How to generate an Barcode and convert it to Bitmap using new Google Vision API?
Barcode barcode = new Barcode();
Barcode.Email email = new Barcode.Email();
email.address = "my_email@gmail.com";
email.subject = "My Subject;
email.body = "My body content.";
barcode.email = email;
//Implement conversion Bitmap barcodeImage = barcodeToBitmap(barcode);// I do know this part.
You can detect your barcodes using Google Vision API and then use ZXing to generate the barcodes. You could try something like this, it uses zxing library:
public static Bitmap getBitmap(String barcode, int barcodeType, int width, int height)
{
Bitmap barcodeBitmap = null;
BarcodeFormat barcodeFormat = convertToZXingFormat(barcodeType);
try
{
barcodeBitmap = encodeAsBitmap(barcode, barcodeFormat, width, height);
}
catch (WriterException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
return barcodeBitmap;
}
private static BarcodeFormat convertToZXingFormat(int format)
{
switch (format)
{
case 8:
return BarcodeFormat.CODABAR;
case 1:
return BarcodeFormat.CODE_128;
case 2:
return BarcodeFormat.CODE_39;
case 4:
return BarcodeFormat.CODE_93;
case 32:
return BarcodeFormat.EAN_13;
case 64:
return BarcodeFormat.EAN_8;
case 128:
return BarcodeFormat.ITF;
case 512:
return BarcodeFormat.UPC_A;
case 1024:
return BarcodeFormat.UPC_E;
//default 128?
default:
return BarcodeFormat.CODE_128;
}
}
