Method Detail

getDefaultInstanceForTypeback to summary
public MessageLite getDefaultInstanceForType()

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.

isInitializedback to summary
public boolean isInitialized()

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