How can i create a mobile app to read and scan barcode from Android mobile camera and show the product type. The main issue here is how to focus on the barcode lines and capture their density.

Serious, do some search on google, check some library projects and create an idea on how to achieve your goal.
We can't develop a raw idea for you - unless you pay us well.

I have developed code for the project. but the problem i am facing is with how to focus the camera on barcode lines.

I tried to create and androip app where a user inputs a medicine, qty and hours(per day). After pressing save, the information will be stored at a file and an alarm should be created to trigger every hour (user spicified/hours). The application always stops and there seems to be a lot of error.
Here is how I create it:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_medicinereminder);
MedName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.MedName);
Qty = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.MedQty);
NoOfHours = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.MedHours);
noh = Integer.parseInt((NoOfHours.getText()).toString());
Button SaveRem = (Button) findViewById(R.id.createRem);
SaveRem.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
try
{
String filePath = getFilesDir().getPath().toString() + "/MedRem.txt";
File myFile = new File(filePath);
myFile.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fOut = new FileOutputStream(myFile);
OutputStreamWriter myOutWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(fOut);
myOutWriter.append(MedName.getText() + "\n");
myOutWriter.append(Qty.getText() + "\n");
myOutWriter.append(NoOfHours.getText() + "\n");
myOutWriter.close();
fOut.close();
createAlarm(noh);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), e.getMessage(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
});
}
public void createAlarm(int noOfHours)
{
//Create an offset from the current time in which the alarm will go off.
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.add(Calendar.HOUR,noOfHours);
try{
//Create a new PendingIntent and add it to the AlarmManager
Intent alarmIntent = new Intent(this, MyAlarmService.class);
alarmIntent.putExtra("nel.example.alarms1","My message");
PendingIntent pendingAlarmIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0,
alarmIntent, 0);
AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager)getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE);
Calendar AlarmCal = Calendar.getInstance();
AlarmCal.setTimeInMillis(System.currentTimeMillis());
AlarmCal.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0); // set user selection
AlarmCal.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 10); // set user selection
AlarmCal.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,
AlarmCal.getTimeInMillis(), AlarmManager.INTERVAL_FIFTEEN_MINUTES,
pendingAlarmIntent);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
"Medicine Reminder Saved'",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), e.getMessage(),
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
Here is the latest Catlog of my app:

I'm stuck with applying the SOLID principle in my code.
Problems:
1) I don't want to violate SRP, so I don't know if the protected members of AbstractScreen are violating this
2) My screen interface should not have this many responsibilities, I probably need to remove them
3) I decided to make a DocumentLoader class to take care of providing my screens with the input and output documents they need in order to display something on the screen. What is displayed depends on the input and output file I give it. Thus I made the DocumentLoaderInterface, with loadDocuments(List<document>).
This is my real problem: where am I going to put the implementation of loadDocuments() if it varies per screen? I can't posssibly go put this code in a screen, because that will give the screen too many responsibilities. If I implement it in the DocumentLoader class, then only one implementation will be available, unless I make several DocumentLoader objects.
Where do I instantiate them? If I call documentLoader.loadDocuments(); then where is the implementation going to be? How do I implement this?.. I'm really stuck.
Please find below my code structure:
package screens:
Screen
AbstractScreen
protected Document inputDocument, outputDocument;
protected SAXBuilder parser;
protected ComponentService componentService;
protected DocumentLoader documentLoader;
ScreenInterface:
public Document getScherm();
public void addComponents();
public Object getC(String key);
public void loadDocuments();
package ui:
TestUi
package utils:
ComponentService
UtilityFactory
package xmlio:
DocumentLoader
DocumentLoaderInterface
XmlIo
XmlIoInterface
//Application Goal:
Have a GUI draw a XAML screen depending on the input XML document. Different documents will produce different charts.
|

|

Working from the bottom up, you should implement all the data logic below the UI layer. Have a class that loads the document, it will know how to interpret the document and get the definitions out. Then have asingle UI class read the data to define itself. This allows different UI's to use the same data class and can make supporting multiple platforms - desktop, tablet, web - much easier as you only need to implement the UI once per UX variant.

