Get The Reader¶ | Platform | Support | Android¶The application is available on the Android Market. It is called Barcode Scanner, and can be found under the Applications/Shopping category. Advanced users can download the latest version directly. | - HTC G1, Magic (aka myTouch), Hero
- Motorola Droid
- Samsung Galaxy
- Other Android devices
| iPhone¶The application is called Barcodes. Visit the iTunes App Store. | | Blackberry¶The Blackberry client is not actively tested or maintained. If it does not work, we suggest you try another reader. | - RIM Blackberry devices with a built-in camera, such as the Curve series
| J2ME¶The J2ME client is currently not actively supported. We will accept bug fixes and suggested changes but do not have the capability or desire to investigate or work around phone-specific problems. If it does not work on your phone, we suggest you try another reader. Navigate to this address in your phone's browser: http://zxing.org/w/ (The application URL, directly, is: http://zxing.org/w/BarcodeReader.jad) Alternatively, if the application fails on your phone or it does not support JSR-234, you can try the basic version. | We support a number of J2ME phones, with the following requirements: - A camera (obviously)
- Auto-focus capability, and preferably macro mode or optical zoom
- Support for Java applications (developers: MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1)
- Support for basic multimedia in Java (developers: MMAPI / JSR-135)
- (Optional but pretty important) Support for advanced multimedia functionality (developers: AMMS / JSR-234)
- (Optional, but needed to resolve URLs) Internet access from the phone
Supported Phones¶This list is still under construction, as we have not had an opportunity to test on many devices. We believe it will work on devices like these below (and those in the same "family"): - Sony Ericsson K550, K610, K630, K790, K800, K810, K850, T650i, V640, W580, W610, W660, W710, W830, W850, W880, W910, Z610, Z750
- Nokia 6500, 7500, 7900, 6260, 6110
Please let us know what your experience is. Partially Supported Phones¶Here are a few that should work but in a limited fashion, since they don't have focus controls available: - Sony Ericsson K510, K750, W810
- Nokia 6131, N73, N80, N91, 6300, E51, E65, E70, N95 (installs, but no focus control?)
- Samsung U600
- Amoi WP-S1
- Motorola E1000
Unsupported Phones¶- Windows Mobile devices
- Anything without a camera or Java
- Devices on Sprint network? These appear to need signed applications, but we need more testing
- Sony Ericsson M600i, Z520a (?)
- Nokia 3230, 6620, 6630, 5300 (?), N70, N80
- Samsung A707, A920
- Palm Centro
| I get some kind of error! It doesn't run at all!¶See the list of requirements above -- this typically means your phone does not have all the required API support. While the application should be written correctly, and attempts to avoid known bugs in certain platforms, particularly Nokia devices, it is still known to not work on several devices. In these cases we are unable to work around a problem but welcome patches that may provide solutions. For J2ME phones, you can try the "basic" version above. We can recommend other readers that have put lots of effort into running on a wide range of phones You may have better luck with an application written natively for the platform rather than for J2ME. In particular, on Nokias, native reader applications seem to work far better than those that use their (sometimes buggy) J2ME implementations. Visit Semapedia.org and see the "Find and install a 2D barcode reader" section to find other software for your phone. Also see our InterestingLinks wiki.
