Quick Setup

After following the install instructions you are ready to launch the SDK. The quick setup will go over how to launch the SDK via an Activity to capture a document image. Alternatively, you can launch it using a Composable function (see composition).

Launching via Activity

1. Register an ActivityResultLauncher that will handle the result from an activity.

   private val documentCameraLauncher = registerForActivityResult(
       ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()
   ) { result ->
       when (result.resultCode) {
           RESULT_OK -> {
               DocumentCameraActivity.latestResult?.let { documentCameraResult ->
                   when (documentCameraResult) {
                       is DocumentProcessingState.Failure -> {
                           // Handle failure
                       }
   
                       is DocumentProcessingState.Success -> {
                           // Handle success
                       }
                   }
               }
               
               DocumentCameraActivity.latestMetadata?.let { documentCameraMetadata ->
                   // Optionally analyze metadata about the capture process
               }
           }
   
           RESULT_CANCELED -> {
               // Cancelled (e.g. by navigating back)
           }
   
           else -> {
               // Unexpected result code
           }
       }
   }

   💡 Note: DocumentCameraActivity.latestResult is stored in memory and can only be read once. Make sure to handle the result immediately to avoid losing it.

2. Start the activity using the ActivityResultLauncher you created in the previous step.

   val intent = DocumentCameraActivity.getIntent(this, DocumentScannerConfig())
   documentCameraLauncher.launch(intent)
