public final class RemoteEntry
extends Object implements Parcelable



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 ERROR(/androidx.slice.core.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.

Summary

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<RemoteEntry> CREATOR

Public constructors

RemoteEntry(Slice slice)

Constructs a RemoteEntry to be displayed on the UI.

Public methods

int describeContents()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation.

Slice getSlice()

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

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.

Fields

Public constructors

RemoteEntry

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

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(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

getSlice

public Slice getSlice ()

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

Returns
Slice This value cannot be null.
