Yeap, Java is passing string to send_data() and set_report() calls (those have no
size parameter).

In JNI you can see:
 const char *c_report = env->GetStringUTFChars(report, NULL);
    if ( (status = sBluetoothHidInterface->send_data((bt_bdaddr_t *) addr, (char*) c_report)) !=
             BT_STATUS_SUCCESS) {

Those are test commands so not that important. But I wonder why this is done
also in handle_uhid_output()...   Ravi, could you comment on that?
