NullPointerException after opening device #21

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compiled on 64bit Ubuntu 12.4, copied the libhidapi-jni.so to /usr/lib
2. Running HIDAPITest lists mouse/keyboard and DataLogic barcodescanner 
successfully (DataLogic under /dev/hidraw3)
3. Uncomment the command readDevice for appropriate vendorID/productID or use 
the openByPath method.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect an actual object returned by openByPath/ById,
buth it returns null on any listed USB-device, generating 
anNullPointerException on the next line:
System.err.print("Manufacturer: " + dev.getManufacturerString() + "\n");

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v2011-12-21 on Ubuntu 12.4 x64

Please provide any additional information below.
Is there something trivial I am doing wrong? Listing devices works fine, 
however opening a device not.

Same here on Windows 7 64-Bit. openByPath/ById always returns null in the 
latest revision #354. Maybe it has something to do with the added 
64-Bit-Support. 

If used Revision #347 and everything works fine.

Also getting this issue now. Anyone have any idea why? I could go back but I 
need a 64bit dll. API is basically useless with this problem :(

I try to call openById/Path in while loop and after second execution device is 
opened and returned, but I can not write or read anything.:( - Reading returns 
0, writing returns IOException - I have used last Repository sources.

I had to run the jvm as root in order to get actual non-null devices back. docs 
should be updated to explain the case where null is returned from openByID/Path

Is here any progress, I have the same issue as described. How can I change the 
permissions for the java executables on a 64Bit Windows 7. I changed the 
permission for java.exe but it still returns null. while(hiddevice == null) 
{...open(); } no success as well, so any ideas?

I am experiencing this issue on Win 7 64 bit. Is there a solution on the 
horizon?

I also cannot get it to work on Windows 8 64bit.
I have a special keyboard being developed and I needed to test some extra LEDs.
Any solution

I experience the same problem with listDevices - although HIDManager is created 
successfully, listDevices throws NullPointerException. 64Bit Win7.

I had the same problem on a raspberry pi. Since I tried to execute the code in 
su mode it works fine for me

I have the same issue right now. This is really strange since I worked the last 
5 months on a project which makes use of this library and it worked so far. I'm 
getting the NullPointerException when I try to open a device. But I can get the 
list of available HID Devices.

I'm working on Windows7 64-Bit. The code I'm using right now is the same code 
of that time when it was working. The only thing I changed was just formating 
my harddrive and re-installing Windows 7. 

Has anyone a workaround for this issue?
Thank you in advance!

Ok I solved the problem by using angryelectron's patch:

Is angryelectron's patch still working for you? My java program is running fine 
on Linux but does not like Windows. It's also not throwing an exception which 
surprises me. However, after checking the contents of my HIDDevice after 
openByPath() its contents are null. This makes me believe the device is getting 
blocked in some form for read and write activity. Like mentioned above, I can 
see the list of devices including the one I'm trying to access. 

I used the jar files angryelectron provided. It's an awesome library, but 
Windows is being a pain.

 I'm having the same problem on windows 7 embedded 32bits and windows 7 32bits. It lists well my devices, also first write and read works when running my software as administrator but then the device is like blocked and I get null pointer exceptions.

Runs like a charm on windows 8 32/64 bits
