I am trying to read a message from RFID reader connected via USB to windows 10pro machine with usb4java library.
I have managed to claim the interface, opened pipe and registered listener for the data, however the listener is never triggered. The reader acts as keyboard and whatever it reads ends up in active application, such as IDE i have open, instead of in listener.
UsbInterface usbInterface = activeInteface(device);
// there is only one endpoint in the list
UsbEndpoint endpoint = (UsbEndpoint)usbInterface.getUsbEndpoints().get(0);
UsbPipe pipe = endpoint.getUsbPipe();
try {
usbInterface.claim();
// true
System.out.println("claimed usb interface: " + usbInterface.isClaimed());
pipe.open();
// true
System.out.println("pipe open: " + pipe.isOpen());
pipe.addUsbPipeListener(new MessageListener());
// true
System.out.println("pipe active: " + pipe.isActive());
// keep main thread alive, async call should be done from another thread i guess
Thread.sleep(15000);
}
catch (Exception any) {System.out.println(any);}
}
And the listener:
private static class MessageListener implements UsbPipeListener {
@Override
public void errorEventOccurred(UsbPipeErrorEvent event) {
System.out.println(event.toString() + " , " +event.getUsbException());
}
@Override
public void dataEventOccurred(UsbPipeDataEvent event) {
// this code block never triggers
System.out.println("listener ...);
int actualLength = event.getActualLength();
System.out.println("length: " + actualLength);
byte[] data = event.getData();
System.out.println("data length " + data.length);
}
}
i have also tried synchronous read instead of asynchronous in the block above, like this:
byte[] buffer = new data[8];
// this fails on its own, don't even need to read something with RFID reader
int received = pipe.syncSubmit(buffer);
fails with:
USB error1: Transfer error on interrupt endpoint: Input/Output error
There is some windows specific property that library supports: org.usb4java.javax.useUSBDK = true
but this fails when i try to set it with an exception.
I have 0 experience with USB devices so not sure how to proceed from here. Is there something wrong with the code, do i need USBDK or device does not support libUSB driver ? Sadly this is not my device and i don't have access to documentation of the device so cannot be sure if it is device driver issue.
