1. Import the required classes.

   import java.util.*;
   
   import net.rim.device.api.barcodelib.*;
   import net.rim.device.api.ui.*;
   import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.*;
   
   import com.google.zxing.*;

2. Create a class to run the application by extending UiApplication.

   public final class BarcodeScanDemo extends UiApplication
   { 

3. Create a constructor for the class, and display a BarcodeScanDemoScreen object.

       public BarcodeScanDemo()
       {
           pushScreen(new BarcodeScanDemoScreen());
       }

4. Create the main method that starts the application.

       public static void main(String[] args)
       {
           new BarcodeScanDemo().enterEventDispatcher();
       }
   }

5. Define a screen for your class that extends the MainScreen class.

   final class BarcodeScanDemoScreen extends MainScreen
   {

6. Create a constructor for the screen.

       public BarcodeScanDemoScreen() 
       { 

7. Create a BarcodeDecoderListener object to handle the data that is received when a barcode is scanned. In it, implement barcodeDecoded() to process the raw data that is sent by the decoder.

           BarcodeDecoderListener listener = new BarcodeDecoderListener()
           {
               public void barcodeDecoded( String rawText )
               {
                   // Do something with the raw text
               }
           };

8. Create a Hashtable to store decoding hints in.

           Hashtable hints = new Hashtable();

9. Create a new Vector object to store barcode formats in.

           Vector formats = new Vector();

10. Add the BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE constant to the Vector object using Vector.addElement(Object obj). You can add more than one constant (hint) to a Vector object.

            formats.addElement(BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE);

11. Invoke Hashtable.put(Object key, Object value), and add the Vector object to the hash table. The DecodeHintType.POSSIBLE_FORMATS constant is used to specify that the hints contained in the Vector object are barcode formats. Other constants for decoding hints can be found in the com.google.zxing.DecodeHintType class.

            hints.put(DecodeHintType.POSSIBLE_FORMATS, formats);

12. Construct a BarcodeDecoder object to decode data received from the camera's viewfinder into usable raw data. Pass the Hashtable object into it.

            BarcodeDecoder decoder = new BarcodeDecoder( hints ); 

13. Create a try block, and construct a MainScreen object to contain the camera viewfinder.

            try
            {
                MainScreen screen = new MainScreen();

14. Construct a BarcodeScanner object, and pass the BarcodeDecoder and BarcodeListener objects into it. Invoke BarcodeScanner.getVideoControl() to return a VideoControl object. Invoke VideoControl.setDisplayFullScreen(true) to set the video's display to full screen.

                BarcodeScanner scanner = new BarcodeScanner( decoder,
                                             listener );
                scanner.getVideoControl().setDisplayFullScreen( true );

15. Invoke Screen.add(Field field) to add the barcode scanner's view finder to the screen, then invoke UiApplication.pushScreen(Screen screen) to display the viewfinder.

                screen.add( scanner.getViewFinder() );
                UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen( screen );

16. Start the barcode scanner by invoking BarcodeScanner.startScan(). Close the try block.

                scanner.startScan();
            }

17. Open a catch block to catch any errors that may occur.

            catch (Exception e)
            {
                // Catch errors here
            }
        }
    }

        };

        Hashtable hints = new Hashtable(1);

            screen.add( scanner.getViewfinder() );
            UiApplication.getUiApplication().pushScreen( screen );
            scanner.startScan();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
