To Read QR code scanner I install “cordova-barcodescanner-plugin” plugin from the command prompt. Installation is successful but when tried build it for android it giving me error as below
"The value of the attribute "prefix="xmlns",localpart="android",rawname="xmlns:android"" is invalid. Prefixed namespace bindings may not be empty."

I tried a lot debugging it but could not. After googling found that different version of the plugin will work then I did below steps to overcome plugin issue:
1. First, you need to uninstall it by using the command:
> Cordova plugin rm cordova-barcodescanner-plugin
Try building now. It should work.
2. Now install “cordova-plugin-barcodescanner@0.7.1” using below command:
> cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-barcodescanner@0.7.1
3. Update config.xml file with ‘xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android”‘.
4. update config.xml with below lines:

<config-file mode="merge" parent="/*" target="AndroidManifest.xml">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.autofocus" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />
</config-file>

Now if you try to build the project (cordova run android) it will work.
Above changes help me to over come the issue. Hope it will help someone!!!
