  There's no demo for the source code. Only the video demo https://youtu.be/9QgUV1mXLe4

  Thanks for the fast response! I'm intrigued by the fact that this uses Firebase ML. Could you please explain to me how this is implemented in the app (what function it fulfills) and if I would need to set up anything in Firebase in order for it to work? What information is getting passed to/handled by Firebase here?
  
  Sorry if this is not the place to talk, feel free to reply to [email protected] if you prefer.
  Thanks for your time.

  Hi @smhily,
  Thanks for showing interest in the QR & Bar code reader Android application
  
  It's okay to discuss the application key capabilities here, maybe it helps someone
  
  Firebase ML Kit is an SDK "Software development kit" that developed by Google and it can be implemented in Android or iOS projects
  There are lots of features ML Kit could grant us, like Text recognition, Face recognition, Translation, and Barcode scanning, in our case we are using the Barcode scanning which is run On-Device this means we don't need any network connection in the Android device for the ML Kit to process the QR or Barcode information. It also can scan the codes with any orientation e.g: right up. left up.
  Another feature that it extracts structured data like Driving license, SMS, WiFi, Phone numbers and emails.
  The supported formats as follows:
  Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, EAN-13, EAN-8,
  ITF, UPC-A, UPC-E, QR Code, PDF417, Aztec and Data Matrix
  
  In order to process an image that contains code, a FirebaseVisionImage object is created and it receives an image as an input, it process the code and extract a structured data based on the output. If you're not familiar with coding, don't bother, all things are up and running if you installed the project.
  
  As you can see there is no data or anything is passed to the Firebase on the cloud here, yet you have to make a new project on the Firebase console which is an easy process and not complicated and put the google-services.json file in the app directory which is a file specific to your project and contains some keys in order to the application to work.
  
  I hope this helps and feel free to ask me anything about the project.
