanner.

Adding the feature as a dependency​

CheckScanner is included in Scanbot SDK package 4. Therefore, add the dependency io.scanbot:sdk-package-4 or higher in your build.gradle:

implementation("io.scanbot:sdk-package-4:$latestVersion")
implementation("io.scanbot:sdk-check-assets:$latestSdkVersion")
caution

Do not use multiple scanners (e.g., MRZ Scanner and Credit Card Scanner) at the same time.

Each scanner instance requires a lot of memory, GPU, and processor resources. Using multiple scanners will lead to performance issues for the entire application.

Initializing the SDK​

In order to use the Check Scanner, you need to first initialize the Scanbot SDK.

InitializeScanbotSDK

caution

Unfortunately, we have noticed that all devices using a Cortex A53 processor DO NOT SUPPORT GPU acceleration. If you encounter any problems, please disable GPU acceleration for these devices.

ScanbotSDKInitializer()
        .allowGpuAcceleration(false)
