- Base 256 Encoding
By default, the encoding mode for most components is BASE256. If the choice is to encode text or numbers only and size is a concern, a change of the encoding mode to ASCII may produce a smaller symbol. Valid values are 0 for BASE256, 1 for C40, 2 for TEXT and 3 for ASCII. 0 – BASE256 is used to encode 8 bit values, bytes of data. Lastresort (1) – Encode and decode data in base 256 Command-line utility for encoding and decoding arbitrary binary data to and from easily typed words from the EFF autocomplete-friendly wordlist.

Installing Android Barcode Fonts
- The following steps assume that Eclipse is being used and that the Android SDK and plug-in have already been installed and configured.
- Download and unzip the Java Font Encoder into a directory on the development computer.
(Java encoders for 2D barcode fonts are included in their respective font packages.) - In Eclipse, open the properties of the project.
- Select the Java Build Path option.
- Import the encoder.
- When importing a class file, such as in the PDF417 Java font encoder, click the Add External Class Folder... option, then navigate to the parent folder containing the package.
- When importing a jar file, click the Add External JARs button. Navigate to the jar file and click OK.
- Create a Fonts folder in the assets directory of your android project.
- Add the true type barcode font files that will be used to create the barcode such as the IDAutomationC128.ttf. These fonts will be applied programmatically to a TextView using the Typeface class, see source code examples.

Once installed, several different method parameters and properties may be used from the java font encoder to encode the input.
Using the Java Barcode Generator for Android
The method to use from the encoder will depend on the barcode type that will be generated. Here are some implementation examples of using the java font encoder for android with a specified barcode font.
