ZXing Android Generate 1D barcode

Question

I\'ve gone through the examples here regarding encoding barcode:

http://code.google.com/p/zxing/source/browse/trunk/androidtest/src/com/google/zxing/client/androidtest/

Answer 1

To encode/generate 1D barcode

Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.ENCODE");

intent.putExtra("ENCODE_FORMAT", "UPC_A");
intent.putExtra("ENCODE_DATA", "12345678901");

startActivity(intent);

The key here is ENCODE_FORMAT & the 1D barcode format in this case UPC_A & the data (for UPC code it has to be 11/12 digits) to encode

Hope this helps

Answer 2

You need the javadoc for Intents. You need ENCODE_FORMAT, not ENCODE_TYPE.
