Method Detail

clear

public DynamicMessage.Builder clear()
Description copied from interface: MessageLite.Builder
Resets all fields to their default values.

Specified by:
clear in interface Message.Builder
Specified by:
clear in interface MessageLite.Builder
Overrides:
clear in class AbstractMessage.Builder<DynamicMessage.Builder>

mergeFrom

public DynamicMessage.Builder mergeFrom(Message other)
Description copied from interface: Message.Builder
Merge other into the message being built. other must have the exact same type as this (i.e. getDescriptorForType() == other.getDescriptorForType()). Merging occurs as follows. For each field:
* For singular primitive fields, if the field is set in other, then other's value overwrites the value in this message.
* For singular message fields, if the field is set in other, it is merged into the corresponding sub-message of this message using the same merging rules.
* For repeated fields, the elements in other are concatenated with the elements in this message. This is equivalent to the Message::MergeFrom method in C++.

Specified by:
mergeFrom in interface Message.Builder
Overrides:
mergeFrom in class AbstractMessage.Builder<DynamicMessage.Builder>

build

public DynamicMessage build()
Description copied from interface: MessageLite.Builder
Constructs the message based on the state of the Builder. Subsequent changes to the Builder will not affect the returned message.


buildPartial

public DynamicMessage buildPartial()
Description copied from interface: MessageLite.Builder
Like MessageLite.Builder.build(), but does not throw an exception if the message is missing required fields. Instead, a partial message is returned. Subsequent changes to the Builder will not affect the returned message.


clone

public DynamicMessage.Builder clone()
Description copied from interface: MessageLite.Builder
Clones the Builder.

Specified by:
clone in interface Message.Builder
Specified by:
clone in interface MessageLite.Builder
Specified by:
clone in class AbstractMessage.Builder<DynamicMessage.Builder>

Object.clone()

isInitialized

public boolean isInitialized()
Description copied from interface: MessageLiteOrBuilder
Returns true if all required fields in the message and all embedded messages are set, false otherwise.

See also: MessageOrBuilder.getInitializationErrorString()


getDescriptorForType

public Descriptors.Descriptor getDescriptorForType()
Description copied from interface: Message.Builder
Get the message's type's descriptor. See MessageOrBuilder.getDescriptorForType().


getDefaultInstanceForType

public DynamicMessage getDefaultInstanceForType()
Description copied from interface: MessageLiteOrBuilder
Get an instance of the type with no fields set. Because no fields are set, all getters for singular fields will return default values and repeated fields will appear empty. This may or may not be a singleton. This differs from the getDefaultInstance() method of generated message classes in that this method is an abstract method of the MessageLite interface whereas getDefaultInstance() is a static method of a specific class. They return the same thing.


getAllFields

public java.util.Map<Descriptors.FieldDescriptor,java.lang.Object> getAllFields()
Description copied from interface: MessageOrBuilder
Returns a collection of all the fields in this message which are set and their corresponding values. A singular ("required" or "optional") field is set iff hasField() returns true for that field. A "repeated" field is set iff getRepeatedFieldCount() is greater than zero. The values are exactly what would be returned by calling MessageOrBuilder.getField(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor) for each field. The map is guaranteed to be a sorted map, so iterating over it will return fields in order by field number.
If this is for a builder, the returned map may or may not reflect future changes to the builder. Either way, the returned map is itself unmodifiable.


newBuilderForField

public DynamicMessage.Builder newBuilderForField(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor field)
Description copied from interface: Message.Builder
Create a Builder for messages of the appropriate type for the given field. Messages built with this can then be passed to setField(), setRepeatedField(), or addRepeatedField().


hasOneof

public boolean hasOneof(Descriptors.OneofDescriptor oneof)
Description copied from class: AbstractMessage.Builder
TODO(jieluo): Clear it when all subclasses have implemented this method.

Specified by:
hasOneof in interface MessageOrBuilder
Overrides:
hasOneof in class AbstractMessage.Builder<DynamicMessage.Builder>

getOneofFieldDescriptor

public Descriptors.FieldDescriptor getOneofFieldDescriptor(Descriptors.OneofDescriptor oneof)
Description copied from class: AbstractMessage.Builder
TODO(jieluo): Clear it when all subclasses have implemented this method.

