Credential

public final class Credential
extends Object implements Parcelable

Represents a user credential that can be used to authenticate to your app.

Summary

Constants
`String`	`TYPE_PASSWORD_CREDENTIAL` The type value for password credential related operations.

Inherited constants

From interface android.os.Parcelable

`int`	`CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR` Descriptor bit used with `describeContents()`: indicates that the Parcelable object's flattened representation includes a file descriptor.
`int`	`PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE` Flag for use with `writeToParcel(Parcel, int)`: the object being written is a return value, that is the result of a function such as "`Parcelable someFunction()`", "`void someFunction(out Parcelable)`", or "`void someFunction(inout Parcelable)`".

Fields
`public static final Creator<Credential>`	`CREATOR`

Public constructors
`Credential(String type, Bundle data)` Constructs a `Credential`.

Public methods
`int`	`describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`Bundle`	`getData()` Returns the credential data.
`String`	`getType()` Returns the credential type.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`void`	`writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)` Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted.

From interface android.os.Parcelable

`abstract int`	`describeContents()` Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.
`abstract void`	`writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags)` Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Constants

TYPE_PASSWORD_CREDENTIAL

public static final String TYPE_PASSWORD_CREDENTIAL

The type value for password credential related operations.

Constant Value: "android.credentials.TYPE_PASSWORD_CREDENTIAL"

Fields

Public constructors

public Credential (String type, 
                Bundle data)

Constructs a Credential.

Parameters
`type`	`String`: the type of the credential returned. This value cannot be `null`.
`data`	`Bundle`: the data associated with the credential returned. This value cannot be `null`.

Throws
`IllegalArgumentException`	If type is empty.

Public methods

describeContents

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`

getData

public Bundle getData ()

Returns the credential data.

Returns
`Bundle`	This value cannot be `null`.

getType

public String getType ()

Returns the credential type.

Returns
`String`	This value cannot be `null`.

toString

public String toString ()

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns
`String`	a string representation of the object.
