iOS Question Save iBarcode preview as a bitmap?

[JackKirk]

Is it possible to save the iBarcode preview as a bitmap?

I have tried code of the form:

Private temp_imageview As ImageView
Private temp_rect As Rect
Private temp_bmp As Bitmap
Private temp_canvas As Canvas

temp_imageview.Initialize("")

Page1.RootPanel.AddView(temp_imageview, 0, 0, Page1.RootPanel.Width, Page1.RootPanel.Height)
temp_imageview.Visible = False

temp_canvas.Initialize(temp_imageview)

temp_rect.Initialize(0, 0, Page1.RootPanel.Width, Page1.RootPanel.Height)

temp_canvas.DrawView(scanner_panel, temp_rect)

temp_canvas.Refresh

temp_bmp = BC_Canvas.CreateBitmap

Dim temp_phone As Phone
temp_phone.AddImageToAlbum(temp_bmp)

where scanner_panel is the panel I have initialized the barcode scanner instance to.

I get a photo which shows all the other views I have dumped into the scanner_panel but no barcode preview.

Thanks in anticipation...

I don't think that it is possible. As you saw, Canvas.DrawView will not draw the preview layer.

 

[JackKirk]

No NativeObject/Objective C sorcery to do it?

It doesn't have to be a bitmap.

 

[Erel]

It will be very difficult as the preview is handled internally by the library. If you like I can post the source code of this library.

 

[JackKirk]

Erel,

OK, I'm up for a challenge - I have been contemplating getting into NativeObject more deeply - are there any resources to help work out how to proceed?

Regards...

 

[Erel]

You will not be able to do it with NativeObject. You will need to create a modified library for this.

 

[JackKirk]

Well I'm still up for it - LLCamera in the iMedia library does a similar thing - any chance of getting a look at that too?

 

[Erel]

The library source code is attached. Sorry but cannot upload iMedia library code.

 

[JackKirk]

What are the legalities, etiquettes, issues etc with getting something like this done by Freelancer or similar?

 

[JanPRO]

Hi,

attached you can find the modified library source and the compiled library.
I have added the CaptureStillImage method and the CapturingStillImage property, usage:

Scanner.CaptureStillImage

Sub _StillImage (Image As Bitmap, Error As Exception) 'also a new event
   If Not(Error) Then
     ImageView1.Bitmap = Image
   Else
     Log(Error.Description)
   End If
End Sub

Jan

Edit: I just see

It doesn't have to be a bitmap.

You can also simply create a snapshot of the preview panel, but the snapshot will be treated as a view and not as a bitmap:

Sub Snapshot(Target As View) As View
    Dim NaObj As NativeObject = Target
    Dim SnapshotView As View =  NaObj.RunMethod("snapshotViewAfterScreenUpdates:",Array(True))
    Return SnapshotView
End Sub

 

[JackKirk]

JanPRO,

Thanks so much for your response to my request.

I apologise for my belated response but I have been distracted on the other side of the fence doing these:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/programmatically-set-screen-settings.64746/
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ng-app-with-full-correct-torch-control.64931/

I will get onto this now that these are completed.

The reason for wanting a preview capture capability is to do something similar to the second of the posts above - namely create a real-time brightness stream for more dynamic control of the torch.

Thanks again...

JanPRO,

I'm probably doing something stupid but I'm getting the following errors when I try to compile with your iBarcode2 library:

I can see your CaptureStillImage/CapturingStillImage additions in my project so I'm assuming I have installed iBarcode2 libraries correctly in my additional library folder.

I am using the hosted builder - does this represent an additional challenge?

Thanks again...

 

[JanPRO]

I am using the hosted builder

That's the problem.
You have to ask Erel if he can upload the library to the hosted builder.

Jan

 

[JackKirk]

Erel,

Can you upload JanPRO's iBarcode2 library to the hosted builder?

Thanks...

 

[Erel]

I've uploaded it to the hosted builder.

 

[JackKirk]

Many thanks...

 

[JackKirk]

Jan,

I'm a bit bamboozled.

I have inserted the xxx.CaptureStillImage in a timer and am hearing a simulated camera shutter noise (which is encouraging).

But I can't work out the precise name of the event sub that receives the bitmap.

You have it as:

_StillImage

I have tried:

_StillImage (B4I IDE objects with Sub _stillimage is not a valid identifier)
StillImage (nothing received)
xxx_StillImage (where xxx is name of BarcodeScanner instance - nothing received)
StillImageOutput (from looking through libiBarcode2.a - nothing received)

I'm out of ideas...

 

[JanPRO]

Hi,

it must be EventName_StillImage:

Scanner.Initialize("Scan",Panel1)

Sub Scan_StillImage (Image As Bitmap, Error As Exception)
If Not(Error) Then
     ImageView1.Bitmap = Image
Else
     Log(Error.Description)
End If
End Sub

Don't use CaptureStillImage in a Timer, instead call it in the StillImage event again.

Jan

 

[JackKirk]

Jan,

Of course (dopey dopey dopey) - I scare myself sometimes as to how tunnel-visioned I get...

In the timer I am coding:

If Not(BC_Scanner.CapturingStillImage) Then
     
    BC_Scanner.CaptureStillImage
 
End If

The timer is on 2000 msecs.

Is this OK? - seems to work so far.

Thanks again...

 

[JanPRO]

I don't recommend it, with a duration of 2000 msecs it may be okay, but when the duration is smaller it could be a problem.

Jan
