/**
 * Generic implementation of the {@link EspressoRemoteMessage} interface, which uses reflection for
 * proto message serialization and deserialization.
 *
 * <p>Every Espresso matcher, view action or view assertion needs to support proto serialization to
 * participate in any kind of cross process UI interaction using Espresso Remote.
 *
 * <p>Each serializable type T needs to provide two things. First a proto message declaration of
 * type T. Second an {@link EspressoRemoteMessage} class which implements the {@link
 * EspressoRemoteMessage.To} and {@link EspressoRemoteMessage.From} interfaces to
 * serialize/deserialization any state into their proto message equivalent.
 *
 * <p>This {@link GenericRemoteMessage} class is special type of {@link EspressoRemoteMessage},
 * which implements the the {@link EspressoRemoteMessage.To} and {@link EspressoRemoteMessage.From}
 * interfaces and uses reflection to perform serialisation of an object of type T into its proto
 * message representation.
 *
 * <p>Espresso Remote uses a global {@link RemoteDescriptorRegistry} for {@link RemoteDescriptor}
 * lookups. Where a {@link RemoteDescriptor} is a descriptor object which contains all the necessary
 * meta information for proto serialization.
 *
 * <p>Usage:
 *
 * <p>For a type {@code Foo} with fields {@code bar} and {@code baz}:
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * public class Foo {
 *   private final String bar;
 *   private final int baz;
 *
 *   protected Foo(String bar, int baz) { // set fields }
 * }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p>Note: A protected constructor with serializable fields in declared order is required for proto
 * deserialization.
 *
 * <p>Create a corresponding proto definition, {@code FooProto.proto} for {@code Foo}:
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * message FooProto {
 *   bytes bar = 1; // Name needs to match Foo#bar
 *   bytes baz = 2; // Name needs to match Foo#baz
 * }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p>The proto type definitions used with {@link GenericRemoteMessage} need to be of type {@code
 * byte} and the type names must match the variable name of the serializable fields in {@code
 * Foo.java}.
 *
 * <p>The last step is to create a {@link RemoteDescriptor} using a {@link
 * RemoteDescriptor.Builder}, to configure all the meta data required for generic serialization.
 * Finally register the descriptor with the {@link RemoteDescriptorRegistry}. A typical descriptor
 * builder looks like this:
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * new RemoteDescriptor.Builder()
 *   .setInstanceType(Foo.class)
 *   .setInstanceFieldDescriptors(
 *     FieldDescriptor.of(String.class, "bar")),
 *     FieldDescriptor.of(int.class, 32))
 *   .setRemoteType(GenericRemoteMessage.class)
 *   .setProtoType(FooProto.class)
 *   .build();
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <p>First set the instance type, {@code Foo.class}. Then specify the serializable fields using a
 * {@link FieldDescriptor}. Where a {@link FieldDescriptor} represents the name and the type of a
 * reflective field of {@code Foo}. Any fields described by the field properties and passed to
 * {@link RemoteDescriptor.Builder#setInstanceFieldDescriptors(FieldDescriptor...)} will be
 * serialised into {@code FooProto.proto}. Next specify that type {@code Foo} will use for it's
 * serialization entry point, in this case {@link GenericRemoteMessage} and lastly set the proto
 * message class.
 *
 * <p>Note: The declared field properties order, must match the protected constructor of {@code
 * Foo}, which takes the serializable fields in declared order!
 *
 * @throws RemoteProtocolException if a {@link FieldDescriptor}s field name does not match any field
 *     in the declared type or proto message.
 * @throws RemoteProtocolException if type cannot be serialised or dematerialised
