Class UnknownFieldSet.Builder (3.19.4)

Builder for UnknownFieldSets.

Note that this class maintains Field.Builders for all fields in the set. Thus, adding one element to an existing Field does not require making a copy. This is important for efficient parsing of unknown repeated fields. However, it implies that Fields cannot be constructed independently, nor can two UnknownFieldSets share the same Field object.

Use UnknownFieldSet#newBuilder() to construct a Builder.

Add a field to the UnknownFieldSet. If a field with the same number already exists, it is removed.

Get all present Fields as an immutable Map. If more fields are added, the changes may or may not be reflected in this map.

Build the UnknownFieldSet and return it.

Like #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.

Reset the builder to an empty set.

Clear fields from the set with a given field number.

Clones the Builder.

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.

Check if the given field number is present in the set.

Returns true if all required fields in the message and all embedded messages are set, false otherwise.

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.

Like #mergeDelimitedFrom(InputStream) but supporting extensions.

Add a field to the UnknownFieldSet. If a field with the same number already exists, the two are merged.

Parse a single field from input and merge it into this set.

Parse data as an UnknownFieldSet and merge it with the set being built. This is just a small wrapper around #mergeFrom(CodedInputStream).

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).

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).

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).

Parse data as an UnknownFieldSet and merge it with the set being built. This is just a small wrapper around #mergeFrom(CodedInputStream).

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).

Parse an entire message from input and merge its fields into this set.

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.

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++.

Merge the fields from other into this set. If a field number exists in both sets, other's values for that field will be appended to the values in this set.

Parse an UnknownFieldSet from input and merge it with the set being built. This is just a small wrapper around #mergeFrom(CodedInputStream).

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).

Convenience method for merging a length-delimited field.

For use by generated code only.

Convenience method for merging a new field containing a single varint value. This is used in particular when an unknown enum value is encountered.
