@Navin’s code is good, but it includes an overflow bug from the original 16-bit Android code. (If either byte is larger than 127 then it becomes a negative integer.)
Here’s an implementation which fixes that bug and adds 128-bit support:
private List<UUID> parseUuids(byte[] advertisedData) {
List<UUID> uuids = new ArrayList<UUID>();
ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(advertisedData).order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN);
while (buffer.remaining() > 2) {
byte length = buffer.get();
if (length == 0) break;
byte type = buffer.get();
switch (type) {
case 0x02: // Partial list of 16-bit UUIDs
case 0x03: // Complete list of 16-bit UUIDs
while (length >= 2) {
uuids.add(UUID.fromString(String.format(
"%08x-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb", buffer.getShort())));
length -= 2;
}
break;
case 0x06: // Partial list of 128-bit UUIDs
case 0x07: // Complete list of 128-bit UUIDs
while (length >= 16) {
long lsb = buffer.getLong();
long msb = buffer.getLong();
uuids.add(new UUID(msb, lsb));
length -= 16;
}
break;
default:
buffer.position(buffer.position() + length - 1);
break;
}
}
return uuids;
}
