ObjectDataReader (Gluon Mobile 6.0.5 API)

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the object to read

All Known Implementing Classes:

GluonCloudObjectDataReaderImpl, GluonCloudObjectDataWriterImpl, GluonCloudRemoteFunctionObjectDataReaderImpl, GluonCloudUpdateFieldReader, InputStreamObjectDataReader, RestObjectDataReader, RestObjectDataWriterAndRemover
```
public interface ObjectDataReader<T>
```
An ObjectDataReader is an entity that has the ability to read an object. The actual source and method that are used for reading the object is completely up to the implementation. The most common scenario is that the reader reads its data using a InputDataSource and converts the read bytes by using an InputConverter.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`GluonObservableObject<T>`	`newGluonObservableObject()`	Provide an instance of a GluonObservableObject.
`T`	`readObject()`	Reads the object and returns it.

- Method Detail
  - newGluonObservableObject
```
GluonObservableObject<T> newGluonObservableObject()
```
    Provide an instance of a GluonObservableObject. This method is called by DataProvider.retrieveObject(ObjectDataReader) to get a GluonObservableObject that will contain the actual object when the retrieve operation has completed successfully. Most implementations will just return an instance of GluonObservableObject itself. Note that it is perfectly valid to return existing instances of GluonObservableObject.
    
    Returns:
    
    an instance of a GluonObservableObject
  - readObject
```
T readObject()
      throws IOException
```
    Reads the object and returns it. The actual source of the read and the method that converts the read data into an object instance is completely left to the implementation. This method is called by DataProvider.retrieveObject(ObjectDataReader) to initiate the actual read process. The returned object will be set on the GluonObservableObject that is returned in the newGluonObservableObject() method.
    
    Returns:
    
    the read object
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - when an exception occurred during the read process
