Scanenr freez android app if hit back button or navigate to another page

When I am in the scanner on Android device and click back button it close scanner and I am not able to use app for few seconds it just freezs. Also it triggers error message: “Error when scanning Scan aborted”.

Here is my code:

public onScan() {
    this.getScanner();
  }

  private getScanner() {
    this.barcodeScanner.scan({
      formats: "QR_CODE, EAN_13",
      cancelLabel: "Zatvori skener",
      showFlipCameraButton: false,
      preferFrontCamera: false,
      showTorchButton: true,
      beepOnScan: true,
      torchOn: false,
      resultDisplayDuration: 500,
      message: "Skenirajte QR kod da bi pristupili meniju",
      closeCallback: () => { console.log("Scanner closed") },
      openSettingsIfPermissionWasPreviouslyDenied: true //ios only 
    }).then((result: any) => {
      const qrDecoded = JSON.parse(result.text);
      this.qrEmitter.emit(qrDecoded);
    }, (errorMessage) => {
      console.log("Error when scanning " + errorMessage);
    }
    )
      .catch((error) => {
        console.log('cathced error', error);
      });
  }

I am using Angular and Nativescript

Edit: I think I found here some solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38664956/in-fragment-how-to-stop-camera-of-zxing-scanner But don’t know how to implement in plugin

Add marking mode none in package.json in src file like this

"android": {
    "v8Flags": "--expose_gc",
    "markingMode": "none"
  },

Thanks! I use that all the time as well, and it seems to be the default in {N} these days, so closing. Not much the plugin can do about it anyway… and since it’s the default now there’s not much sense in documenting it. Still, folks searching for a similar issue on this repo will likely find this issue and your solution. 👍
