Doesn't generate valid QR codes? #46

Closed Timmmm closed 8 years ago

Timmmm commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I'm using version 1.1.4 with the example code to generate "Hello". It makes this QR code:

hello

I tried scanning it with Android's Barcode Scanner app but it doesn't seem to be a valid QR code. I can't see that I'm doing anything wrong...

@Timmmm, this is a valid QR code for "Hello". You might want to try another app. I've just tested the above image successfully on the following Android apps:

Goggles
QR Code Reader

Ah yes it turns out ZXing (used in Google's Barcode Scanner app) doesn't work when you're too close to the code, even though it detects the alignment points correctly. Very strange.
