Android - decryption issues with AES encrypted string in QR code - android

I've built a QR code generator and a QR code scanner for passing data about phones and their users between phones (the phones are being loaned out so there will be a master phone with the scanner app and the rest with the generator app). The QR code generated is a JSON format string containing a persons name/number/imei of their phone but for security I have tried to encrypt the string before encoding to QR, but the scanned QR code throws up a 'pad block corrupted' error.
The JSON data encodes into QR/decodes from QR fine as plain text, and I checked the encryption/decryption before encoding to QR and the data encrypts/decrypts fine, so it's something to do with when the encrypted text is encoded into QR but I've no idea where to begin with it!
Does anyone know how i can sort the issue? Or if theres any QR friendly encryption methods?!!
I took the QRCodeEncoder straight from ZXings source and placed it into my activity:

And the encryption/decryption class from this website (unedited)
Here's a snippet of the onCreate() method in my activity:
QRCodeEncoder myQRCodeEncoder;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.qr_view);
ImageView imageView = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.qr_image);
extStorageDirectory = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();
try
{
//JSON data is passed from another activity to this one
qrMessage = getIntent().getStringExtra("QR_JSON");
Intent encode = new Intent(Intents.Encode.ACTION);
encode.putExtra(Intents.Encode.TYPE, Contents.Type.TEXT);
encode.putExtra(Intents.Encode.FORMAT, "QR_CODE");
//This is the original plain text way that works:
//encode.putExtra(Intents.Encode.DATA, qrMessage);
//This is the encyption way
String encMessage = SimpleCrypto.encrypt("my s3cr3t k3y", qrMessage);
encode.putExtra(Intents.Encode.DATA,encMessage);
myQRCodeEncoder = new QRCodeEncoder(this, encode, 200);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Could not encode:"+e.getMessage(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
catch(Error e)
{
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Could not encode:"+e.getMessage(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
try {
Bitmap qrBitmap = myQRCodeEncoder.encodeAsBitmap();
imageView.setImageBitmap(qrBitmap);
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Could not set image:"+e.getMessage(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
And here's the onActivityResult method from the scanner (I use ZXing's barcode scanner to retrieve the data)
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == 0) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String contents = intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT");//contents of the scan
String format = intent.getStringExtra("SCAN_RESULT_FORMAT");
// Handle successful scan
/* display the scanned persons info*/
try {
String decryptedcontents = SimpleCrypto.decrypt("my s3cr3t k3y",contents);
String result = getJSONFromScanData(decryptedcontents);
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
Toast.makeText(this, "Scanned data could not be decrypted:"+e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();//says 'pad block corrupted' as the message
}
} else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
// Handle cancel
Toast.makeText(this, "Scan cancelled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
}
EDIT: after some further investigation it seems that the encyption/decyption process seems to 'shave off' part of the data:
JSONObject example = new JSONObject("{\"user_firstname\":\"Ben\",\"user_lastname\":\" Ten\",\"user_login\":\"benten\",\"user_pass\":\"password\",\"user_email\":\"benten#domain.com\"}");
String mess = SimpleCrypto.encrypt("my s3cr3t k3y",example.toString());
String decrmess = SimpleCrypto.decrypt("my s3cr3t k3y",mess));
//decypts as:{"user_pass":"password","user_email":"benten#domain.com","user_login":"benten","user_lastname":"
as you can see only 96 characters are decrypted, theres no user_firstname or the users actual last name, the data is missing, but this number is inconsistent, I changed the user_email to "benbenten#domain.com" and the user_firstname to "benben" and 112 characters were decrypted...I am completely stumped
EDIT 2: Yngve Ã…dlandsvik has kindly pointed me in the right direction (many thanks again!) that the string length needed to be a multiple of 16, so I set the Cipher.getInstance in both the encrypt and decrypt methods to:
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("AES/ECB/NoPadding","BC");
and in my main activity set a loop to add 0's on the end of my string as custom padding before encrypting:
boolean carryOn = true;
while(carryOn)
{
int paddedLength = qrMessage.getBytes().length;
int checkMultiple16 = paddedLength%16;
if(checkMultiple16==0)
{
carryOn = false;
}
else
qrMessage+="0";
}
EDIT 3: It looks like QR encoding still screws with the encryption, I can't decrypt the scanned in data properly, looks like QR encoding does something with strings before it encodes to QR which seems to break the thing, guess I'll have to stick to unencrypted text in the QR...

I haven't read the code closely, but I assume this happens because AES only operates on blocks of 16 bytes at once. So my guess is you need to manually apply some form of reversible padding to your string before encryption so it becomes a multiple of 16, and then reverse the padding after decryption.
You could also change the Cipher.getInstance() strings in the crypto code so the encryption will support padding natively, though I don't know which padding types and cipher modes are available on Android.

android image not appearing when getting bytes from socket and using bitmap creation

I have a program in which I'm trying to download the content of an image file from a server. I'm using java socket to download it. After downloading, I use BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray() to create a bitmap.
At the server side, the file is a .jpg file and it's only about 180 KBytes, so I don't need to try scaling it. I can see through logs that the exact number of bytes in the file is received by my image download code. I store all the bytes in a byte[] array and then convert it into a bitmap.
The imageView is initially hidden and then supposed to be made visible after populating the image. But using BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray() is returning null always. I did see some other posts about null bitmap, but nothing seems to have an answer for this problem.
I don't want to use any external library just for this, so please do not give me suggestions to try out some other libraries. Can someone spot any problem with the code? The server side program is also mine and I know that part is correct because using that, browsers are able to download the same image file. I have copy-pasted it below.

I was making a mistake, assuming that a .jpg file's bytes can be directly decode with the android bitmap decoder. Apparently this is not the case. So, I wrote the received bytes into a temporary file in the phone storage and then called BitmapFactory.decodeFile() which is able to return a good bitmap and ends up showing the image.
So, have a working solution now.
Still - if anyone has a better suggestion how to decode directly from the received bytes (which are from a .jpg file), I would be very interested to try it out since that would be more efficient. Thanks.

How do I build an app that scans QR codes and uses their data on Android? [closed]

Improve this question
Please be advised I am a total novice at Android development, and have only progressed as far as "Hello world".
I don't actually want to build a QR code scanner, I would rather use a third party component, but I need an app that will scan a QR code, display some data from the code, and send some data to a web service.
Please can someone give me a real beginner's outline on the process and structure U should use in my application. I am an experienced C# developer, so the actual Java coding won't be a problem, and I'm certainly not asking how to do that, just how to set up the basic app architecture and process flow, e.g. how to show a dialogue, contact a web service, and use a third party component.
What I need is to scan a QR code, extract some text code from it, send those codes to a web service.
ZXing is a pretty good library which you can integrate in your application.Refer this class CaptureActivity
first you need zxing library for creating QR Codes and an installed application for reading QR codes like BarcodeScanner and a Encoder class like:

Error while converting text to QR code

I am trying to create a text to QR code converter.
I used the core2.2.jar from http://code.google.com/p/zxing/downloads/list and the code as told in Integrating the ZXing library directly into my Android application.
My Main.Activity is as shown below
package com.example.qr_androidone;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;

import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
//super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.qrCode);
String qrData = "Data I want to encode in QR code";
int qrCodeDimention = 500;
QRCodeEncoder qrCodeEncoder = new QRCodeEncoder(qrData, null,
Contents.Type.TEXT, BarcodeFormat.QR_CODE.toString(), qrCodeDimention);
try {
Bitmap bitmap = qrCodeEncoder.encodeAsBitmap();
imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
} catch (WriterException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
}
I used the "Contents.java" and "QRCodeEncoder.java" as shown in link Integrating the ZXing library directly into my Android application. I changed "activity_main.xml" also , as shown in above link
There are no errors in compiling, but there is error when the app runs

part.isMimeType == "Multipart/*" Does it mean it has an attachment?

I have an email project in Android and I can receive and download my mails and its attachments but now I want to learn if a message has an attachment or not, and how many attachments it has got.
I mean I just need to do an if clause like:
if(messages[i].hasAttachment)
{
int numberOfAttachments = messages[i].attachmentNumber;
// do smthng
}
else
{
// do smthng
}
Maybe its help: I am receiving my body part with this code sample. Meanwhile, as per my subject, if the isMimeType = "Multipart/alternative" or "Multipart/*" , does it mean it has an attachment?
public String getText(Part p) throws MessagingException, IOException {
if (p.isMimeType("text/*")) {
boolean textIsHtml = false;
String s = (String) p.getContent();
textIsHtml = p.isMimeType("text/html");
return String.valueOf(s);
}
if (p.isMimeType("multipart/alternative")) {
// prefer html text over plain text
Multipart mp = (Multipart) p.getContent();
String text = null;
for (int i = 0; i < mp.getCount(); i++) {
Part bp = mp.getBodyPart(i);
if (bp.isMimeType("text/plain")) {
if (text == null)
text = getText(bp);
continue;
} else if (bp.isMimeType("text/html")) {
String s = getText(bp);
if (s != null)
return String.valueOf(s);
} else {
return getText(bp);
}
}
return text;
} else if (p.isMimeType("multipart/*")) {
Multipart mp = (Multipart) p.getContent();
for (int i = 0; i < mp.getCount(); i++) {
String s = getText(mp.getBodyPart(i));
// fileName = bp.getFileName();
if (s != null)
return String.valueOf(s);
}
}
return null;
}
Here is the code I use to parse attachments. I used to parse with multipart/attachment or multipart/*, and changed to this:
if( mimeMessage.getContent() instanceof Multipart) {
Multipart multipartContent = (Multipart) mimeMessage.getContent();
List<BodyPart> deleteThese = new ArrayList<BodyPart>();
for( int i = 0; i < multipartContent.getCount(); i++ ) {
MimeBodyPart part = (MimeBodyPart) multipartContent.getBodyPart(i);
String disposition = part.getDisposition();
if( disposition != null
&& ( disposition.equalsIgnoreCase( Part.ATTACHMENT )
|| ( disposition.equalsIgnoreCase( Part.INLINE )
&& !part.isMimeType( PLAIN_TEXT_MIME_TYPE )
&& !part.isMimeType( HTML_MIME_TYPE ) )
) ) {
// do something with part
}
}
Essentially if an email has a Multipart there is potential for an attachment, but you have to look at the content disposition to really know. Part.ATTACHMENT would be what you are interested in, and optionally you can ignore or parse the Part.INLINE.

Generate barcode image in Android application

I need to generate 1D barcode image and set it to ImageView according to given 13-character code. Can anyone help me with this please?
You can use zxing library to generate barcode easily.
first, locate core.jar under libs folder.
libs/core.jar
You can download ZXing-2.1.zip from here.
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/zxing/ (source)
After unzipping the file, find the jar file.
\ZXing-2.1\zxing-2.1\core\core.jar
And then write your own code like below.

Thanks for your answers guys... In the meantime I found solution so here is what I used: http://www.onbarcode.com/products/android_barcode/barcodes/ean13.html

Check out the answer on: Generate 1D barcode in Android
They suggest using IText which is a java PDF manipulation library. That also has the capability to generate barcode images.
You can find sample code in that question that I linked and also here
