Mobile devices, especially phones, have small keyboards and screens which can make entering page URLs difficult. If the device has a camera, scanning a code to navigate to a page can improve the user experience.
QR, or Quick Response, codes are 2-dimensional barcodes originally used to track automobiles during manufacture. For more information on QR codes see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code.
In this recipe we will create a mobile view page to display details of an opportunity. We will also create a Visualforce page to generate a QR code that links to this mobile view page, which we will then embed into the opportunity view page. When the code is scanned on a mobile device, this navigates a user to the mobile view page to allow them to view the opportunity details.
This recipe relies on the mobile device being able to scan the QR code.
This recipe also uses the jquery.qrcode.js (https://github.com/jeromeetienne/jquery-qrcode) JavaScript...
