Ready-to-Use UI for the Android MRZ Scanner Module
Overview
With the Scanbot SDK's Ready-To-Use UI Components (RTU UI), you can integrate scanning functionalities into your app with only a few lines of code. This way, you benefit from tried-and-true UX design and straightforward integration while still being able to customize the visual appearance to match your brand.
To achieve an even higher degree of customization, you can implement your own UI and business logic using the SDK's Classic UI Components.
Adding the feature as a dependency
MRZScanner is included in Scanbot SDK package 2. Therefore, add the dependency io.scanbot:sdk-package-2 or higher in your build.gradle along with the necessary assets:
implementation("io.scanbot:sdk-package-2:$latestVersion")
implementation("io.scanbot:sdk-mrz-assets:$latestSdkVersion")
implementation("io.scanbot:rtu-ui-v2-bundle:$latestSdkVersion")
