I want to create an application to generate a barcode USing Zxing as library.
I want an barcode Image. I ahve used the following code im my main project.

Intent intent = new Intent("com.google.zxing.client.android.Intents.Encode"); 
intent.setPackage("com.google.zxing.client.android");
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT); 
intent.putExtra("ENCODE_FORMAT", "CODE_128");  
intent.putExtra("ENCODE_DATA", "12345678912");
startActivity(intent);

But it is giving error:

I have declared activity in manifest also.

<activity
    android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.CaptureActivity"
    android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" >
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.SCAN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

Please let me know if I am missing something here.

    Î would say, you should declare the Encode Activity in your Manifest. Something like this:

    <activity android:name=".encode.EncodeActivity"
          android:label="@string/share_name"
          android:stateNotNeeded="true">
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="com.google.zxing.client.android.ENCODE"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
  </intent-filter>
  <!-- This allows us to handle the Share button in Contacts. -->
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    <data android:mimeType="text/x-vcard"/>
  </intent-filter>
  <!-- This allows us to handle sharing any plain text . -->
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    <data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>
  </intent-filter>
</activity>

    If you try to ship the ZXing Code in your App, please be aware that this could cause some odd behaviour in your App if a user has the normal ZXing App already installed.
