There is a nice tight version of the protobuf library that ships with the Android platform. It's got a tiny footprint, and is actually pre-loaded by zygote so that all apps benefit.
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/external/protobuf.git;a=tree;f=src/com/google/common/io/protocol;hb=cupcake There aren't really any good examples on how to use it, but here is a quick snippet off the top of my head that should be enough to get you started. (I've been writing a lot of protobufs recently, lol.) public static final ProtoBufType Item = new ProtoBufType(); public static final ProtoBufType List = new ProtoBufType(); static { Item.addElement(ProtoBufType.OPTIONAL | ProtoBufType.TYPE_STRING, ItemFields.value, null); Item.addElement(ProtoBufType.OPTIONAL | ProtoBufType.TYPE_INT32, ItemFields.length, null); List.addElement(ProtoBufType.REPEATED | ProtoBufType.TYPE_MESSAGE, ListFields.item, Item); } public interface ListFields { public static final int item = 1; } public interface ItemFields { public static final int value = 1; public static final int length = 2; } Hope this helps. :) j On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 4:32 PM, Inderjeet Singh <inder...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Anyone tried using protobuf (http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/) on > Android?
