Hey Guys,
I am using Zxing library to create a QR Code, however to maximize the
amount of data that can be packed into a QR code, I am compressing the
data. The issue that I am running into is that I am able to create a QR
code with the compressed data, however it fails when I try to decompress
it. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, or if it is simply not
possible with QR codes.
Any assistance will be appreciated, below is my source code.
public class DataExfil {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
DataExfil dataExfil = new DataExfil();
}
public DataExfil() {
String output = "This Repository contains the source code for the
QR Code project.\n"
+ "This Repository contains the source code for the QR Code
project.\n"
