    HandleClick hc = new HandleClick();
    findViewById(R.id.butQR).setOnClickListener(hc);
    findViewById(R.id.butProd).setOnClickListener(hc);
    findViewById(R.id.butOther).setOnClickListener(hc);
  }
  private class HandleClick implements OnClickListener{
    public void onClick(View arg0) {
      Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN");
      switch(arg0.getId()){
        case R.id.butQR:
          intent.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "QR_CODE_MODE");
        break;
        case R.id.butProd:
          intent.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "PRODUCT_MODE");
        break;
        case R.id.butOther:
          intent.putExtra("SCAN_FORMATS", "CODE_39,CODE_93,CODE_128,DATA_MATRIX,ITF,CODABAR");
        break;
      }
      startActivityForResult(intent, 0);    //Barcode Scanner to scan for us
    }
  }
  public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
    if (requestCode == 0) {
      TextView tvStatus=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvStatus);
      TextView tvResult=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvResult);
      if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        tvStatus.setText(intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT_FORMAT"));
        tvResult.setText(intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT"));
      } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
        tvStatus.setText("Press a button to start a scan.");
        tvResult.setText("Scan cancelled.");
      }
    }
  }
}

my console shows following error:

Answer 1

Just install an app that can handle that intent (Zxing).

Also, catch that exception and prompt the user to install said application.

Answer 2

At first glance, it looks like you haven't installed the ZXing Barcode Scanner app on your phone.

You can direct the user to the app in the market using a market link, like this: Install Application programmatically on Android

Answer 3

Best solution by far is to use the IntentIntegrator provided by the project. It not only handles installing the app but other small gotchas.
