Field Detail

EMPTY

public static final ByteString EMPTY

Empty ByteString.

Method Detail

byteAt

public byte byteAt(int index)

Gets the byte at the given index.

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - index is < 0 or >= size

size

public int size()

Gets the number of bytes.

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Returns true if the size is 0, false otherwise.

copyFrom

public static ByteString copyFrom(byte[] bytes,
                                  int offset,
                                  int size)

Copies the given bytes into a ByteString.

copyFrom

public static ByteString copyFrom(byte[] bytes)

Copies the given bytes into a ByteString.

copyFrom

public static ByteString copyFrom(java.lang.String text,
                                  java.lang.String charsetName)
                           throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

Encodes text into a sequence of bytes using the named charset and returns the result as a ByteString.

Throws:

java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

copyFromUtf8

public static ByteString copyFromUtf8(java.lang.String text)

Encodes text into a sequence of UTF-8 bytes and returns the result as a ByteString.

copyTo

public void copyTo(byte[] target,
                   int offset)

Copies bytes into a buffer at the given offset.

Parameters:

target - buffer to copy into

offset - in the target buffer

copyTo

public void copyTo(byte[] target,
                   int sourceOffset,
                   int targetOffset,
                   int size)

Copies bytes into a buffer.

Parameters:

target - buffer to copy into

sourceOffset - offset within these bytes

targetOffset - offset within the target buffer

size - number of bytes to copy

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray()

Copies bytes to a byte[].

toString

public java.lang.String toString(java.lang.String charsetName)
                          throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

Constructs a new String by decoding the bytes using the specified charset.

Throws:

java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

toStringUtf8

public java.lang.String toStringUtf8()

Constructs a new String by decoding the bytes as UTF-8.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

newInput

public java.io.InputStream newInput()

Creates an InputStream which can be used to read the bytes.

newCodedInput

public CodedInputStream newCodedInput()

Creates a CodedInputStream which can be used to read the bytes. Using this is more efficient than creating a CodedInputStream wrapping the result of newInput().

newOutput

public static ByteString.Output newOutput(int initialCapacity)

Creates a new ByteString.Output with the given initial capacity.

newOutput

public static ByteString.Output newOutput()

Creates a new ByteString.Output.
