Class AddressMessage

java.lang.Object
  com.google.bitcoin.core.Message
      com.google.bitcoin.core.AddressMessage

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class AddressMessage
extends Message

Represents an "addr" message on the P2P network, which contains broadcast IP addresses of other peers. This is one of the ways peers can find each other without using the DNS or IRC discovery mechansisms. However storing and using addr messages is not presently implemented.

Method Detail

parseLite

protected void parseLite()
                  throws ProtocolException

Description copied from class: Message

Perform the most minimal parse possible to calculate the length of the message. This is only required for subclasses of ChildClass as root level messages will have their length passed into the constructor.

Implementations should adhere to the following contract: If parseLazy = true the 'length' field must be set before returning. If parseLazy = false the length field must be set either within the parseLite() method OR the parse() method. The overriding requirement is that length must be set to non UNKNOWN_MESSAGE value by the time the constructor exits.

Specified by:

parseLite in class Message

Throws:

ProtocolException

getMessageSize

public int getMessageSize()

Description copied from class: Message

This should be overridden to extract correct message size in the case of lazy parsing. Until this method is implemented in a subclass of ChildMessage lazy parsing may have no effect. This default implementation is a safe fall back that will ensure it returns a correct value by parsing the message.

Overrides:

getMessageSize in class Message

getAddresses

public List<PeerAddress> getAddresses()

Returns:

An unmodifiableList view of the backing List of addresses. Addresses contained within the list may be safely modified.

addAddress

public void addAddress(PeerAddress address)

removeAddress

public void removeAddress(int index)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
