Proposal

My suggestion for zxing barcode scanner is the addition of a flash light to the android application so that a user can scan barcodes on product even in a dark environment or environments that has less exposure to light.

This option should be develop and added to the application and it should be an option that can be toggled by a user.

Mockups / Examples

Example from another project.

How it should be added

Benefits

This option when added will grant users the ability to scan products even in dark environments and environments that needs more exposure to light.

When this option is added to the project it will be an additional option to the users and it will help promote the project more and with the help of the flashlight features users won't be worried about their environments even when it has less exposure to light.
