startLeScan with 128 bit UUIDs doesn't work on native Android BLE implementation

Question

I am having trouble using startLeScan( new UUID[]{ MY_DESIRED_128_BIT_SERVICE_UUID }, callback ) on the new introduced BLE API of Android 4.3 on my Nexus 4.

@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 parseUuids(byte[] advertisedData) {
     List uuids = new ArrayList();

     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;
 }
