RemoteEntry


public final class RemoteEntry
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.service.credentials.RemoteEntry


An entry to be shown on the UI. This entry represents remote execution of a get/create flow whereby credentials are retrieved from, or stored to a remote device.

If user selects this entry, the corresponding PendingIntent set on the slice as a SliceAction will get invoked. Once the resulting activity fulfills the required user engagement, the Activity result should be set to Activity.RESULT_OK, and the result of the operation must be set as the activity result. For a get flow, invoked through CredentialProviderService#onBeginGetCredential, providers must set a GetCredentialResponse on the activity result, against the key CredentialProviderService#EXTRA_GET_CREDENTIAL_RESPONSE. For a creates flow, invoked through CredentialProviderService#onBeginCreateCredential, providers must set a CreateCredentialResponse on the activity result against the ket CredentialProviderService#EXTRA_CREATE_CREDENTIAL_RESPONSE.

RemoteEntry

Added in API level 34
public RemoteEntry (Slice slice)

Constructs a RemoteEntry to be displayed on the UI.

Parameters
slice Slice: the slice containing the metadata to be shown on the UI, must be constructed through the androidx.credentials.provider Jetpack library; If constructed manually, the slice object must contain the non-null properties of the RemoteEntry class populated as slice items against specific hints as used in the class's toSlice method, since the Android System uses this library to parse the slice and extract the required attributes

Public methods

describeContents

Added in API level 34
public int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(android.os.Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

getSlice

Added in API level 34
public Slice getSlice ()

Returns the content to be displayed with this remote entry on the UI.

Returns
Slice This value cannot be null.

writeToParcel

Added in API level 34
public void writeToParcel (Parcel dest, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
dest Parcel: This value cannot be null.

flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE. Value is either 0 or a combination of Parcelable.PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE, and android.os.Parcelable.PARCELABLE_ELIDE_DUPLICATES
