The UsbDevice Interface declares these three methods:
public String getSerialNumberString() throws UsbException, UnsupportedEncodingException, UsbDisconnectedException public String getManufacturerString() throws UsbException, UnsupportedEncodingException, UsbDisconnectedException public String getProductString() throws UsbException, UnsupportedEncodingException, UsbDisconnectedException
All three say that a UsbException might be thrown "If there was an error getting the UsbStringDescriptor." Could someone elaborate on that please? What sort of error might you encounter here? Is this common? For instance, might a device that only draws power from a USB port (e.g. a lamp) not respond to any method calls and thus cause this error? or would it not be recognized as a USB device in the first place?
