Using zxing in Google Glass

I am trying to use zxing on google stack, but I am getting error above.

I am using zxing 2.2 core.jar I also get this error message on the device display "Sorry, the Android camera has a problem. You may have to restart the device."

I am glad of the intention of my active work

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN"); intent.putExtra("SCAN_MODE", "QR_CODE_MODE"); startActivityForResult(intent, 0); }

Eclipse Error Message

There is a lot of information on how to use it, but there are other questions like this.

Google Glass preview image scrambled with new version of XE10

which make me think you can use zxing on glass.

I do not include

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>

at the top of my manifest.

This blocks my camera to open.

If someone is trying to integrate zxing, I suggest using this tutorial.
