AVNC already has the possibility to import a configuration file. In order to ease the setup of multiple Android terminals, we would like to scan a QR code, that could either give a URL where to fetch that config file, or the config file itself.
Essentially I want to add a "scan" button next to the "import" button. This would open the camera, scan the QR code, resolve it to a config file and send it to the code that already process an imported file.
I have some time available to work on this. Would a PR be welcome?
Also, we should probably discuss about the data schema for the QR code. What I have in mind is something like: AVNC:Type[:Option]*;Payload. E.g.:
AVNC:U;https:/example.org/config/file for a URL that resolve to a config file,AVNC:F;raw config file for a config file embedded into the QR code.
Design intents:
- The
AVNC prefix is a magic code to check the QR code is intended for AVNC.
- Using a colon as an option separator and a semi-colon before the data allows adding options in future releases, with earlier releases ignoring them and still finding the right payload.
