brolin_empeyMaxdamantus: I do not know if it matters but this photograph you shared looks grainy to me.  I copied the image into the GIMP so I could rotate the image so I could more easily read the text in the image.  Also, why not just run the Android application on Maemo instead of recreating the Android application for Maemo?07:20
Maxdamantusbrolin_empey: the principle behind the application itself is simple enough for me to just create a minimal implementation that I can use.07:22
MaxdamantusI haven't looked into running Android applications on Maemo, but I imagine there would be issues with using the camera, let alone scanning QR codes.07:22
MaxdamantusI imagine the QR code scanning is provided by Android itself rather than being part of the application, so presumably anbox or whatever would be responsible for providing QR code scanning, in which case I suspect it would use the same library (zbar)07:24
MaxdamantusThe Android/iOS application is written in React Native and it uses `RNCamera` for QR code scanning.07:25
brolin_empeyThat said, maybe running current Android applications on Maemo is more easily said than done.  I never actually tried to do so because the N900 does not work for my use case.07:25
Maxdamantushttps://github.com/react-native-camera/react-native-camera/blob/master/android/src/general/java/org/reactnative/barcodedetector/RNBarcodeDetector.java07:26
MaxdamantusCalls into some `com.google.android.gms.vision.barcode.*` classes, so indeed sounds like part of Android itself.07:27
brolin_empeyActually part of Google Mobile Services apparently, which is closed-source according to the Wikipedia article on Android and only part of Android distributions using the Google ecosystem.07:29
brolin_empeyWell, is proprietary software according to said article, which I assume means in this context that it is closed-source.07:30
MaxdamantusRight, I expected as much, since otherwise there would already be decent free barcode scanning libraries.07:30
