This would require camera permission which most users probably consider dangerous...

Users who conisder it dangerous will always have the option to not allow camera permission through the app settings so I don't think it will be much an issue though.

Most of file sharing apps with QR feature(Zapya, Xender, Shareit...) have a built-in QR scanner

For the UI, I was thinking of a button next to Snapdrop icon
Ty for considering this,

Redirect to android s builtin Qr reader (if possible)
I agree. This should be added, it's just good ux, if you re so concerned about privacy than redirect to android s builtin qr code reader. I ve seen a few app do this on my Samsung

i would recommend Binary Eye, it works exceptionally well and can be called by intent, this would solve the issue and we dont need an qr implementation.
i'm strongly in favor of adding the possibility to pair via qr code - super useful pairdrop feature!
