Android Zbar not reading QR code

I am have tried following 2 libraries to read QR code(not bar code).

https://github.com/DushyanthMaguluru/ZBarScanner http://zbar.sourceforge.net/iphone/index.html

both are reading QR Code but both libraries giving me (0104031467489264) this format of data. I tried to read same QR code with android QR reader application "QR Droid" and it returned me complete data like (12102013|name|2012046800|110001|1620.91||||||)

Please can anyone guide me how i can read complete data of QR code using these libraries. Following is QR Code image.

That's not a QR Code. That's a Datamatrix.

Most probably, you're getting '0104031467489264' because of a false positive (the library thinks it found a barcode).

If you really want to handle QR Codes, you can generate them here to test: http://qrdroid.com/generate

If you need to handle Datamatrix, double check if those libraries support them. Or you can try ZXing.

Or, if it's OK to require an external app to handle your app's scans, you can integrate to QR Droid by Intents, that's much easier. More info and sample code: http://qrdroid.com/android-developers.php
