public BuilderType clear()

Description copied from interface: MessageLite.Builder

Resets all fields to their default values.

clone

public BuilderType clone()

Description copied from interface: MessageLite.Builder

Object.clone()

mergeFrom

public abstract BuilderType mergeFrom(MessageType message)

All subclasses implement this.

getDefaultInstanceForType

public abstract MessageType getDefaultInstanceForType()

Description copied from interface: MessageLiteOrBuilder

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.
