Is there any way to launch another App from one APP

So, I need to scan a QR code, and do something with the code.

There are 2 type of solution,

  1. Launch an QR code reader app from current app, scan, and return.

But I don't know it's possible or not.

  1. Porting Zxing

Then hook up Zxing with the camera in WP

So I want to know is solution 1 possible? Where I can find a sample about launch an app from an app

You can run your application from another application.

For example

Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("viber:"));

But it's impossible to pick just so the results from another application.

Better for you to embed the code in your application to read.

There are libraries. For example, ZXing.Net 0.14.0.1

Yes there are many libraries out there in order to use the QR Scanning, where this sample from Wilcox could be helpful. Another option you could go with is to use the ZXing.Net.Mobile client for QR scanning. Sample

Why don't you try launching the Bing Vision from your app in order to do the scanning?

Is it possible to access bing vision programmatically
