Monte,

When my app failed I tried the demo app supplied with this external with the same result.  Let me know if you are successful with that and then if so, I will send you my code.  However, it is the same exact issue / crash with both.

So on Android we will need to continue to rely on ZXing to provide that functionality. I probably could build it into one external with the same API but that would then bloat mergAV (and lots of apps unnecessarily) with the whole ZXing project...
