<T>addAll(Iterable<T> values, List<? super T> list)

protected static void <T>addAll(Iterable<T> values, List<? super T> list)

newUninitializedMessageException(MessageLite message)

protected static UninitializedMessageException newUninitializedMessageException(MessageLite message)

Construct an UninitializedMessageException reporting missing fields in the given message.

Methods

clone()

public abstract BuilderType clone()

Clones the Builder.

Returns

Overrides

internalMergeFrom(MessageType message)

protected abstract BuilderType internalMergeFrom(MessageType message)
Parameter
NameDescription
messageMessageType
Returns
TypeDescription
BuilderType

mergeDelimitedFrom(InputStream input)

public boolean mergeDelimitedFrom(InputStream input)

Like #mergeFrom(InputStream), but does not read until EOF. Instead, the size of the message (encoded as a varint) is read first, then the message data. Use MessageLite#writeDelimitedTo(OutputStream) to write messages in this format.

Parameter
NameDescription
inputInputStream
Returns
TypeDescription
boolean
Exceptions
TypeDescription
IOException

mergeDelimitedFrom(InputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

public boolean mergeDelimitedFrom(InputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

Like #mergeDelimitedFrom(InputStream) but supporting extensions.

Parameters
NameDescription
inputInputStream
extensionRegistryExtensionRegistryLite
Returns
TypeDescription
boolean
Exceptions
TypeDescription
IOException

mergeFrom(byte[] data)

public BuilderType mergeFrom(byte[] data)

Parse data as a message of this type and merge it with the message being built. This is just a small wrapper around #mergeFrom(CodedInputStream).

Parameter
NameDescription
databyte[]
Returns
TypeDescription
BuilderType
Exceptions
TypeDescription
InvalidProtocolBufferException

mergeFrom(byte[] data, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

public BuilderType mergeFrom(byte[] data, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

Parse data as a message of this type and merge it with the message being built. This is just a small wrapper around #mergeFrom(CodedInputStream,ExtensionRegistryLite).

Parameters
NameDescription
databyte[]
extensionRegistryExtensionRegistryLite
Returns
TypeDescription
BuilderType
Exceptions
TypeDescription
InvalidProtocolBufferException

mergeFrom(byte[] data, int off, int len)

public BuilderType mergeFrom(byte[] data, int off, int len)

Parse data as a message of this type and merge it with the message being built. This is just a small wrapper around #mergeFrom(CodedInputStream).

Parameters
NameDescription
databyte[]
offint
lenint
Returns
TypeDescription
BuilderType
Exceptions
TypeDescription
InvalidProtocolBufferException

mergeFrom(byte[] data, int off, int len, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

public BuilderType mergeFrom(byte[] data, int off, int len, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

Parse data as a message of this type and merge it with the message being built. This is just a small wrapper around #mergeFrom(CodedInputStream,ExtensionRegistryLite).

Parameters
NameDescription
databyte[]
offint
lenint
extensionRegistryExtensionRegistryLite
Returns
TypeDescription
BuilderType
Exceptions
TypeDescription
InvalidProtocolBufferException

mergeFrom(ByteString data)

public BuilderType mergeFrom(ByteString data)

Parse data as a message of this type and merge it with the message being built. This is just a small wrapper around #mergeFrom(CodedInputStream).

Parameter
NameDescription
dataByteString
Returns
TypeDescription
BuilderType
Exceptions
TypeDescription
InvalidProtocolBufferException

mergeFrom(ByteString data, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

public BuilderType mergeFrom(ByteString data, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

Parse data as a message of this type and merge it with the message being built. This is just a small wrapper around #mergeFrom(CodedInputStream,ExtensionRegistryLite).

Parameters
NameDescription
dataByteString
extensionRegistryExtensionRegistryLite
Returns
TypeDescription
BuilderType
Exceptions
TypeDescription
InvalidProtocolBufferException

mergeFrom(CodedInputStream input)

public BuilderType mergeFrom(CodedInputStream input)

Parses a message of this type from the input and merges it with this message.

Warning: This does not verify that all required fields are present in the input message. If you call #build() without setting all required fields, it will throw an UninitializedMessageException, which is a RuntimeException and thus might not be caught. There are a few good ways to deal with this:

  • Call #isInitialized() to verify that all required fields are set before building.
  • Use buildPartial() to build, which ignores missing required fields.

Note: The caller should call CodedInputStream#checkLastTagWas(int) after calling this to verify that the last tag seen was the appropriate end-group tag, or zero for EOF.

Parameter
NameDescription
inputCodedInputStream
Returns
TypeDescription
BuilderType
Exceptions
TypeDescription
IOException

mergeFrom(CodedInputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

public abstract BuilderType mergeFrom(CodedInputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

Like Builder#mergeFrom(CodedInputStream), but also parses extensions. The extensions that you want to be able to parse must be registered in extensionRegistry. Extensions not in the registry will be treated as unknown fields.

Parameters
NameDescription
inputCodedInputStream
extensionRegistryExtensionRegistryLite
Returns
TypeDescription
BuilderType
Exceptions
TypeDescription
IOException

mergeFrom(MessageLite other)

public BuilderType mergeFrom(MessageLite other)

Merge other into the message being built. other must have the exact same type as this (i.e. getClass().equals(getDefaultInstanceForType().getClass())).

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. * For oneof groups, if the other message has one of the fields set, the group of this message is cleared and replaced by the field of the other message, so that the oneof constraint is preserved.

    This is equivalent to the Message::MergeFrom method in C++.

Parameter
NameDescription
otherMessageLite
Returns
TypeDescription
BuilderType

mergeFrom(InputStream input)

public BuilderType mergeFrom(InputStream input)

Parse a message of this type from input and merge it with the message being built. This is just a small wrapper around #mergeFrom(CodedInputStream). Note that this method always reads the entire input (unless it throws an exception). If you want it to stop earlier, you will need to wrap your input in some wrapper stream that limits reading. Or, use MessageLite#writeDelimitedTo(OutputStream) to write your message and #mergeDelimitedFrom(InputStream) to read it.

Despite usually reading the entire input, this does not close the stream.

Parameter
NameDescription
inputInputStream
Returns
TypeDescription
BuilderType
Exceptions
TypeDescription
IOException

mergeFrom(InputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

public BuilderType mergeFrom(InputStream input, ExtensionRegistryLite extensionRegistry)

Parse a message of this type from input and merge it with the message being built. This is just a small wrapper around #mergeFrom(CodedInputStream,ExtensionRegistryLite).

Parameters
NameDescription
inputInputStream
extensionRegistryExtensionRegistryLite
Returns
TypeDescription
BuilderType
