In my project I have to get the barcode type from its barcode number. Is there any framework or piece of sample code out there that can handle this on both iPhone and Android?
I have Googled around and found nothing.
Look at http://code.google.com/p/zxing/. This includes a barcode generator.

I'm trying to create an android app using B4A which holds a Barcode or QR code, so my question is: does anyone know the code for generating Barcode or Qr scanner in B4A. thanks
You can try this http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/abzxing-barcode-reader.7303/ It uses an external app (Zxing) to scan the barcode, which then returns the value of the barcode
I have zxing libray using that libray I wan to generate barcode of given text, How I can achieve this?
Please review these links and try it yourself...

ZBAR sdk is normally used to read QRcode or barcode & convert it to user data. Can we use ZBAR API to create QRcode for iphone?
As far I know Zbar SDK can only be used to read.
Maybe this link will be of some help.

https://github.com/myang-git/QR-Code-Encoder-for-Objective-C worked well to generate QR Codes even with much content and UTF-8 characters (where some other generators I tried failed). The project is active and Apache 2.0 licensed.
We're creating an iOS app that basically scans badges at events and collects contact info. We're looking for an iOS library that can read not only the number of the barcode, but also any additional information that's included (contact info). Does anyone have any library suggestions or will this have to be a custom library? Thanks in advance!
Updated:
Use AVCaptureMetaDataOutput in AVFoundation which works with minimum deployment target iOS 7.
Previous Answer:
Have been using ZBar SDK in most of our projects. Picks up barcode and scans very fast, easy to customize focus area from SDK. Tested on iPhone 3GS, iPhone4/4S, iPhone 5 and iPad

iOS7 has built in functionality scanning BarCodes not sepearate sdk is required; if your deployment target is iOS7
Is your barcode format up to you, or do you have a predetermined symbology you have to work with?
There is this: http://shopsavvy.mobi/sdk/. Don't know why that wouldn't work for you, unless you object to the licensing terms.
Checkout ZXing ("Zebra Crossing") at http://code.google.com/p/zxing/
Reads almost every kind of barcodes and we used it with great success previously.
Use ZBAR its the best, we used it in our app www.infomq.com and its is really stable and scans reliably.
Basically you want to use PDF417 which is a stacked linear barcode symbol. Check out the pdf417 decode on Sourceforge.
i am using zxing for barcode reader into my iphone application .But it is working for QRCoder 2D barcodes .But for my app i need to scan 1D barcodes. So what should i change into my code ,
or else what should i have to do so that my app is able to scan 1D barcodes.
You can use redlaser sdk for the barcode scanning. Check this url:
http://redlaser.com/
This will be useful for the following barcodes
What about the ZBar - Library ?
http://zbar.sourceforge.net/iphone/index.html
http://code.google.com/p/zxing
It says below that the iphone port of the zxing project for android only has the QR section implemented. So zxing isnt the way to go if you are looking for 1d barcodes.

Why don't 1D codes work on iOS devices? An initial port of the Java code to C++ for 1D codes was done some time ago but has not been actively maintained. Results generated by this code are not comparable in quality or stability to the Java code.
Because of this, it is disabled by default in the iOS classes. Contributors interested in improving and maintaining this code are welcome. It's not particularly hard; the Java code is actively maintained and not very difficult to port. The need is for someone with sufficient interest/motivation.
