How to Upgrade

From Version 9.x to 10.x

Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK has been refactored to integrate with DynamsoftCaptureVision (DCV) architecture. To upgrade from version 9.x or earlier to 10.x, we recommend you to follow the User Guide and re-write your codes.

Update the Libraries to 10.x Version

The Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK has been split into multiple libraries from the previous single library, and the dependency configuration in the app\build.gradle file needs to be updated accordingly.

• Local Dependency Put the following aar files into libs directory and update app\build.gradle file:

  • DynamsoftCaptureVisionRouter.aar
  • DynamsoftBarcodeReader.aar
  • DynamsoftImageProcessing.aar
  • DynamsoftCore.aar
  • DynamsoftLicense.aar

  • DynamsoftCameraEnhancer.aar(optional)

    dependencies {
        implementation fileTree(include: ['*.aar'], dir: 'libs')   
    }
    

• Remote Dependency(Maven) update app\build.gradle file:

    dependencies {
        implementation 'com.dynamsoft:dynamsoftbarcodereaderdundle:{version-number}'
    }
  

  Note: Please view user guide for the correct version number.

Update the License Activation Code

Starting from 10.0, we have unified the API for setting licenses across different Dynamsoft products.

• Java code in 9.x:

BarcodeReader.initLicense("Put your license", new DBRLicenseVerificationListener() {
    @Override
    public void DBRLicenseVerificationCallback(boolean isSuccess, Exception error) {
        if(!isSuccess){
            error.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
});

• Java code in 10.x:

LicenseManager.initLicense("Put your license", this, new LicenseVerificationListener() {
    @Override
    public void onLicenseVerified(boolean isSuccess, Exception error) {
        if(!isSuccess){
            error.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
});

The template-based APIs have been updated as follows:

Migrate Your PublicRuntimeSettings

The class PublicRuntimeSettings has been refactored. It retains commonly used properties while removing the previously complex property settings, which are now exclusively supported through templates.

The APIs for accessing and updating PublicRuntimeSettings has been adjusted as follows:

Migrate to SimplifiedCaptureVisionSettings

The following properties are replaced by similar properties under SimplifiedCaptureVisionSettings. They can also be set via a template file(String).

Migrate to SimplifiedBarcodeReaderSettings

The following properties are replaced by similar properties under SimplifiedBarcodeReaderSettings. The majority of them can also be set via a template file(String).

Remarks:

• The 2 groups of barcode formats are merged.
• DeblurLevel is deprecated. You can use DeblurModes instead.

Remarks: The mode IPM_MORPHOLOGY of imagePreprocessingModes is migrated to BinarizationModes. The mode arguments MorphOperation, MorphOperationKernelSizeX, MorphOperationKernelSizeY, MorphShape are now available for all modes of BinarizationModes.

Migrate to Template File

The following properties can only be set via a template file. Please contact us so that we can help you to transform your current settings to a new template file.
