the partial request data in the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Bundle.html` format that will be sent to the provider during the initial candidate query stage, which should not contain sensitive user credential information (note: bundle keys in the form of `androidx.credentials.*` are reserved for internal library use)
`final @https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Bundle.html` `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/CreateCredentialRequest#getCredentialData()()`

the request data in the `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Bundle.html` format

the information to be displayed on the screen
`final https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String.html` `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/CreateCredentialRequest#getOrigin()()`

the origin of a different application if the request is being made on behalf of that application (Note: for API level \>=34, setting a non-null value for this parameter will throw a SecurityException if android.permission.CREDENTIAL_MANAGER_SET_ORIGIN is not present)
`final @https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String.html` `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/CreateCredentialRequest#getType()()`

the credential type determined by the credential-type-specific subclass (e.g. the type for `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/CreatePasswordRequest` is `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/PasswordCredential#TYPE_PASSWORD_CREDENTIAL()` and for `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/CreatePublicKeyCredentialRequest` is `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/PublicKeyCredential#TYPE_PUBLIC_KEY_CREDENTIAL()`)
`final boolean` `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/CreateCredentialRequest#isAutoSelectAllowed()()`

whether a create option will be automatically chosen if it is the only one available to the user
`final boolean` `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/CreateCredentialRequest#isSystemProviderRequired()()`

true if must only be fulfilled by a system provider and false otherwise
`final boolean` `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/CreateCredentialRequest#preferImmediatelyAvailableCredentials()()`

## Public constructors

### CreatePublicKeyCredentialRequest

Added in [1.6.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/credentials#1.6.0)

```
public CreatePublicKeyCredentialRequest(
    @NonNull String requestJson,
    byte[] clientDataHash,
    boolean preferImmediatelyAvailableCredentials,
    String origin,
    boolean isAutoSelectAllowed,
    boolean isConditional
)
```

Constructs a `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/CreatePublicKeyCredentialRequest` to register a passkey from the user's public key credential provider.

| Parameters |
|---|---|
| `@https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/annotation/NonNull https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String.html requestJson` | the privileged request in JSON format in the [standard webauthn web json](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dictdef-publickeycredentialcreationoptionsjson). |
| `byte[] clientDataHash` | a hash that is used to verify the relying party identity |
| `boolean preferImmediatelyAvailableCredentials` | true if you prefer the operation to return immediately when there is no available passkey registration offering instead of falling back to discovering remote options, and false (default) otherwise |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/String.html origin` | the origin of a different application if the request is being made on behalf of that application (Note: for API level \>=34, setting a non-null value for this parameter will throw a SecurityException if android.permission.CREDENTIAL_MANAGER_SET_ORIGIN is not present) |
| `boolean isAutoSelectAllowed` | whether a create option will be automatically chosen if it is the only one available to the user (note that there is a chance that the crendeiatl provider does not support auto-select even if you turn this bit on) |
| `boolean isConditional` | whether the public key credential should be created opportunistically based on the user's credential provider already possessing a password for the same account, and also based on internal system conditions, as well as conditions from the user's preferred credential provider, keeping in mind that this should be ideally set to true when making a request immediately after a successful, non-public-key sign-in or sign-up process (e.g. sign-in using a password) |

| Throws |
|---|---|
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin/-null-pointer-exception/index.html` | If `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/CreatePublicKeyCredentialRequest#(kotlin.String,kotlin.ByteArray,kotlin.Boolean,kotlin.String,kotlin.Boolean,kotlin.Boolean)` is null |
| `https://kotlinlang.org/api/core/kotlin-stdlib/kotlin/-illegal-argument-exception/index.html` | If `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/CreatePublicKeyCredentialRequest#(kotlin.String,kotlin.ByteArray,kotlin.Boolean,kotlin.String,kotlin.Boolean,kotlin.Boolean)` is empty, or if it is not a valid JSON, or if it doesn't have a valid `user.name` defined according to the webauthn spec (https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dictdef-publickeycredentialcreationoptionsjson) |

## Public methods

### getClientDataHash

Added in [1.2.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/credentials#1.2.0)

```
public final byte[] getClientDataHash()
```

a clientDataHash value to sign over in place of assembling and hashing clientDataJSON during the signature request; only meaningful when `https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/credentials/CreatePublicKeyCredentialRequest#(kotlin.String,kotlin.ByteArray,kotlin.Boolean,kotlin.Boolean,androidx.credentials.CreateCredentialRequest.DisplayInfo,kotlin.String,android.os.Bundle,android.os.Bundle,kotlin.Boolean)` is set

### getRequestJson

Added in [1.2.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/credentials#1.2.0)

```
public final @NonNull String getRequestJson()
```

the request in JSON format in the [standard webauthn web json](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#dictdef-publickeycredentialcreationoptionsjson).

### isConditional

Added in [1.6.0](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/credentials#1.6.0)

```
public final boolean isConditional()
```

whether the public key should be created opportunistically based on the user's credential provider already possessing a password for the same account and/or other provider specific conditions, and also based on internal system conditions. When set to true, it is important to note that no dialog like system UI is shown to the user, and instead the credential provider is to show a notification to the user when passkey creation is successful. Ideal scenarios to set this to true are when making a request immediately after a successful, non-passkey sign-in (e.g. sign-in using a password), or an independent sign-up process
