Generate QR Code for any object in 5 Min

Do you know about QR Code....???

                                                      Quick Response Codes are a type of two-dimensional bar code that can be read using smartphones and dedicated QR reading devices, that link directly to text, emails, websites, phone numbers and more! You may have even got to this site by scanning a QR code!

How To Implement In Salesforce.....???

                 So pick any object for this. I have picked Contact object.

1. Click on Setup. It is placed on Top-Right.
2. Then in Left panel, go to Customize –> Contacts –> Fields
3. Click on New button to create the new custom field.
4. Select Formula field type here.
5. Fill field name with “QR Code” and Select Formula Return Type as “Text”
6. Then paste the following code in formula area:

IMAGE(‘https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=200×200&cht=qr&chl=https://mas-dev-ed.my.salesforce.com/‘&Id ,‘Scan QR code to open record in mobile.‘)

Explanation of above code:
1. IMAGE(image_url, alternate_text [, height, width]) : Is a function to show image with giving URL.
2. https://chart.googleapis.com/chartchs=200×200&cht=qr&chl=https://cs87.salesforce.com/’& Id
2.1 https://chart.googleapis.com/chart : Is Google Chart API
2.2 chs: Height and width of QR Code
2.3 cht: Chart Type. We need to put qr for QR code
2.4 chl: QR Code will generate this text. (In our example I am putting URL of record)

Note: Please put your domain Url instead of https://mas-dev-ed.my.salesforce.com

Now Save your formula field and open any record. You can see a QR Code on record.

Now you can use any QR Code scanner app on mobile.
I am using Google Goggles. You can download from here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.unveil&hl=en

Now Open this app and scan your code. It will look like this:

Click on generated link on the bottom of the screen. It will redirect to record.
