I'd like to use be able to decode QR codes that people submit to my
rails app. I'm using phonegap for iPhone, so I need to create a work-
around for a native QR code reader. The best I can come up with is
having someone take a picture of the code and submit it, then have
ruby parse it.*
I've searched this forum and online, and all I can find is the zxing
library for Java. Question is:
a) is there a rails plugin or a ruby gem that can decode a qr code
image
or b) is it possible to run a java command from ruby?
Thanks for any guidance.

*yes, I will be looking into obj-c eventually, but want to prototype
asap
Eric: Why so incredulous? My point is that I'd rather prototype
something quickly for user testing before I try learn a completely new
language.
To anyone else interested: I found out how to execute java using %x|
java ...| . I think latency would be an issue in the scenario I'm
describing, but I'm going to give it a shot.
Eric, I think I see the confusion. Check Ruby QR code decoder? - Rails - Ruby-Forum,
you'll see that the timestamps are borked (see your reply from 10
months ago). In any event, thanks for the link.
Hi, friends. I happen to come to this thread. I am an barcode expert. I
know good barcode site(http://www.onbarcode.com/) where you can find
various qr code decoders.
