How can i embed the the barcode scanner into my application such that when i start the application, the barcode scanner screen is actually a part of another activity.. the barcode scanner screen itself should be one of the screens.. on top i should be able to have a textview controlled from my custom activity and at the bottom the barcode scanner which is from the zxing library... One way i know is using fragments.. but then i want to support all platforms starting 2.2 and that wont be possible in this case.. Please help anyone, if anyone has the answers...

To do that, your Activity needs to extend ActivityGroup. I think my response in this question contains the details:

Tabs using Fragments on Android, but inside another Layout

A big problem with this is that Google is planning to deprecate the ActivityGroup class. I understand why they have created Fragments, and they are important. But I still think ActivityGroup is needed for cases like yours.
