I am doing POC
for QR-code
or barcode scanner
using worklight 6.0 and using cordova plugin. I tried to scan the QR code, it's working fine. I was facing issues when I simply start the scanner but I did not anything scan yet. Just I press back button on android our apps closed, I need to come back to app from hybrid part.
Can anyone suggest me. When I cancel the scanner the app is closed, I need come back to hybrids part.
My Android plugin:

import org.apache.cordova.api.CordovaPlugin;
import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;

this.callbackContext = callbackContext;
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "*************************** EXECUTE ************************************");
if (action.equals(ENCODE)) {
JSONObject obj = args.optJSONObject(0);
if (obj != null) {
String type = obj.optString(TYPE);
String data = obj.optString(DATA);
// If the type is null then force the type to text

return true;

scan();
} else {

obj.put(CANCELLED, false);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "This should never happen");
}
//this.success(new PluginResult(PluginResult.Status.OK, obj), this.callback);
this.callbackContext.success(obj);

Callback for JavaScript:
function onScan(){
cordova.exec(onScanSuccess, onScanFailure, 'BarcodeScanner', 'scan', []);
}
function onScanSuccess(result) {
console.log("onScanSuccess @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ text ==" + result.text );
console.log("onScanSuccess @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ format == " + result.format );
}
function onScanFailure(error) {
console.log("onScanFailure @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ " + result);
}
You need to override the back button, to do the same as your RESULT_CANCLE. You can see an example of how to override the button, here: Override back button to act like home button as well as in many other seraches for "override android back button".
Something like this code snippet:
