Integrating the ZXing library directly into my Android application

Question

I\'m writing this in mere desperation :) I\'ve been assigned to make a standalone barcode scanner (as a proof of concept) to an Android 1.6 phone.

For this i\'ve dis

Answer 1

I just wrote a method, which decodes generated bar-codes, Bitmap to String.

It does exactly what is being requested, just without the CaptureActivity...

Therefore, one can skip the android-integration library in the build.gradle :

dependencies {
    // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.zxing
    compile('com.google.zxing:core:3.3.0')
    compile('com.google.zxing:android-core:3.3.0')
}

The method as following (which actually decodes generated bar-codes, within a jUnit test):

import android.graphics.Bitmap;

import com.google.zxing.BinaryBitmap;
import com.google.zxing.LuminanceSource;
import com.google.zxing.MultiFormatReader;
import com.google.zxing.NotFoundException;
import com.google.zxing.RGBLuminanceSource;
import com.google.zxing.common.HybridBinarizer;
import com.google.zxing.Result;

protected String decode(Bitmap bitmap) {

    MultiFormatReader reader = new MultiFormatReader();
    String barcode = null;

    int[] intArray = new int[bitmap.getWidth() * bitmap.getHeight()];
    bitmap.getPixels(intArray, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight());
    LuminanceSource source = new RGBLuminanceSource(bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), intArray);
    BinaryBitmap binary = new BinaryBitmap(new HybridBinarizer(source));

    try {

        Result result = reader.decode(binary);
        // BarcodeFormat format = result.getBarcodeFormat(); 
        // ResultPoint[] points = result.getResultPoints();
        // byte[] bytes = result.getRawBytes(); 
        barcode = result.getText();

    } catch (NotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return barcode;
}
