that sounds like a problem of your camera 🤔

How the app decides which camera to use? It has three

[adbenitez]

the back camera is used, and if you meant there are 3 in the back that is up to the system, maybe try cleaning them 😅

[duub]

hehehe first thing I've tried (to clean it). Yes there are three in the back. It's weird... It is the only situation where I get blurry images.

could you try with this QR scanning app: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.example.barcodescanner/

thanks in advance

[duub]

This app works flawless

[adbenitez]

ok so probably it is a problem with the QR library we use, sadly IIRC we can't upgrade it without having to drop support for android 5

[duub]

I'm curious... how important is to keep support for this old version of Android?

[adbenitez]

more than for your particular device 😁 sorry

but eventually it will get dropped when there are less remain android 5 users

@duub could you test this apk and tell me if it solves the blur problem for you?

📦 app-preview.apk

The image is still blurry
