Exact same error here. Does anyone have a solution?

@justinhenricks builds fine for me from the CLI and AndroidStudio. For some reason in your setup the .aar for ZXing is not being imported into the project which is why you get the above errors. When you open the project in AndroidStudio do you do File->New-Import Project and select the $Project_name/platforms/android directory?

I managed to fix it. For me this was the issue:
I had the "Cordova QR Scanner" plugin installed as well (https://github.com/bitpay/cordova-plugin-qrscanner), along with this plugin.

Apparently, both plugins don't work side by side. Removing the "cordova-plugin-qrscanner" plugin did the trick for me. I can now build it for Android without errors.

I hope this helps.

This actually ended up being our exact situation as well. QR Scanner and Barcode Scanner cannot be installed at the same time! Good to know, consider this closed. Thanks!
