(Android) Registering plugin in MainActivity

From Capacitor 3 on, it is not necessary anymore to register the plugin manually in MainActivity. So you can remove the following lines from your MainActivity.java:

import com.dutchconcepts.capacitor.barcodescanner.BarcodeScanner;

add(BarcodeScanner.class);

Plugin import

Additionally you can, but are not required to, change how you import this plugin.

Old way:

import { Plugins } from '@capacitor/core';
const { BarcodeScanner } = Plugins;

New way:

import { BarcodeScanner } from '@capacitor-community/barcode-scanner';
