Binary Eye

Yet another barcode scanner for Android. As if there weren't enough.

This one is free, without any ads and open source.

Works in portrait and landscape orientation, can read inverted codes, comes in Material Design and can also generate barcodes.

Binary Eye uses the ZXing ("Zebra Crossing") barcode scanning library.

Supported Barcode Formats

Read

ZXing can read the following barcode formats:

Generate

ZXing can generate the following barcode formats:

RenderScript

This app uses RenderScript to resize and rotate the camera image. Unfortunately, RenderScript has some nasty gotchas.

RenderScript.forceCompat()

It's necessary to call RenderScript.forceCompat() on some devices/roms.

RenderScript.forceCompat() needs to be run before any other RenderScript function and unfortunately there is no way to know if invoking forceCompat() is necessary or not.

If RenderScript.forceCompat() is necessary, a RSRuntimeException will be thrown and the only option is to restart the app, this time with calling forceCompat() first.

Calling RenderScript.forceCompat() means the processing is done in software so you probably don't want to enable it by default.

macOS Catalina

At the time of writing, calling RenderScript.forceCompat() in a build made on macOS Catalina with build tools 29.0.3 will crash the app. This is a bug in the build tools for Catalina.

So do not build release builts on macOS Catalina with build tools 29.0.3.

Building on Linux with 29.0.3 works fine.

App Bundle

At the time of writing, ./gradlew bundleRelease will produce a broken App Bundle without the necessary RenderScript libraries. This is another bug in the build tools.

Crashes Seconds after startup

I see the camera image for about 1-2 seconds, then the App quits silently to the launcher.

Device: Samsong Galaxy S5 SM G900F Android 9 LineageOS 16-microG (no Google Services) klte

I can provide additional information, but need instructions on how to do that ;)

Alternative download source

Would you mind attaching the .apk to your /releases for folks without Playstore? Or even better, having your app available at F-Droid? It looks pretty privacy-friendly, so us tin-foils would really appreciate it. For F-Droid, the blob in libs/ might be an issue – but there's always my repo if you can provide the .apk :wink:

Crashes after a few quick scans

Hello! I'm using your great little app for attempting something crazy: data exfiltration via QR codes. See qrxfil for the project details, but suffice to say I am aiming to scan dozens of QR codes of ~1KB payload in quick succession.

Issue: App crashes (back to android home) after ~15 to 20 QR code scans (in ~20 seconds)

Expected behaviour: Scan hundreds of QR codes without crash (at a rate of 1 to 2 per second)

Reproduction steps

Initially using BinaryEye version 1.37.0, reproduced on 1.39.0 (F-Droid)

  • Generate a bunch of QR codes of ~1KB data (I used qrxfil on a 500KB file, creating ~500 numbered PNGs to scan)
  • Enable Scan Continously
  • In an image viewer, open the first QR code image
  • When a QR code is recognized (vibration), move to the next one
  • After a few dozen, Android shows homepage without an explanation

Conjectures The crash seems to happen after I scan a few dozen codes, each of which shows a Toast containing the 1KB of decoded text (base64 strings), all overlapping with each other. It is possible the Toast creation logic gets an error when drawing one too many, doesn't handle it, and crashes? If so, disabling the Toast of QR contents would make the issue disappear. Worth investigating?

Note I have not captured any logs pointing to reason for homepage, and haven't done any investigation as to what's wrong, am just reporting the issue naively for now. Expect more digging.

Am happy providing logs if I can, and can share sample QR codes that trigger issues.

Possibility to open the correct application, depending on the content of the code read

Hi,

After scaning a barcode, can you add a button to open the application in connection with the code read.

Examples :

  • if the code contain an URL → the button can open the webbrowser
  • if the code start with mailto: → the button can open the mail client
  • if the code is a vCard BEGIN:VCARD → the button can open the contact app
  • ...

You can see some other one on this page : https://github.com/zxing/zxing/wiki/Barcode-Contents

Thanks !

Add history export feature

This would allow to export the history as CSV file. Currently it works, but the code doesn't look good and only exports the content. I would like to also export the time and the type. Also it allows to export binary data to CSV, does this even make any sense? Suggestions are welcome.

TODO:

  • [x] Escape content if needed
  • [x] Reorganize usage of the db to be accessed by a repo/usecase ?!
  • [x] Add some real res strings, don't use hard-coded stuff...

MATMSG e-mails are processed as text instead of e-mail

BinaryEye correctly handles mailto format as e-mail, but it fails to handle MATMSG format as e-mail.

Example of mailto format from here:

mailto:[email protected]

Example of MATMSG format from here:

MATMSG:TO:[email protected];SUB:QRCode Generator;BODY:you guys are doing a great job!;;

A proposal for a new icon

The current new icon is so ugly and awful... I can hardly think it's bearable. A suggestion: make the black eye solid again, and make a smaller grey barcode inside the eye. It will certainly be more acceptable than the current one.

It is recommended to improve the fault tolerance or anti-jamming ability of identifying QR codes from the gallery.

Feature request: use the in-app browser

Scanning a QR code for me is very transactional, I don't like finding pages from scanned QR codes in my browser tabs some hours/days later.
