Save barcode image to stream in Java

Aspose.BarCode Product Family
1

I try to save a barcode made by Aspose.barcode to a stream conform documentation.

Conform the documentation I should use save(outStream, BarCodeImageFormat.Jpeg), but only inputstream is available as parameter.

I get this (compilation) error in code on the save method: The method save(InputStream, int) in the type BarCodeBuilder is not applicable for the arguments

(ByteArrayOutputStream, int)

The constructor ByteArrayOutputStream(ByteArrayOutputStream) is undefined

Now I write the image to disk and read it from disk. But I want to use it as a stream and copy the image of the barcode in a Word document.

my code is:

BarCodeBuilder bcdbuilder =  **new**  BarCodeBuilder();

//set code text

bcdbuilder.setCodeText(bcdWaarde);

//set symbology type

bcdbuilder.setSymbologyType(Symbology. *Code128* );

bcdbuilder.setxDimension(0.5f);

// Border will not be visible

bcdbuilder.setBorderVisible( **false** );

bcdbuilder.save( **new**  ByteArrayOutputStream(dstStream), com.aspose.barcode.BarCodeImageFormat. *Png* );

Hi Ernst,


Thanks for your inquiry. Did you try using the latest version of Aspose.BarCode for Java 5.4.0? Because you can use the following source code below:


e.g
Sample code:

BarCodeBuilder builder =  **new**  BarCodeBuilder();

// set symbology of the barcode

builder.setSymbologyType(com.aspose.barcode.Symbology. *Code128* );

// set code text

builder.setCodeText("123456");

builder.setxDimension(0.5f);

// Border will not be visible

builder.setBorderVisible( **false** );

//initialize ByteArrayOutputStream object

ByteArrayOutputStream outStream =  **new**  ByteArrayOutputStream();

// save barcode image

builder.save(outStream, com.aspose.barcode.BarCodeImageFormat. *Jpeg* );

ByteArrayInputStream srcStream =  **new**  ByteArrayInputStream(outStream.toByteArray());

// load the bar code image stream

BarCodeReader reader =  **new**  BarCodeReader(srcStream);

// recognize the bar code image

**while**  (reader.read())

{

System. *out* .println("Barcode Found: " + reader.getCodeText());

}

reader.close();

You can download the latest build of Aspose.BarCode for Java 5.4.0 from here:
