This class acts as a factory for key managers based on a source of key material. Each key manager manages a specific type of key material for use by secure sockets. The key material is based on a KeyStore and/or provider specific sources.

Android provides the following`KeyManagerFactory`algorithms:

### getInstance

Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)  

```
static fun getInstance(algorithm: String!): KeyManagerFactory!

Returns a`KeyManagerFactory`object that acts as a factory for key managers.

This method traverses the list of registered security Providers, starting with the most preferred Provider. A new KeyManagerFactory object encapsulating the KeyManagerFactorySpi implementation from the first Provider that supports the specified algorithm is returned.

Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the[Security.getProviders()](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/security/Security.html#getProviders())method.

### getInstance

Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)  

```
static fun getInstance(
    algorithm: String!, 
    provider: Provider!
): KeyManagerFactory!
```

Returns a`KeyManagerFactory`object that acts as a factory for key managers.

A new KeyManagerFactory object encapsulating the KeyManagerFactorySpi implementation from the specified Provider object is returned. Note that the specified Provider object does not have to be registered in the provider list.

```
fun init(
    ks: KeyStore!, 
    password: CharArray!
): Unit
```

Initializes this factory with a source of key material.

The provider typically uses a KeyStore for obtaining key material for use during secure socket negotiations. The KeyStore is generally password-protected.

For more flexible initialization, please see[init(javax.net.ssl.ManagerFactoryParameters)](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/javax/net/ssl/KeyManagerFactory#init(javax.net.ssl.ManagerFactoryParameters)).

### init

Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels)  

```
fun init(spec: ManagerFactoryParameters!): Unit
```

Initializes this factory with a source of provider-specific key material.

In some cases, initialization parameters other than a keystore and password may be needed by a provider. Users of that particular provider are expected to pass an implementation of the appropriate`ManagerFactoryParameters`as defined by the provider. The provider can then call the specified methods in the`ManagerFactoryParameters`implementation to obtain the needed information.
