Code_39 not able to scan

[John S]

Hi

I am not able to scan the barcode with the code_39 format.

Could someone please help me out what exactly I am missing

BitMatrix code39 = new CodeWriter()

code39.encode( "*1234*", BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE, 150, 50);

Encoding of an asterisk is invalid. The asterisk is the start-stop-character which is added automatically by zxing. If you try to encode "*1234*" it will be encoded as "**1234**". Every decoder stops after reading the second asterisk.
In your case you should call the method as follows:

BitMatrix code39 = new CodeWriter()

code39.encode( "1234", BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE, 150, 50);
