I try to use Zxing to decode 128C (Code set C) barcodes. I have success when I read other types like QR_CODE, UPC_A.
These are barcodes that I trying to read:
Is possible read 128C barcodes (Not CODE 128 pure) with Zxing ?
Short aswer, yes, it should is possible. As 128C just is a subset of 128. Can scan the codes, might take a few seconds. And have XZing working in a app.
You have found out that 128 is supported, now you got to make an translation. 128C takes the same input as 128, just turns out numbers. So you could make a translation from the data you get back, and turn it into 128C. Check the second link for how that translates.

Get the needed classes from the XZing github, put them in a package in the java part of your project. I used only 2:
Here is how it is initiated in my code:
/** * Method called to intiate the scan (it's linked to a button) */ public void doScan(View view) { IntentIntegrator scanIntegrator = new IntentIntegrator(this); scanIntegrator.initiateScan(); } // when you click the Scan Bar Code button public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) { IntentResult scanningResult = IntentIntegrator.parseActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent); if (scanningResult != null) { // we have a result String scanContent = scanningResult.getContents(); // set the content of the scan. String scanFormat = scanningResult.getFormatName(); // set the type of scan. // You will want to put this data somewhere else, globals, etc. } else { toast("No scan data received!"); // call to make a toast } }
