Parsing data from hdp device for android (API 15)

I am using the HDP Sample and I have a Blood pressure sensor (http://www.andonline.com/medical/products/details.php?catname=&product_num=UA-767PBT-C). I get the data from it, but I don't know how to parse it into something human readable.

this is what I tried until now with something like:

while(fis.read(data) > -1) {
    String value = null;
    BigInteger bi = new BigInteger(data);
//  for(byte b:data){
//  value+=b;
//  }

Log.d("read data binary", "the data "+bi.toString(2));

Log.d("read data decimal", "the data "+bi.toString());

Log.d("read data hexa", "the data "+bi.toString(16));

Log.d("read data pure", "the data "+data);

//  Log.d("read data in for", "the data "+value);

and I get something like:

05-01 20:17:56.208: D/read data hexa(4760): the data -1dffffcd7ffffffffffeffd5af86ffd97fffffff7fff7fffffffffffffffff7ffffffff7fff6e000017fe6c9fd43ff7eff000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Anyone has any ideea how to parse it, please?

PS: Sorry for putting everything from the logcat, but maybe someone finds any connection

I found the solution. I needed the exact number of bytes that my sensor was sending + the way my sensor is sending the information.

I will put the part of the class that parse the data for my blood pressure monitor.

 public String byte2hex(byte[] b)
    {
     // String Buffer can be used instead
       String hs = "";
       String stmp = "";

       for (int n = 0; n < b.length; n++)
       {
          stmp = (java.lang.Integer.toHexString(b[n] & 0XFF));

          if (stmp.length() == 1)
          {
             hs = hs + "0" + stmp;
          }
          else
          {
             hs = hs + stmp;
          }

          if (n < b.length - 1)
          {
             hs = hs + "";
          }
       }

       return hs;
    }

    public static int byteToUnsignedInt(byte b) {
        return 0x00 << 24 | b & 0xff;
      }

    // Thread to read incoming data received from the HDP device.  This sample application merely

In order to understand this code you have to read the IEEE 11073 specifications also. Every kind of sensor has his own number of bytes.

I didn't do this code, someone gave it to me. If he asks me to remove it, I will :)
