The following directions will allow you to access the data in the PDF417 barcodes that follow the AAMVA specification. You will be able to read the data contained within it

Download the LEADTOOLS Android installation here: https://www.leadtools.co...category=android#android
Open the Barcode demo located in Android Studio ...\LEADTOOLS20_Android\Examples\Android\BarcodeDemo
Modify the following code located in the BarcodeDemoActivity.java file in the readBarcodeFromLiveCapture method

Code:

mElapsedTime = (System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime) / 1000.0; // *Add code after here*
      
      if(mResultsData != null && mResultsData.getSymbology() == BarcodeSymbology.PDF417) { // When a barcode is detected in live capture

         AAMVAID id = BarcodeData.parseAAMVAData(mResultsData.getData(), false); // Parse barcode data located in mResultsData
         Log.d("firstname", id.getFirstName().getValue()); //Output value contained in field
         Log.d("lastname", id.getLastName().getValue());
         Log.d("address", id.getAddressCity());
         Log.d("postalcode", id.getAddressPostalCode());
      }

When the barcode is recognized using live capture, you are taking the recognized byte data contained within mResultsData, and passing it into the ParseAAMVAData method.You can then use one of the available properties, such as getFirstName, to pull the information that was detected.
