Scanning barcodes from still images

In addition to detecting barcodes from a live camera stream, the Barcode Scanner SDK can scan barcodes from still images imported from the gallery or any other source.

Initializing the SDK

Before using the Scanbot SDK, it must be initialized.

Processing the image

Obtaining the image

Image picking is platform-specific in KMP. Implement platform-specific logic for Android and iOS, then convert the result to ImageRef.

Scanning barcodes

Call ScanbotSDK.barcode.scanFromImage() with the source image and a scanner configuration.

Handling the result

scanFromImage() returns a sealed Result type with two implementations:

• Result.Success — contains the BarcodeScannerResult with the detected barcodes.
• Result.Failure — contains the error if the scan could not be completed.

For all available methods, see the Result API reference.
