RemoteEntry

public final class RemoteEntry

An entry on the selector, denoting that the credential request will be completed on a remote device.

Once this entry is selected, the corresponding pendingIntent will be invoked. The provider can then show any activity they wish to while establishing a connection with a different device and retrieving a credential. Before finishing the activity, provider must set the final androidx.credentials.GetCredentialResponse through the PendingIntentHandler.setGetCredentialResponse helper API, or a androidx.credentials.CreateCredentialResponse through the PendingIntentHandler.setCreateCredentialResponse helper API depending on whether it is a get or create flow.

See android.service.credentials.BeginGetCredentialResponse for usage details.

Throws
kotlin.NullPointerException

If pendingIntent is null
