Public functions

argForInstanceType

fun argForInstanceType(targetType: Class<Any!>): RemoteDescriptor!

Returns
`RemoteDescriptor!`	an `RemoteDescriptor` object by its target type.

argForMsgType

fun argForMsgType(protoMsgType: Class<Any!>): RemoteDescriptor!

Returns
`RemoteDescriptor!`	an `RemoteDescriptor` object by its proto message type.

argForRemoteTypeUrl

fun argForRemoteTypeUrl(typeUrl: String): RemoteDescriptor!

Returns an RemoteDescriptor by its any type url. The any type url in this case must match the remote type class, which knows how to convert a class to and from its target type!

Returns
`RemoteDescriptor!`	an `RemoteDescriptor` object by its remote type url.

getInstance

java-static fun getInstance(): RemoteDescriptorRegistry!

Returns a RemoteDescriptorRegistry object

Returns
`RemoteDescriptorRegistry!`	an instance of `RemoteDescriptorRegistry` object.

hasArgForInstanceType

fun hasArgForInstanceType(instanceType: Class<Any!>): Boolean

Checks if an instance type is registered with this registry.

Parameters
`instanceType: Class<Any!>`	the instance to check

Returns
`Boolean`	true if a `RemoteDescriptor` is registered for instance type

registerRemoteTypeArgs

fun registerRemoteTypeArgs(
    remoteDescriptors: (Mutable)List<RemoteDescriptor!>
): Boolean

unregisterRemoteTypeArgs

fun unregisterRemoteTypeArgs(
    remoteDescriptors: (Mutable)List<RemoteDescriptor!>
): Unit
