android : BarcodeFormat.CODE_128 not displaying text

Question

I made Barcode generator using ZXing Library but when barcode generate then it wont display text below barcode like

so please suggest me some solution that how to generate BARCODE CODE_128 with TEXT Here it my code:

try {

        Map<EncodeHintType, Object> hints = null;
        hints = new EnumMap<EncodeHintType, Object>(EncodeHintType.class);
        hints.put(EncodeHintType.CHARACTER_SET, "ABC-abc-1234");

        BitMatrix bitMatrix = new Code128Writer().encode("ABC-abc-1234", BarcodeFormat.CODE_128, 350, 150, hints);

        int width = bitMatrix.getWidth();
        int height = bitMatrix.getHeight();
        int[] pixels = new int[width * height];
        // All are 0, or black, by default
        for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
            int offset = y * width;
            for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
                pixels[offset + x] = bitMatrix.get(x, y) ? Color.BLACK : Color.WHITE;
            }
        }

        Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height,
                Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        bitmap.setPixels(pixels, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height);
        mImageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO: handle exception
    }

Answer 1

The encoder does not put any additional text into the image. Its purpose is to generate the barcode only. You would have to add it elsewhere.

Answer 2

To anyone, who is still searching a solution to the problem. A possible one is to create one Bitmap image for the barcode and another one for the information below the barcode. Then you can just combine/overlay or as you want the two Bitmaps into one and print the combined Bitmap! Tested with Brother LQ-720NW, everything works fine! :)

Answer 3

Substitute with the following:

BitMatrix bitMatrix = new Code128Writer().write( "ABC-abc-1234",
                                                 BarcodeFormat.CODE_128,
                                                 350,
                                                 150,
                                                 hints
                                                 );
