Features and Improvements

Improved postal barcode recognition quality

The recognition quality of postal barcode symbologies has been improved, including:

AustraliaPost
DutchKIX
Mailmark
OneCode
Planet
Postnet
RM4SCC

public void example1() throws IOException {
    Context context = ApplicationProvider.getApplicationContext();

    BarcodeGenerator gen = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.RM_4_SCC,"ASPOSE");

    File imageFile = new File(context.getFilesDir(), "example1.png");
    String path = imageFile.getAbsolutePath();

    gen.save(path);
    Log.d(TAG, "Image saved to " + path);

    BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(path,
            DecodeType.AUSTRALIA_POST,
            DecodeType.DUTCH_KIX,
            DecodeType.MAILMARK,
            DecodeType.ONE_CODE,
            DecodeType.PLANET,
            DecodeType.POSTNET,
            DecodeType.RM_4_SCC
    );

    BarCodeResult[] results = reader.readBarCodes();

    for (BarCodeResult result : results) {
        Log.d(TAG, result.getCodeText());
    }
}

Improved recognition of short Code39 barcodes

The recognition quality of short Code39 barcodes (including single-character barcodes) has been improved for the following symbologies:

Code39
Code39FullASCII

public void example2() throws IOException {
    Context context = ApplicationProvider.getApplicationContext();

    BarcodeGenerator gen = new BarcodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.CODE_39,"S");

    File imageFile = new File(context.getFilesDir(), "example2.png");
    String path = imageFile.getAbsolutePath();

    gen.save(path);
    Log.d(TAG, "Image saved to " + path);
   
    BarCodeReader reader = new BarCodeReader(path, DecodeType.CODE_39, DecodeType.CODE_39_FULL_ASCII);

    BarCodeResult[] results = reader.readBarCodes();

    for (BarCodeResult result : results) {
        Log.d(TAG, result.getCodeText());
    }
}
