Equivalent of ByteSize() in protobuf

Is there an equivalent of ByteSize() for protobuf in Java? I'm trying to get the size of a protobuf before serializing it.

Something like:

Protobuf.Builder buffer = Protobuf.newBuilder();

I need the size of the buffer now. Any idea how to obtain it?

Build the protocol buffer, and call getSerializedSize().
