Google's new scanner allows Android phones to read QR codes from a distance

India TV News  

Google is working on a new feature that will revolutionise QR code scanning on Android smartphones. According to the company, the Google code scanner API will provide a comprehensive solution for scanning codes without requiring the app to request camera permissions. With the release of version 16.1.0, users can enable auto-zoom, allowing the Google code scanner to effortlessly scan barcodes even when they are far away from the camera. Google's implementation of the feature delegates the task of scanning QR codes to Google Play services, which then returns the scan results to the respective app. Once developers integrate the code scanner API into their apps, users will no longer need to grant camera permissions for QR code scanning.
