                      int offset,
                      int length)

Create an OpenTRAC element with a variable-length UTF8 string value from the next series of bytes in an encoded OpenTRAC message.

Parameters:

type - OpenTRAC element type code

body - byte array containing the encoded OpenTRAC elements

offset - starting index in the array where this element begins

length - remaining number of bytes in the OpenTRAC encoded message

Parameters:

type - OpenTRAC type code

val - String value

Method Detail

valueString

Specified by:

valueString in class OpenTracElement

Returns:

value string

computeBody

public int computeBody(byte[] buf,
                       int offset)

Append this element to a message buffer

Specified by:

computeBody in class OpenTracElement

Parameters:

buf - byte array to add the element to

offset - starting index to store the element

Returns:

index after the end of the stored element

length
