A Good Look at QR Codes for Android

By Ellen Maurief


Since the first PDA was developed the process was to make a reliable and simple way of including information on cellular devices. The Newton OS did handwriting reputation that didn't work well enough for many individuals. Palm improved on handwriting recognition by adding character recognition, Microsoft provided both handwriting and character recognition, and the two Palm and Microsoft provided on-screen keyboards that demanded you to utilize a stylus pen to tap into the buttons on the keyboard.

QR codes (QR stands for Quick Response) are image-based links to info. Because there are a number of QR code readers for Android, many Android websites provide QR codes to applications in the Android Market. For instance, here's a QR:

It is possible to create QR codes for any web site simply by entering a URL on this website. The page offers HTML for an inserted image, or maybe you can save the resulting image to your PC after which upload it to a web server. Should you have an application on your Android phone that you would like to share the link with someone else, it is possible to display the QR codes to the Market link on the phone's screen, as well as the other person may then make use of an application such as the Barcode Scanner to scan the code on your own phone plus open the link in Market.

Barcode Scanner contains the opportunity to display QR codes on the screen for just about any application on the device, along with while using phone's camera to scan barcodes. A different application, known as App Referrer also demonstrates QR codes but could also send the Market links via e-mail, SMS, or Twitter.

An additional feature of App Referrer I always like is that it offers an approach to e-mail the links to all or any of the applications attached to a cell phone, and this can be handy whenever migrating to a different Android phone as you can next merely open the e-mail on the new phone and touch the links to install every application.

(Android Market keeps track of the paid out applications you got, so you can merely open Market on a new phone and find out the paid applications in the Downloads part, however it won't track free applications.)
