Delivery Checker

Inspiration

My dad is a pharmacist, and he said that for delivery men, especially for patients with multiple drugs. It is easy for people to mix up orders. Especially because each patient has a bar code, not each item.

What it does

It is supposed to use a google API to scan a bar code, save it as a variable, and then scan a second bar-code to compare to the first bar code

How I built it

Built it using Android studio

Challenges I ran into

I ran into issues because I did not know JAVA, I also had no clue what to do to implement the API. The API was also out of date and was running in different versions. I had to restart my app many times. Even now I could not get the app to scan and detect the bar code, even though the API seems to be working.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Learning some of the syntax of Android Studio, and figuring out how to open the camera on my phone using API's

What I learned

You need permission to use the Camera, it is also much more difficult than I thought to implement API's

What's next for Delivery Checker

It would be great if my Dad could put this to use where he works.
