I am rather new to ZXing and has been exploring their API. I have seen Using ZXing to create an android barcode scanning app and getting scan result when using zxing?
I understand that the details of the scan result is in the string "contents". How do I extract out the details? Looking at the QR generator, http://zxing.appspot.com/generator/ there are many fields like name, company and phone number. How do i extract these details?
I would need something like
//String extractedName = contents.getName()
Sorry, I am very new to this. I would appreciate if someone can provide me detailed steps. Thanks.
TestActivity
public Button.OnClickListener mScan = new Button.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
IntentIntegrator.initiateScan(MenuActivity.this);
}
};
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == 0) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String contents = intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT");
String format = intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT_FORMAT");
// Handle successful scan
//How to get name from contents?
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// Handle cancel
}
}
}
I have successfully extracted it. The scanned results is inside the string 'contents'. Lets say you scanned a code with name and id. The string will contain "name" "id" separated by a whitespace. You can use a for loop to handle it.