Specified by:
getOneofFieldDescriptor in interface MessageOrBuilder
Overrides:
getOneofFieldDescriptor in class AbstractMessage.Builder<DynamicMessage.Builder>

clearOneof

public DynamicMessage.Builder clearOneof(Descriptors.OneofDescriptor oneof)
Description copied from class: AbstractMessage.Builder
TODO(jieluo): Clear it when all subclasses have implemented this method.

Specified by:
clearOneof in interface Message.Builder
Overrides:
clearOneof in class AbstractMessage.Builder<DynamicMessage.Builder>

hasField

public boolean hasField(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor field)
Description copied from interface: MessageOrBuilder
Returns true if the given field is set. This is exactly equivalent to calling the generated "has" accessor method corresponding to the field.


getField

public java.lang.Object getField(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor field)
Description copied from interface: MessageOrBuilder
Obtains the value of the given field, or the default value if it is not set. For primitive fields, the boxed primitive value is returned. For enum fields, the EnumValueDescriptor for the value is returned. For embedded message fields, the sub-message is returned. For repeated fields, a java.util.List is returned.


setField

public DynamicMessage.Builder setField(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor field,
                                       java.lang.Object value)
Description copied from interface: Message.Builder
Sets a field to the given value. The value must be of the correct type for this field, i.e. the same type that MessageOrBuilder.getField(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor) would return.


clearField

public DynamicMessage.Builder clearField(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor field)
Description copied from interface: Message.Builder
Clears the field. This is exactly equivalent to calling the generated "clear" accessor method corresponding to the field.


getRepeatedFieldCount

public int getRepeatedFieldCount(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor field)
Description copied from interface: MessageOrBuilder
Gets the number of elements of a repeated field. This is exactly equivalent to calling the generated "Count" accessor method corresponding to the field.


getRepeatedField

public java.lang.Object getRepeatedField(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor field,
                                         int index)
Description copied from interface: MessageOrBuilder
Gets an element of a repeated field. For primitive fields, the boxed primitive value is returned. For enum fields, the EnumValueDescriptor for the value is returned. For embedded message fields, the sub-message is returned.


setRepeatedField

public DynamicMessage.Builder setRepeatedField(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor field,
                                               int index,
                                               java.lang.Object value)
Description copied from interface: Message.Builder
Sets an element of a repeated field to the given value. The value must be of the correct type for this field, i.e. the same type that MessageOrBuilder.getRepeatedField(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor,int) would return.


addRepeatedField

public DynamicMessage.Builder addRepeatedField(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor field,
                                               java.lang.Object value)
Description copied from interface: Message.Builder
Like setRepeatedField, but appends the value as a new element.


getUnknownFields

public UnknownFieldSet getUnknownFields()
Description copied from interface: MessageOrBuilder
Get the UnknownFieldSet for this message.


setUnknownFields

public DynamicMessage.Builder setUnknownFields(UnknownFieldSet unknownFields)
Description copied from interface: Message.Builder
Set the UnknownFieldSet for this message.


mergeUnknownFields

public DynamicMessage.Builder mergeUnknownFields(UnknownFieldSet unknownFields)
Description copied from interface: Message.Builder
Merge some unknown fields into the UnknownFieldSet for this message.

Specified by:
mergeUnknownFields in interface Message.Builder
Overrides:
mergeUnknownFields in class AbstractMessage.Builder<DynamicMessage.Builder>

getFieldBuilder

public Message.Builder getFieldBuilder(Descriptors.FieldDescriptor field)
Description copied from interface: Message.Builder
Get a nested builder instance for the given field.

Normally, we hold a reference to the immutable message object for the message type field. Some implementations(the generated message builders), however, can also hold a reference to the builder object (a nested builder) for the field.

If the field is already backed up by a nested builder, the nested builder will be returned. Otherwise, a new field builder will be created and returned. The original message field (if exist) will be merged into the field builder, which will then be nested into its parent builder.

NOTE: implementations that do not support nested builders will throw UnsupportedException.
