I want to read the data from the QR Scanner. That is working like our PC keyboard.

If we click somewhere and type, then the typed characters will be captured. in the same way, my QR scanner also working. if I click in the notepad and scan, it will write the QR data in my notepad. I m trying to find a solution, but I couldn't able to find it.

Please share your suggestions here.

This has been covered quite a few times. My suggestion would be search this forum for "barcode".
