ilightweight Web Server QR code companion application
About this app
This programm was designed as a QR Code plugin for the [lightweight Web Server (lWS)](https://github.com/mvbasov/lWS). It can also be used by itself as a small and simple QR code generator. Start by entering text in the text area below or paste it from clipboard and press 'Encode' button to see QR code. To see this text again press 'Clear' button. You can share text to this app to it as QR code. ### How to integrate with you application lWS QR can be easily integrated with your application. The following code explain how to do this: ``` String textToEncode = "Some text to encode"; PackageManager pm = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager(); try { pm.getPackageInfo("net.basov.lws.qr.gpm", 0); Intent i = new Intent("net.basov.lws.qr.ENCODE"); i.setData(Uri.parse("createqr:"));//(mondatory) set schema i.putExtra("ENCODE_DATA", textToEncode);//(mandatory) text to encode i.putExtra("ENCODE_LABEL", textToEncode);//(optional, default: same as text to encode) text above QR code i.putExtra("ENCODE_CORRECTION", "L"); //(optional, default: L) Error correction level [L,M,Q,H] i.putExtra("ENCODE_MODULE_SIZE", 6);//(optional, default 6) Small black square zize in pixels i.putExtra("ENCODE_MASK", -1);//(optional, default -1) QR code data mask 0-7 or -1 for autodetect i.putExtra("ENCODE_MIN_VERSION", 1);//(optional, default 1) Force minimal QR code version (size) startActivity(i); } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e_lws_qr) { Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setData(Uri.parse("market://details?id=net.basov.lws.qr.gpm")); startActivity(i); } ``` ### License This software licensed under [MIT license](LICENSE).

Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder
Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be net.basov.lws.qr.fdroid is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
If the current release misbehaves, 04.00.00 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall [lWS.QR] lightweight Web Server QR code first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of [lWS.QR] lightweight Web Server QR code, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
