Intent clash with PhoneGap apps about barcodescanner

[nusculus]

While adding the ability to restrict the allowed barcode formats (cuts down on read errors), aside from passing that option thru to zxing, I made these changes in my copy:

Within BarcodeScanner.java
import android.content.ComponentName; // added
private static final String SCAN_INTENT = "com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN"; // changed
private static final String SCAN_CLASS = "com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity"; // added
private static final String ENCODE_INTENT = "com.google.zxing.client.android.ENCODE"; // changed
...
Intent intentScan = new Intent(SCAN_INTENT); // same
intentScan.setComponent(new ComponentName(this.cordova.getActivity().getApplicationContext(),SCAN_CLASS));
intentScan.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT); // same

in plugin.xml:
action android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN"
and
action android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.ENCODE"

and I restored the action checking code that Eccenux commented out in EncodeActivity.java

The zxing library is looking for the actions "com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN" and "com.google.zxing.client.android.ENCODE" rather than "com.phonegap.plugins.barcodescanner.SCAN" and "ENCODE". Giving the specific component in the Intent prevents going to other apps that use the same library.

I'm new to plugins and Android. Expect that this can be done better or just plain done right. Please speak up if you see problems with this approach. After some field testing, I'll try to share the restricted format code too.
