io.nayuki.qrcodegen.DataTooLongException
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.io.Serializable
public class DataTooLongException
extends java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
Thrown when the supplied data does not fit any QR Code version. Ways to handle this exception include:

  • Decrease the error correction level if it was greater than Ecc.LOW.

  • If the advanced encodeSegments() function with 6 arguments or the makeSegmentsOptimally() function was called, then increase the maxVersion argument if it was less than QrCode.MAX_VERSION. (This advice does not apply to the other factory functions because they search all versions up to QrCode.MAX_VERSION.)

  • Split the text data into better or optimal segments in order to reduce the number of bits required. (See QrSegmentAdvanced.makeSegmentsOptimally().)

  • Change the text or binary data to be shorter.

  • Change the text to fit the character set of a particular segment mode (e.g. alphanumeric).

  • Propagate the error upward to the caller/user.
