Generate QRCode from an URL in android device in Kotlin with SDK min 21

Question

In 2022, I want to display a QRCode as bitmap within an app so that another user, on another device could easily retrieve the target URL on her own device using any standard QRCode reader.

I am well aware of https://github.com/zxing/zxing but it has limitations that are no go for me:

• project is in maintenance mode
• it has listed vulnerabilities in its dependency tree
• it requires a too recent minimum SDK (I want to target min API 21)

Is there another option or a standard method to achieve this (generate a Bitmap from a random URL in Kotlin) that I might have missed ?

Thanks in advance for any tip.
