There are so many good barcode generator libraries for b4a but when will we get one for b4i that goes beyond 80 characters.
My current project needs to follow an industry standard where larger barcodes are used.
Aztec would be a very attractive addition.

Currently as a trial I increased the 78 limit of QRGenerator but got:
Error occurred on line: 87 (BytesBuilder)
*** -[NSConcreteMutableData initWithLength:]: absurd length: 18446744073709551156, maximum size: 9223372036854775808 bytes

This is not surprising. The limit is there because of the QR version that is implemented.

How many bytes do you need?

My trial string length is 136,
so about 150 needed due to variable security code length.

Trying to do this without linking to a 3'rd party website due to possible volume issues and lack of continuity. Also the importance of it being available offline.
Tried to do a link to a perl script on my own backend as a temporary measure,
but my contracted hosting site (shared) do not have any perl barcode modules loaded on the servers, or the possibility for this.
