Installing Java classes Barcode

There are several options for installing Java classes: place the compiled files or JAR to the project root or in a folder accessible via the CLASSPATH. To use them, you must import via the command: 

  import com.barcode_coder.java_barcode.*;

It will define the classes of barcodes:

To these are added the following classes:

Using the Java Barcode

To use these classes, a factory was set up with two static methods for creating barcodes.

  public static Barcode createBarcode(BarcodeType barcodeType, String code)
  public static Barcode createBarcode(BarcodeType barcodeType, String code, boolean crc)

barcodeType

BarcodeType

Le type de code-barres souhaité.

Valeurs possibles :

code

String

Barcode value (dependent on the type of barcode).

crc

boolean

Presence correcting code required or not

<< Return >>

Both methods return a Barcode.




Then the class Barcode provides, among other, a function to export barcode into image format desired.

  public boolean export(String res, int width, int height, boolean hri, String file)

res

String

Image type : "png", "jpg" or "gif"

width, height

int

Width and height of a module. For 2D barcodes (Datamatrix), height will be set from width.

hri

boolean

display text (HRI : Human readable Interpretation).

file

String

The location where the image should be saved.

<< Return >>

Returns a boolean indicating if the export is successful or not.




Example 1 :

	Barcode b = BarcodeFactory.createBarcode(BarcodeType.Code128,"12345678");
	b.export("png",1,50,true,"/Users/name/Desktop/image.png");

Example 2 :

	Barcode b = BarcodeFactory.createBarcode(BarcodeType.Datamatrix,"barcode-coder");
	b.export("jpg",10,50,true,"/Users/name/Desktop/image.jpg");
