Protocol buffers are a *binary* format. Those funny characters at the end of 
the string are probably part of the message, and you should leave them there. 
You also should not be passing them around as strings. They need to be passed 
as bytes. If you need to call getBytes("UTF-8") you are doing something wrong. 
Good luck,

Evan

[protobuf] Error while using parseFrom

[d34th4ck3r]

Hi,

I am trying to receive response from server which a protobuf, which is 
encoded, and there are "{" at the end of string so, I am truncating string 
using :

registerAgentResponse_string=registerAgentResponse_string.replace("{","");

then I convert this to byteArray using :

registerAgentResponse_byte =registerAgentResponse_string.getBytes("UTF-8");

and then I use:

RegisterAgentResponse.parseFrom(registerAgentResponse_byte)

RegisterAgentResponse is my protobuf.

This gives following error:

com.google.protobuf.InvalidProtocolBufferException: While parsing a 
protocol message, the input ended unexpectedly in the middle of a field. 
 This could mean either than the input has been truncated or that an 
embedded message misreported its own length.

What is it that I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Gautam
