Given a FieldDescriptor and a byte[], how do I parse the latter to my implementation of GeneratedMessage? Neither I can see any references to the corresponding java class (which contains generated parseFrom(byte[] data)) nor any methods returning something like Parser<? extends GeneratedMessage>.

In other words, I'm having trouble figuring out how to do the same (Generic Parsing of PB in java) for a field (not for the whole message).

  • Do you mean [GeneratedMessage.getParserForType()](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/java/com/google/protobuf/GeneratedMessage#getParserForType())? – vlp Sep 15 '18 at 20:44
  • @vlp, no. I only have an instance of `FieldDescriptor` – Jay Foreman Sep 18 '18 at 08:41
