Reding EAN13 but zxing is returning UPC-A

[waldir dias]

hello, everyone and goog afternoon.
I developed android app using zxing, but when I scan EAN13 that begining with zero the zxing return only twelve digits. How can I get full content? Or another way to solve this question. Image attachment.
Thank you for attention.

  Quote from Wikipedia article on EAN-13:

The most commonly used EAN standard is the thirteen-digit EAN-13, a superset of the original 12-digit Universal Product Code (UPC-A) standard developed in 1970 by George J. Laurer.[1] An EAN-13 number includes a 3-digit GS1 prefix (indicating country of registration or special type of product). A prefix with a first digit of "0" indicates a 12-digit UPC-A code follows. A prefix with first two digits of "45" or "49" indicates a Japanese Article Number (JAN) follows.

  Basically an EAN-13 with a leading zero is indistinguishable from the UPC-A bar-code without the leading zero.
