I have developed an application for barcode decoding in android using Google vision Library for GS1 data matrix and Zbar Library for GS1 128 barcode Unable to read FNC1 character at the first position of a GS1 128 Barcode using Zbar library.
The Zbar library is unable to display any sign of FNC1 character at the start of the Barcode!
Any Solutions. . . .
Instant Help is appreciable . . .
