 android:id="@+id/img_result"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:layout_centerInParent="true"
 android:visibility="gone" />
 
</RelativeLayout>

Step 3 : Open src -> package -> MainActivity.java and add following code :

package balaji.qrcode_generate;
 
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.ActivityNotFoundException;
import android.content.DialogInterface;

import android.widget.Toast;
 
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 
 private static final int ACTIVITY_RESULT_QR_DRDROID = 0;
 
 Button generate;
 EditText edit;
 
 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  
  generate = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
  edit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
  
  generate.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
   
   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    
    String code = edit.getText().toString();
    
    if(code.trim().length() == 0) {
     
     Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), 
      "Enter Text", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
     return;
    }
    
    Intent encode = new Intent("la.droid.qr.encode"); 
    encode.putExtra("la.droid.qr.code", code);   
    encode.putExtra("la.droid.qr.image", true);
    encode.putExtra("la.droid.qr.size", 0);
        
    try {
     
     startActivityForResult(encode, ACTIVITY_RESULT_QR_DRDROID);
    }
    catch (ActivityNotFoundException activity) {
     
     qrDroidRequired(MainActivity.this);
    }
   }
  });
 }
 
 @Override
 protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
  
  if(ACTIVITY_RESULT_QR_DRDROID == requestCode 
    && data != null && data.getExtras() != null ) {
   
   ImageView imgResult = ( ImageView ) findViewById(R.id.img_result);
       
   String qrCode = data.getExtras().getString("la.droid.qr.result");
    
   if(qrCode == null || qrCode.trim().length() == 0) {
     
    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "QR Code Image " +
     "is not Saved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    return;
   }
    
   Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "QR Code Image is Saved" 
    + " " + qrCode, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    
   imgResult.setImageURI( Uri.parse(qrCode) );
    
   imgResult.setVisibility( View.VISIBLE );   
  }
 } 
 
 /* 
  * 
  * If we don't have QRDroid Application in our Device, 
  * It will call below method (qrDroidRequired)
  * 
  */
 
 protected static void qrDroidRequired(final MainActivity activity) {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  
  AlertDialog.Builder AlertBox = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
  
  AlertBox.setMessage("QRDroid Missing");
  
  AlertBox.setPositiveButton("Direct Download", new OnClickListener() {
   
   @Override
   public void onClick(DialogInterface arg0, int arg1) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    
    activity.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
     Uri.parse("http://droid.la/apk/qr/")));
   }
  });
  
  AlertBox.setNeutralButton("From Market", new OnClickListener() {
   
   @Override
   public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    
    activity.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
     Uri.parse("http://market.android.com/details?id=la.droid.qr")));

    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    
    dialog.cancel();
   }
  });
  
  AlertBox.create().show();
 }
 
 @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
     super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
     //Nothing
    }
}

Step 4 : Open AndroidManifest.xml and add following code :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="balaji.qrcode_generate"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
 
    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="3"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
 
    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>
 
</manifest>

Step 5 : Open res ->values ->strings.xml and add following code :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
 
    <string name="app_name">QRCode_Generate</string>
    <string name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
    <string name="menu_settings">Settings</string>
