Method Details

toProto

public DescriptorProtos.FileDescriptorProto toProto()

Convert the descriptor to its protocol message representation.

Specified by:

toProto in class Descriptors.GenericDescriptor

getName

public String getName()

Get the file name.

Specified by:

getName in class Descriptors.GenericDescriptor

getFile

public Descriptors.FileDescriptor getFile()

Returns this object.

Specified by:

getFile in class Descriptors.GenericDescriptor

getFullName

public String getFullName()

Returns the same as getName().

Specified by:

getFullName in class Descriptors.GenericDescriptor

getPackage

public String getPackage()

Get the proto package name. This is the package name given by the package statement in the .proto file, which differs from the Java package.

getOptions

public DescriptorProtos.FileOptions getOptions()

Get the FileOptions, defined in descriptor.proto.

getMessageTypes

public List<Descriptors.Descriptor> getMessageTypes()

Get a list of top-level message types declared in this file.

getEnumTypes

public List<Descriptors.EnumDescriptor> getEnumTypes()

Get a list of top-level enum types declared in this file.

getServices

public List<Descriptors.ServiceDescriptor> getServices()

Get a list of top-level services declared in this file.

getExtensions

public List<Descriptors.FieldDescriptor> getExtensions()

Get a list of top-level extensions declared in this file.

getDependencies

public List<Descriptors.FileDescriptor> getDependencies()

Get a list of this file's dependencies (imports).

getPublicDependencies

public List<Descriptors.FileDescriptor> getPublicDependencies()

Get a list of this file's public dependencies (public imports).

copyHeadingTo

public void copyHeadingTo(DescriptorProtos.FileDescriptorProto.Builder protoBuilder)

findMessageTypeByName

public Descriptors.Descriptor findMessageTypeByName(String name)

Find a message type in the file by name. Does not find nested types.

Parameters:

name - The unqualified type name to look for.

Returns:

The message type's descriptor, or null if not found.

findEnumTypeByName

public Descriptors.EnumDescriptor findEnumTypeByName(String name)

Find an enum type in the file by name. Does not find nested types.

Parameters:

name - The unqualified type name to look for.

Returns:

The enum type's descriptor, or null if not found.

findServiceByName

public Descriptors.ServiceDescriptor findServiceByName(String name)

Find a service type in the file by name.

Parameters:

name - The unqualified type name to look for.

Returns:

The service type's descriptor, or null if not found.

findExtensionByName

public Descriptors.FieldDescriptor findExtensionByName(String name)

Find an extension in the file by name. Does not find extensions nested inside message types.

Parameters:

name - The unqualified extension name to look for.

Returns:

The extension's descriptor, or null if not found.

buildFrom

public static Descriptors.FileDescriptor buildFrom(DescriptorProtos.FileDescriptorProto proto,
 Descriptors.FileDescriptor[] dependencies)
                                            throws Descriptors.DescriptorValidationException

Construct a FileDescriptor.

Parameters:

proto - the protocol message form of the FileDescriptort

dependencies - FileDescriptors corresponding to all of the file's dependencies.

Throws:

Descriptors.DescriptorValidationException - proto is not a valid descriptor. This can occur for a number of reasons; for instance, because a field has an undefined type or because two messages were defined with the same name.

buildFrom

public static Descriptors.FileDescriptor buildFrom(DescriptorProtos.FileDescriptorProto proto,
 Descriptors.FileDescriptor[] dependencies,
 boolean allowUnknownDependencies)
                                            throws Descriptors.DescriptorValidationException

Construct a FileDescriptor.

Parameters:

proto - the protocol message form of the FileDescriptor

dependencies - FileDescriptors corresponding to all of the file's dependencies

allowUnknownDependencies - if true, non-existing dependencies will be ignored and undefined message types will be replaced with a placeholder type. Undefined enum types still cause a DescriptorValidationException.

Throws:

Descriptors.DescriptorValidationException - proto is not a valid descriptor. This can occur for a number of reasons; for instance, because a field has an undefined type or because two messages were defined with the same name.

internalBuildGeneratedFileFrom

public static Descriptors.FileDescriptor internalBuildGeneratedFileFrom(String[] descriptorDataParts,
 Descriptors.FileDescriptor[] dependencies)

This method is to be called by generated code only. It is equivalent to buildFrom except that the FileDescriptorProto is encoded in protocol buffer wire format.

internalBuildGeneratedFileFrom

public static Descriptors.FileDescriptor internalBuildGeneratedFileFrom(String[] descriptorDataParts,
 Class<?> descriptorOuterClass,
 String[] dependencyClassNames,
 String[] dependencyFileNames)

This method is to be called by generated code only. It uses Java reflection to load the dependencies' descriptors.

internalUpdateFileDescriptor

public static void internalUpdateFileDescriptor(Descriptors.FileDescriptor descriptor,
 ExtensionRegistry registry)

This method is to be called by generated code only. It updates the FileDescriptorProto associated with the descriptor by parsing it again with the given ExtensionRegistry. This is needed to recognize custom options.

resolveAllFeaturesImmutable

public void resolveAllFeaturesImmutable()
