Ionic cordova camera is not available












1















I want to use QrScanner in my application. So I installed



ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-qrscanner
npm install --save @ionic-native/qr-scanner@beta


plugins, then I do ionic cordova run browser, then I access the produced url in my mobile. When ever I try to open the qr scanner it always shows camera is not available. Even though my mobile has camera, I tested in both android and in ios, but the results are same. Here is my code



this.qrScanner.prepare()
.then((status: QRScannerStatus) => {
if (status.authorized) {
// camera permission was granted
// start scanning
const scanSub = this.qrScanner.scan().subscribe((text: string) => {
console.log('Scanned something', text);
this.sharedAlertService.presentBasicAlert('Authorized', '', JSON.stringify(text));

this.qrScanner.hide(); // hide camera preview
scanSub.unsubscribe(); // stop scanning
});

} else if (status.denied) {
this.sharedAlertService.presentBasicAlert('Denied', '', 'No permission');
// camera permission was permanently denied
// you must use QRScanner.openSettings() method to guide the user to the settings page
// then they can grant the permission from there
} else {
// permission was denied, but not permanently. You can ask for permission again at a later time.
}
})
.catch((e: any) => this.sharedAlertService.presentBasicAlert('Error', '', JSON.stringify(e)));


What is the solution to access qr scanner in the browsers? Thank you.
