如何将ZXing集成到Android Studio项目中，以便我可以在Core目录中编辑代码

Question

I've been able to add ZXing by simply adding the dependency in my gradle file, however this doesn't let me edit the code of ZXing.

I'm wanting to access the 2d boolean array that is passed to the Decoder class in ZXing core directory, however to do this I need to edit the code directly.

I tried adding ZXing Core as a module, but as it has no gradle files I could not.

How can I integrate ZXing in this way? (ie in such a way that I can edit the files of the library)

Answer 1

In case anyone has the same problem as me, I had to download the source files for ZXing core, create a new android studio project using those downloaded source files, make sure that project compiled smoothly on its own, then in my actual project, I added to the dependencies section of my cradle file:

compile project(":ZXINGPROJECTNAME")

Don't leave out that colon. Worked fine after that
