Android Using ZXing Generate QR Code

Question

I was having some problem when trying to generate QR code in Android Programming. Here is the Tutorial I followed. When my generate button on click, I am calling this method

Answer 1

ZXing library can provide easy way.

Origin is : Generate QRCode Android Example

add in dependencies

compile 'com.google.zxing:core:3.2.1'

Here is the method to conver string into QR Image

private Bitmap TextToImageEncode(String Value) throws WriterException {
        BitMatrix bitMatrix;
        try {
            bitMatrix = new MultiFormatWriter().encode(
                    Value,
                    BarcodeFormat.DATA_MATRIX.QR_CODE,
                    QRcodeWidth, QRcodeWidth, null
            );

        } catch (IllegalArgumentException Illegalargumentexception) {

            return null;
        }
        int bitMatrixWidth = bitMatrix.getWidth();

        int bitMatrixHeight = bitMatrix.getHeight();

        int[] pixels = new int[bitMatrixWidth * bitMatrixHeight];

        for (int y = 0; y < bitMatrixHeight; y++) {
            int offset = y * bitMatrixWidth;

            for (int x = 0; x < bitMatrixWidth; x++) {

                pixels[offset + x] = bitMatrix.get(x, y) ?
                        getResources().getColor(R.color.black):getResources().getColor(R.color.white);
            }
        }
        Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitMatrixWidth, bitMatrixHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_4444);

        bitmap.setPixels(pixels, 0, 500, 0, 0, bitMatrixWidth, bitMatrixHeight);
        return bitmap;
    }

Save geneated qr image

 public String saveImage(Bitmap myBitmap) {
        ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        myBitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, bytes);
        File wallpaperDirectory = new File(
                Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + IMAGE_DIRECTORY);
        // have the object build the directory structure, if needed.

        if (!wallpaperDirectory.exists()) {
            Log.d("dirrrrrr", "" + wallpaperDirectory.mkdirs());
            wallpaperDirectory.mkdirs();
        }

        try {
            File f = new File(wallpaperDirectory, Calendar.getInstance()
                    .getTimeInMillis() + ".jpg");
            f.createNewFile();   //give read write permission
            FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(f);
            fo.write(bytes.toByteArray());
            MediaScannerConnection.scanFile(this,
                    new String[]{f.getPath()},
                    new String[]{"image/jpeg"}, null);
            fo.close();
            Log.d("TAG", "File Saved::--->" + f.getAbsolutePath());

            return f.getAbsolutePath();
        } catch (IOException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }
        return "";

    }
