Cannot decode utf-8 properlu using as version of library

[Piotr Kubacki]

I am using AS version of library, and have problems with decoding utf-8 (polish to be specific). Does anyone has a solution to this?

When you say "have problems" you really should give any detail at all.

instead of encoded message ąśżźćółń I get ąśżźćęńłó

How did you encode it? how did you decode? display? there are lots of points where this can go wrong, and most are not to do with the library. Start by showing your barcode.

I am using online generator http://www.qr-online.pl/index.php for testing.
Here is How I decode it
var qrCodeReader:QRCodeReader = new QRCodeReader();
var lsource:BufferedImageLuminanceSource=new BufferedImageLuminanceSource(bitmapData);
var bitmap:BinaryBitmap=new BinaryBitmap(new GlobalHistogramBinarizer(lsource));

var ht:HashTable=null;
ht=this.getAllHints();

var result:Result=null;
try {
result=qrCodeReader.decode(bitmap, ht);
}
catch (error:Error)
{
trace("decoding error");
return;
}




private function getAllHints():HashTable
{
var ht:HashTable=new HashTable();
ht.Add(DecodeHintType.POSSIBLE_FORMATS, BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE);
ht.Add(EncodeHintType.CHARACTER_SET, "UTF-8");
return ht;
}

This code correctly encodes "ąśżźćółń", and is correctly decoded by the core library:

It's either a problem with how you are displaying the result, or could simply be a problem with the AS version. It is not maintained and up to date with the Java version.

I have checked the java version of the library and it works. I have problem with AS. Have anyone fixed that problem? I need quick solution.
