Re: Mac app for QR code decoding using Zxing

[Sean Owen]

Yes, the easiest thing to do is write a Java app. Then it works anywhere. Second-easiest is to try to reuse the iPhone code. You would have to write the app framework; the scanning is done for you.

Thanks Sean for writing back.I infact tried using iPhone code but unsuccessful.

Did you ever try implementing  ?

Are you just trying to generate codes, not read them?

[Najmul Islam]

Yes only generation as of now.

There are some hardwares which can read the bar code and can throw the value at the cursor.

I want to implement this using an external USB camera.I heard that reading via iSight camera is quite easy, not sure how will it behave with external cam.

Thanks,

zxing does not include encoders for any 1D codes: only qr and pdf417 and the core C++ code (which the objective c code is based on) does not include either of these.

A port of the qr encoder was recently mentioned: see https://groups.google.com/d/topic/zxing/9YE0Yf7SaZ8/discussion and https://groups.google.com/d/msg/zxing/ItnS-rLPAfk/vy7ZaVtSwpMJ.
