Dialogs module stop working after calling scan function about nativescript-barcodescanner HOT 6 CLOSED

I am experiencing the same issue.
I've tested my app with NativeScript 1.5 and it works fine, however with 1.7.1 the dialogs stop working after I launch the scanner.

Interestingly this doesn't happen on my Android 4.4 device, I'll test with 5.1 in a sec.

Are you using the demo app, or do I need to run any other code to reproduce this?

Oh, updating tns core modules from 1.6 to 1.7 makes the alert dialog no longer work.

I can confirm that this solved my problem:

var appmodule = require("application");
const context = appmodule.android.currentContext
vm.scan().then(() => {
appmodule.android.currentContext = context;
});

Thanks. I should be able to fix that inside the plugin. The change in behaviour is caused by this dialogs module change. I could do the same in the plugin. Need to check backward compatibility though.

Please update to 1.2.2 and you'll no longer need to work around this issue yourself.

Thanks for reporting this, both!
