I'm working with a third party service that consumes a com.google.protobuf.Any
. I need to pass in a repeated Message myObject
object, but how does one pack a repeated protobuf field into an Any?
I'm writing a Kotlin extension function along the lines of fun List<Message>.toProtobufAny(): com.google.protobuf.Any {...}
to (hopefully) make this generic for any Message because I'll be sending in a variety of repeated message types. My first attempts have been to implement an Any.pack(RepeatedFieldBuilder<>)
, but haven't been successful yet with the syntax. Not finding very many code example out there on this specific use case.
Thanks.
CodePudding user response:
An Any
contains a single proto, not a repeated field.
You can create a List<Any>
, your own AnyRepeated
proto, or an Any
containing a proto that has a repeated
proto field for your chosen message type, but you cannot pack more than one proto into an Any
.
