How to integrate .NET MAUI Barcode Generator with android native embedding application?

In this article, you’ll learn how to create a .NET MAUI Barcode Generator within a native embedded Android application by following these steps:

Step 1:
Create a .NET Android application and install the Syncfusion.Maui.Barcode NuGet package using nuget.org.

Step 2:
Add <UseMaui>true</UseMaui> to the project file to enable .NET MAUI support.

<PropertyGroup>
   <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
   <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
   <UseMaui>true</UseMaui>
</PropertyGroup>

Step 3:
Create a MauiAppBuilder and initialize .NET MAUI using the UseMauiEmbedding function. Build a MauiApp and create a MauiContext from it.

MauiContext? _mauiContext;

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle? savedInstanceState)
{
   base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
   MauiAppBuilder builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
   builder.UseMauiEmbedding<Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Application>();
   builder.ConfigureSyncfusionCore();
   MauiApp mauiApp = builder.Build();
   _mauiContext = new MauiContext(mauiApp.Services, this);
}

Step 4:

Create a Grid and initialize the Barcode Generator with the QR code symbology, then add it to the Grid.

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle? savedInstanceState)
{
   ...
   Grid grid = new Grid();
   SfBarcodeGenerator barcode = new SfBarcodeGenerator();
   barcode.Value = "https://www.syncfusion.com/";
   barcode.HeightRequest = 200;
   barcode.WidthRequest = 200;
   barcode.Symbology = new QRCode();
   grid.Children.Add(barcode);
   ...
}

Step 5:

Convert the grid with the Barcode Generator to a platform-specific view and set it as the content view for the Android activity.

protected override void OnCreate(Bundle? savedInstanceState)
{
   Android.Views.View view = grid.ToPlatform(_mauiContext);

   // Set our view from the "main" layout resource.
   SetContentView(view);
}
