Is this possible?

for example launching qr code reader from Zxing:

<a href="intent://scan/#Intent;scheme=zxing;package=com.google.zxing.client.android;end"> Take a QR code </a>

Hi Jean-Yves,

To my knowledge, opening an application with that URL pattern would likely not work; you should use the pattern of of the app's URI (i.e., zxing:// ... ).

That being said, is there an issue with teh built-in bar code scanning that is causing you to favor zxing ?

Hi James, 

no problem with the built-in bar scanning per se simply a code example...

The idea would be to connect to a scanner type app (i.e. camscanner), take a picture of all the pages of the document, make a pdf document, then somehow send it back as an attachment for survey123, or attach it manually.

At the moment we've been using image on a repeat.

I'm open to suggestions...

Thanks,
