React Native module to auto scan documents (Android only)

Live document detection library. Returns either a URI of the captured image, allowing you to easily store it or use it as you wish !

Features:

Get started

npm install --save react-native-documentscanner-android

In MainApplication.java, add this Line import com.documentscanner.DocumentScannerPackage; at the top of file,

@Override
protected  List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
  return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
    new  MainReactPackage(),
    new  DocumentScannerPackage() <--- this  line,
    ...
  );
}

IMPORTANT - Go to folder app/settings.gradle and add

include ':react-native-documentscanner-android'
project(':react-native-documentscanner-android').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-documentscanner-android/android')

Add this (don't forget)

include ':openCVLibrary310'
project(':openCVLibrary310').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir,'../node_modules/react-native-documentscanner-android/android/openCVLibrary310')

In android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Change manifest header to avoid "Manifest merger error". After you add xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" should look like this:

 <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.<yourAppName>" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

Add tools:replace="android:allowBackup" in <application tag. It should look like this:

 <application tools:replace="android:allowBackup" android:name=".MainApplication" android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" android:allowBackup="false" android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

Add Camera permissions request:

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

Add this to android/app/build.gradle (dependencies section)

implementation project(':react-native-documentscanner-android')
