com.google.zxing.aztec.AztecDetectorResult issue with phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner plugin

[vvarda]

Guys, #550 issue also reproduces even on 5.0.2 SDK version.

cordova-cli: 8.1.2
cordova-android: 8.0.0
cordova-plugin-facebook4: 5.0.0
FACEBOOK_ANDROID_SDK_VERSION=5.0.2

cordova build android command:

> Task :app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug FAILED
40 actionable tasks: 10 executed, 30 up-to-date
D8: Program type already present: com.google.zxing.aztec.AztecDetectorResult

P.S.: that config works, but already deprecated

cordova-plugin-facebook4: 4.0.0
FACEBOOK_ANDROID_SDK_VERSION=4.25.0

How to solve?

[peterpeterparker]

See #550 (comment) for a proposed solution

And PR are welcomed

@peterpeterparker that package is not compatible with FACEBOOK_ANDROID_SDK_VERSION="5.+". Thx.

would be nice to have optional variables to ignore zxing while adding cordova-plugin-facebook4 plugin

[shaileshsakaria]

Hi @JustasKuizinas - Thank you for your reply.

Can you tell me how to ignore zxing while add plugin? As I can not see any option to ignore it.

I found this plugin https://github.com/AndreiTelteu/cordova-plugin-facebook4-no-zxing but not sure it is reliable to use or not as it is provided by the third party.

[JustasKuizinas]

@shaileshsakaria cordova-plugin-facebook4 doesn't have the option to ignore zxing, but it would be nice if it had

[wilsolutions]

Hi, please, is there any plan to have optional variables to ignore zxing as suggested by
@JustasKuizinas ?

tkx

[JustasKuizinas]

@shaileshsakaria @wilsolutions
If you don't want to use https://github.com/AndreiTelteu/cordova-plugin-facebook4-no-zxing
here is how to make it work it with cordova-plugin-facebook4 until optional variables will be added:

1. Remove android platform.

2. Install cordova-plugin-facebook4

3. Copy this

dependencies {
    compile("com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.37.0") {
        exclude group: 'com.google.zxing'
    }
}

to ../plugins/cordova-plugin-facebook4/build.gradle

4. Edit ../plugins/cordova-plugin-facebook4/plugins.xml
   change
   <framework src="com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:$FACEBOOK_ANDROID_SDK_VERSION"/>
   to
   <framework src="build.gradle" custom="true" type="gradleReference"/>

5. Add platform android and build

[Yawn2323]

there is no build.gradle in facebook plugin tsk

[viking2917]

In case anyone needs the solution from @JustasKuizinas (thank you btw!), I created a fork with those changes in it. You can install it like this:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/viking2917/cordova-plugin-facebook4.git --save --variable APP_ID="xxxxxxx" --variable APP_NAME="xxxxx"

or, if you're using Ionic, then:
ionic cordova plugin add https://github.com/viking2917/cordova-plugin-facebook4.git --save --variable APP_ID="xxxxxxx" --variable APP_NAME="xxxxx"

There is an another solution, if you want to use the latest version.
You can use build-extras.gradle for exclude the zxing lib.
Create a file, paste this:
configurations { compile.exclude group: 'com.google.zxing' }
then add a line to the config.xml, at the android section :
<resource-file src="{{nameOfYourFile}}" target="app/build-extras.gradle" />

You can build your project now.

This did the trick. Works for me

[quyenlt298]

configurations { compile.exclude group: 'com.google.zxing' }

Thanh you. My issue is resolved by using your trick

[noahcooper]

Along with all other Phonegap-maintained plugins, phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner is deprecated.

This will no longer work in newer versions of gradle. I don't know specifics but build started failing once i upgraded cordova-android to 11.0.0. What worked for me was:

configurations.implementation {
    exclude group: 'com.google.zxing'
}
