Getting the QR code.

[IDavis]

So if I don't have an Android phone, how can I get the QR code for my app? Anyone know offhand? I go to the web based version of the marketplace and the QR code and it's not there. Is it only available through the phone?

Android.net is the premier Android Forum on the internet.

Are you trying to generate a QRCode? Google 'generate QRCode' for lots of possibilities.

I wrote the Whats For Dinner app (Sidewise publishing). I have a cheap 1.6 tablet I am testing on along with the emulator, but can't seem to find a place to download the qr code. Is it just a generated version of the url?

There's also an application that generates QR codes, I believe it's called listables -

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.

For a quick link you can always use goo.gl link shortening. They produce a QR code as a courtesy.

Heh thanks guys,

Listables actually piggy backs on the zxing library. Zxing (zebra crossing) was created by a Google employee(s) (and others) and is open source (Apache License 2.0 very business friendly imo) They seem to have implementations for just about every programming language you can think of. They are also the devs who make the free "Barcode Scanner" in the Android Market.

here's the source code:

zxing - Multi-format 1D/2D barcode image processing library with clients for Android, Java - Google Project Hosting

They also have a web generator at:

Needless to say I'm a big fan of their work
