flutter zxing2 scanner example

Question

Is there any working example for flutter Zxing2 pub package. I did tried the official pub package example [https://pub.dev/packages/zxing2/example | Dart Package] but it doesn’t work. I get the below error

the code which throws error is on line 83.

Has anyone had the same issue? I will really appreciate if someone gives me a good working example to use zxing2.

Note: I only need to use zxing2 not qr or bar code scanner

thanks

Answer 1

I'v fixed this bug by adding call await controller.initialize(); before unawaited(controller.startImageStream((image) { at _onCameraSelected method.

But this example does not contain usage of zxing2...
