Description of the problem:

I m trying to read barcode (HIBC) but its not just not happening. I m using library version 3.3.0 Tested on sony xperia z2 and samsung tabs2. I downloaded latest sample apk and tested but it is also unable to scan HIBC.

Barcode scanner application on play store as u have provided link detects the HIBC.

I have uploaded the image of barcode that i m trying to scan.

Which library version are you using? E.g. 3.2.0.

Which phone/tablet are you using, and which Android version does it run? (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S5, Android 5.0)

Does the same happen on other devices or an emulator?

Can you reproduce the issue in the sample project included with the library? If not, can you provide your own sample project or sample code that produces this error?

In the case of an error do you have a stack trace or adb logs?

I'm unable to scan HIBC barcodes with the Barcode Scanner application on the Play Store. It's also not listed in the supported formats here: https://github.com/zxing/zxing#supported-formats. We're only able to scan barcodes that the underlying zxing library supports.

i think code 39 includes HIBC bar codes.. code 39 is supported by Barcode scanner application on play store..

rkistner commented 7 years ago

If it's Code 39 it should be possible to scan it. The size of the barcode may be an issue in that case - larger 1D barcodes (more stripes) are difficult to scan with a phone's camera, and the scanning can depend a lot on configuration such as the preview resolution, which may be different from the Barcode Scanner application.

Closing this issue for now. If it works in the Barcode Scanner application, we can add support here.
