Description
This is an android application able to read the Spanish "National Lottery" by scanning the barcode printed on the lottery ticket and query a server to check if it has any prize.
Features
- Shows on the screen the ticked data formatted like an original lottery ticket.
- Uses a intent to launch the Google ZXing barcode scanner (http://code.google.com/p/zxing/).
- If ZXing is not installed, shows an alert dialog and redirects the user to the Android Market page.
- Can be used as a base project to support more lotteries.
- Uses a scraper to the official page (http://www.onlae.es/loteria/comprobar.aspx) to check the prize.
This is an example of an spanish national lottery ticket in which you can see the barcode:
