There are two ways to integrate the UI components into your application:

• Ready-to-Use UI Components
• Classic UI Components

Adding the feature as a dependency

VinScanner 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:$latestSdkVersion")
implementation("io.scanbot:sdk-textpattern-assets:$latestSdkVersion")

Initializing the SDK

The Scanbot SDK must be initialized before use. Add the following code snippet to your Application class:

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.
