ZXing Barcode Android library getting ClassNotFoundException

Question

I am new to android. I am using zxing in my android project natively. I followed the steps here . But I get get classNotFoundException for capture activity of zxing lib when I call intent calling zxing android client. Also note that when I add capture activity project as library, firstly it adds properly, then when I say apply/ok & later see again then i see red x mark for this added lib. Even the src folder of added lib is not seen in source tab. I think there is some problem while adding lib but I don't know what & how to figure it out.

Please suggest.

Thank You.

The problem is that you are trying to use android/ as a library, and it is not a library. You are not supposed to copy this code and try to call it in your app. Instead, write your own app. Then integrate the core library (just core/ ) for decoding.

If you're new to all of this, you will probably have a lot of difficulty getting this working versus just integrating by Intent: http://code.google.com/p/zxing/wiki/ScanningViaIntent
