Phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner: Screen upside down on tablet device

[NgYueHong]

I am using this plugin to add qr-code scanning function to my hybrid app build with Ionic framework. The plugin works well, except on tablet when the app is display in portrait, the screen is displayed upside down. This only happen on tablet, and no issue on phone. I have tried with several devices, but it all happen upside down on tablet device.

Hope there is a fix for this soon.

+1, I get the same thing on an android handset. Android 6.1.

My issue seems to be described (and fixed) here: https://github.com/zxing/zxing/issues/484

I'm guessing that the release of zxing that fixes this issue for nexus 5x is newer than the release used in the cordova plugin.

+1, is there a chance to update zxing lib soon?

mike-eason pointed out on my ticket that I opened that this is the same thing. So I am adding my vote to have the upside down camera bug fixed.

I have the same issue on SM-T520 tablet with Android 4.4.2.

Same issue of upside down camera when barcode scanning on my Nexus 5x w/ Android 6.0.1.

[okonon]

We decided not to support this Nexus 5x in production :(

@okonon But why? Is Nexus 5x is different than other devices with Android 6._._. version??

[mikejones3]

The camera was built upside-down in the 5x.

Is there a way to put a simple button on the screen when in scan mode that allows the user to toggle between right-side-up and up-side-down presentation of the camera? This should have minimal impact on the existing code and support future hardware with the same reverse camera issue.

[edicius6]

Also, not sure if this helps or not, but it seems to just be an issue of using an outdated Google Camera API:

[mikejones3]

Exactly, there are apis to flip the camera. But I haven't found any plugins
that use or incorporate them yet

This issue shouls be fixed when you pull from the master branch of this repo as we've just merged the Telerik fork with this one.

[sarangan12]

This should be fixed with the latest merge from Telerik commit. I am closing this issue. If you still see the issue, feel free to reopen. Thanks

Works fine on Nexus 5X, Android 6.0.1. :-)
