Generate QRcode and barcodes using Java
For maven project add this dependency in your POM file. Make sure version should not be less than 2.2 otherwise error will occurs in code.

int size = 100;
String fileType = "png";//File extension name
File qrFile = new File(filePath);
generateQRCode(qrFile, qrCodeText, size, fileType);//pass the all parameters.
System.out.println("QRcode Generated!!");
}
public static void generateQRCode(File qrFile, String qrCodeText, int size, String fileType)
throws WriterException, IOException {
Hashtable<EncodeHintType, ErrorCorrectionLevel> hintMap = new Hashtable<>();
hintMap.put(EncodeHintType.ERROR_CORRECTION, ErrorCorrectionLevel.L);
QRCodeWriter qrCodeWriter = new QRCodeWriter();
BitMatrix bitMatrix = qrCodeWriter.encode(qrCodeText, BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE, size, size, hintMap);
int matrixWidth = bitMatrix.getWidth();
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(matrixWidth, matrixWidth, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
image.createGraphics();
Graphics2D graphics = (Graphics2D) image.getGraphics();
graphics.setColor(Color.WHITE);
graphics.fillRect(0, 0, matrixWidth, matrixWidth);
graphics.setColor(Color.BLACK);
for (int i = 0; i < matrixWidth; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < matrixWidth; j++) {
if (bitMatrix.get(i, j)) {
graphics.fillRect(i, j, 1, 1);
}
}
}
ImageIO.write(image, fileType, qrFile);
}
}
This is the generted QR code with text as Datacyper.
Thanks.
