Serializing payment details in google protocol buffers

Question

In particular I'm trying to successfully return a payment object to the bitcoin client, this line of code:

required bytes serialized_payment_details = 4;

in the PaymentRequest message of .proto is required but I don't know how to generate the serialised payment details. Can someone tell me how to do it?

Answer 1

This is how you can do it:

serialized_payment_details = PaymentDetailsObject.SerializeToString()
