serialize and deserialize from flatbuffers to and from bytearray

[paul.ro...@googlemail.com]

hi group community :)

i want create a flatbuffers object in java which i can serialize to a byte array,
and later deserialize back in the java object. i work the first time with flatbuffers
and i can't initialised a java object. my way step by step:
1. write a scheme
2. compile this with the flatbuffers compiler into a java class
3. import the flatbuffers class from github
4. try to build a java object (!)

(!)
FlatBufferBuilder fbb = new FlatBufferBuilder(1);
int str = fbb.createString("Dummy");

Monster.startPerson(fbb);

Monster.addName(fbb, str);

int p = Person.endPerson(fbb);

Maybe someone can post a simple example to creating a flatbuffers object, and how to serialize and deserialize to and from bytearray?

Hope for an answer and best regards,

Paul

That looks correct. Now you just need to finish the buffer:

fbb.finish(p);

(assuming Person is your root type). If you want a byte array instead of a ByteBuffer, you can just call fbb.sizedByteArray();
