II. Write Data to QR Code

package com.javasampleapproach.kotlin.qrcode

import java.io.IOException
import java.nio.file.FileSystems
import java.nio.file.Path
import com.google.zxing.BarcodeFormat
import com.google.zxing.WriterException
import com.google.zxing.client.j2se.MatrixToImageWriter
import com.google.zxing.common.BitMatrix
import com.google.zxing.qrcode.QRCodeWriter

@Throws(WriterException::class, IOException::class)
fun main(args: Array<String>?) {

	val qrCodeWriter = QRCodeWriter()
	val bitMatrix = qrCodeWriter.encode(
			"JavaSampleApproach\nJava Technology, Spring Framework",
			BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE,
			350, 350) // width x height

	val path = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath("JSA-QRCode.png")
	MatrixToImageWriter.writeToPath(bitMatrix, "PNG", path)
}

package com.javasampleapproach.kotlin.qrcode

import java.io.IOException

import java.nio.file.FileSystems

import java.nio.file.Path

import com.google.zxing.BarcodeFormat

import com.google.zxing.WriterException

import com.google.zxing.client.j2se.MatrixToImageWriter

import com.google.zxing.common.BitMatrix

import com.google.zxing.qrcode.QRCodeWriter

@Throws(WriterException::class, IOException::class)

fun main(args: Array<String>?) {

val qrCodeWriter = QRCodeWriter()

val bitMatrix = qrCodeWriter.encode(

"JavaSampleApproach\nJava Technology, Spring Framework",

BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE,

350, 350) // width x height

val path = FileSystems.getDefault().getPath("JSA-QRCode.png")

MatrixToImageWriter.writeToPath(bitMatrix, "PNG", path)

}

A QR Code is generated:
JSA-QRCode

III. Read Data from QR Code

package com.javasampleapproach.kotlin.qrcode

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage
import java.io.File
import java.io.IOException
import javax.imageio.ImageIO
import com.google.zxing.BinaryBitmap
import com.google.zxing.LuminanceSource
import com.google.zxing.MultiFormatReader
import com.google.zxing.NotFoundException
import com.google.zxing.Result
import com.google.zxing.client.j2se.BufferedImageLuminanceSource
import com.google.zxing.common.HybridBinarizer

@Throws(IOException::class, NotFoundException::class)
fun main(args: Array<String>?) {
	
	val QRfile = File("JSA-QRCode.png")
	val bufferedImg = ImageIO.read(QRfile)
	val source = BufferedImageLuminanceSource(bufferedImg)
	val bitmap = BinaryBitmap(HybridBinarizer(source))
	
	val result = MultiFormatReader().decode(bitmap)
	System.out.println("Barcode Format: " + result.getBarcodeFormat())
	System.out.println("Content: " + result.getText())
}

package com.javasampleapproach.kotlin.qrcode

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage

import java.io.File

import java.io.IOException

import javax.imageio.ImageIO

import com.google.zxing.BinaryBitmap

import com.google.zxing.LuminanceSource

import com.google.zxing.MultiFormatReader

import com.google.zxing.NotFoundException

import com.google.zxing.Result

import com.google.zxing.client.j2se.BufferedImageLuminanceSource

import com.google.zxing.common.HybridBinarizer

@Throws(IOException::class, NotFoundException::class)

fun main(args: Array<String>?) {

val QRfile = File("JSA-QRCode.png")

val bufferedImg = ImageIO.read(QRfile)

val source = BufferedImageLuminanceSource(bufferedImg)

val bitmap = BinaryBitmap(HybridBinarizer(source))

val result = MultiFormatReader().decode(bitmap)

System.out.println("Barcode Format: " + result.getBarcodeFormat())

System.out.println("Content: " + result.getText())

}

Check result in Console:

Barcode Format: QR_CODE
Content: JavaSampleApproach
Java Technology, Spring Framework

Barcode Format: QR_CODE

Content: JavaSampleApproach

Java Technology, Spring Framework
