How do I scan QR codes on Android?

Update:

I'm trying to scan a QR code on my Andriod phone using an app that is telling me to scan a code. This is my first time doing it. Could anyone please tell me how? Thanks!

    Install a scanner app such as i-nigma

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com....

    That app will automatically open the camera and show a square frame; just point the camera at the QR code and position the phone so the code approximately fills the frame and it should read it.

    Other apps may need you to hit a camera or scan button, to bring up the camera preview so you can align the code on screen.