From my understanding so far from the Java tutorials, but there was a question I wanted to clarify.
When creation of a Object which isn't static, each decleration of the object with Object object = new Object() will create a new instance,
if it was static wouldn't that mean instead of creating multiple instances, instead of only existing as one instance. As a non static would they then be independent of each other?
public class One{
Object object = new Object();
public static void main(String[] args){
One.start(object);
}
}
public class Two{
Object obj = new Object();
public void start(Object obj){
this.obj = obj;
}
}

Your understanding is a bit off.
There is no such thing, in Java at least, as a static object. There are classes with static only methods, so no instances are required, and there are singletons, classes which only ever have a single instance.
Each class defines a type of object and how it works, it is not the object itself. Within a class, you can have items defined as static. Static members are shared by all instances of the class and do not actually require an instance to be created; a good example is the main entry method.

You can have static and non-static member variables. If you have non static member variable as per your example then for each instance of 'One' that you create then the member variable for that instance will point to a different instance of Object.
Joshhua123 wrote: if it was static wouldn't that mean instead of creating multiple instances,

If the member variable was static then there would be only one instance of Object regardless of how many new instances of 'One' you created.
Joshhua123 wrote: As a non static would they then be independent of each other?
As noted above (when it is a non-static member) there is a new Object created each time. They are different so yes they are independent.

In this code
int i =2;
System.out.print(" Run " + i+1 + " ");
It prints Run 21
Where I would have expected to print Run 3

The plus operator is left associative so I'd expect 21 as the result. 22 does not make any sense whatsoever. What happens when you put i + 1 in parenthesis like this: (i + 1).
Try that and think about associativity of operators and what it means to the process of evaluation/compilation.
Cheers!

The reason you are not getting 'Run 3' is because Java is thinking about string concatination. As it is processing from left to right you would see:
"Run 2" + 1 + ""
But this is where it gets a bit strange, I would expect to see the number 1 printed next giving you:
"Run 21"
If you want to add two numbers you must use brackets to indicate priority:
System.out.print("Run "+ (i+1));

..if the system had these kind of "bugs" or "features", they would have been found by now, don't you think? 
|
|
|
|
|
The others have already explained why it is so.
I would like to add into, that the + is an operator and is overloaded in the String class and also used different in the System.out.

int i =2;
System.out.print(" Run " +(i+1)+ " ");
This is the code. Keep the brackets.

This is a repost of code for project work[^], which has already received some suggestions. If you want further help then please edit this question and put your code between <pre> tags for readability. Also, please explain what problems you are having with your code.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

First lets give some context, I've just created a client and server but they don't work without using console So I've decided to create a GUI on top they'll communicate though the Stack, but that's all for a later date, right now I get a error on the Even listener which says that the JTextField is empty upon .getText() even though it's not. I've looked though it, but since I'm quite new to the whole Swing field, it's a challenge for me to fix the problem. It really is a simple GUI.
import java.awt.Button;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.Stack;
import javax.swing.*;
public class GUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
Stack<String> incoming = null;
Stack<String> outgoing = null;
JTextField input;
JTextArea output;
Button button;
public GUI(){
setTitle("Satire v1.0.1");
setSize(320,360);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(null);
output = new JTextArea();
output.setBounds(0, 0, 300, 300);
output.setEditable(false);
input = new JTextField();
input.setBounds(0, 300, 260, 20);
button = new Button("SEND");
button.setBounds(250, 300, 50, 20);
button.addActionListener(this);
getContentPane().add(panel);
panel.add(button);
panel.add(input);
panel.add(output);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
GUI gui = new GUI();
try{
String out = gui.input.getText();
gui.input.selectAll();
outgoing.add(out);
}catch(NullPointerException e3){}
gui.output.append(outgoing.pop());
}
public static void main(String[] args){
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run(){
GUI cGUI = new GUI();
cGUI.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}

You are new to object oriented programming as well, arent you? 
Instead of this:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
GUI gui = new GUI();
try{
String out = gui.input.getText();
gui.input.selectAll();
outgoing.add(out);
}catch(NullPointerException e3){}
gui.output.append(outgoing.pop());
}
Use this:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try{
String out = input.getText();
input.selectAll();
outgoing.add(out);
}catch(NullPointerException e3){}
output.append(outgoing.pop());
}

I have made the edit, yes I'm new, but learning fast, a lot faster than expected.
though the edit has been made, there was no change to the error. What I don't understand is that the field isn't empty D:
