Problem in scanning 2d barocode using ZXing on J2ME

[nayal_genext]

I am developing a 2D Barcode scanner application using Zxing 1.7 on J2ME.

When I scan the bar code,it is giving me following error:

Sorry,no barcode was found.

Please provide me the solution.

I also want to know whether isn't it possible to scan the barocode using Zxing on J2me similiar to using Zxing on Andoid where we don't have to capture the image,just place it in viewfinder.

Try to open the camera view finder, take getSnapshot() and try to process it with your library - keep on repeating in a loop - till you do not the barcode decoded.

Please let me know the code for opening camera view finder as zxing library for j2me has not used it whereas while using zxing for android it is there

Please refer to Nokia J2me Code example Wiki - http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu..._using_Java_ME

You can try to decode the snapshots from above using zxing.

But how to use this code so that when I place the mobile camera over barcode it automatically focuses and scans the barcode similiar to zxing bacode scanner on android phones or beetag qr reader for nokia mobiles.
Since when I am running the zxing j2me application I have to take the snapshot and then barcode scanning occurs.
Whereas I require that this application automatically scans the barcode using viewfinder.

Instead of using zxing j2me application, you need to use the Zxing J2me library along with the above code example -you need to create your own 2D Barcode reader, use the example code to capture continuous screenshots and pass them to the decoding library 1 after other till you get the decode.

But how to pass the captured snapshot for decoding as currently the code that is used for decoding is:

byte[] snapshot = takeSnapshot();
Image capturedImage = Image.createImage(snapshot, 0, snapshot.length);
LuminanceSource source = new LCDUIImageLuminanceSource(capturedImage);
BinaryBitmap bitmap = new BinaryBitmap(new GlobalHistogramBinarizer(source));
Reader reader = new MultiFormatReader();
Result result = reader.decode(bitmap);
private byte[] takeSnapshot() throws MediaException {

String bestEncoding = guessBestEncoding();

VideoControl videoControl = zXingMIDlet.getVideoControl();
byte[] snapshot = null;
try {
snapshot = videoControl.getSnapshot("".equals(bestEncoding) ? null : bestEncoding);
} catch (MediaException me) {
}
if (snapshot == null) {
// Fall back on JPEG; seems that some cameras default to PNG even
// when PNG isn't supported!
snapshot = videoControl.getSnapshot("encoding=jpeg");
if (snapshot == null) {
throw new MediaException("Can't obtain a snapshot");
}
}
return snapshot;
}

byte[] snapshot = takeSnapshot(); // takes snapshot

LuminanceSource source = new LCDUIImageLuminanceSource(capturedImage);
BinaryBitmap bitmap = new BinaryBitmap(new GlobalHistogramBinarizer(source));
Reader reader = new MultiFormatReader();
Result result = reader.decode(bitmap); // decode the image/barcode

You need to take images in loop, continuously and send it to the decoder after converting to bitmap till you do not get a good result.

But even after doing this I have to capture the image whereas what I requires is that as I place the mobile over barcode it automatically scans it like it does in zxing barcode scanner for android application or beetag qr reader
