CustomDescription

class CustomDescription : Parcelable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.service.autofill.CustomDescription

Defines a custom description for the autofill save UI.

This is useful when the autofill service needs to show a detailed view of what would be saved; for example, when the screen contains a credit card, it could display a logo of the credit card bank, the last four digits of the credit card number, and its expiration number.

A custom description is made of 2 parts:

For the credit card example mentioned above, the (simplified) template would be:

<LinearLayout>
    <ImageView android:id="@+id/templateccLogo"/>
    <TextView android:id="@+id/templateCcNumber"/>
    <TextView android:id="@+id/templateExpDate"/>
  </LinearLayout>
  

Which in code translates to:

CustomDescription.Builder buider = new Builder(new RemoteViews(pgkName, R.layout.cc_template);
  

Then the value of each of the 3 children would be changed at runtime based on the the value of the screen fields and the Transformations:

// Image child - different logo for each bank, based on credit card prefix
  builder.addChild(R.id.templateccLogo,
    new ImageTransformation.Builder(ccNumberId)
      .addOption(Pattern.compile("^4815.*$"), R.drawable.ic_credit_card_logo1)
      .addOption(Pattern.compile("^1623.*$"), R.drawable.ic_credit_card_logo2)
      .addOption(Pattern.compile("^42.*$"), R.drawable.ic_credit_card_logo3)
      .build();
  // Masked credit card number (as .....LAST_4_DIGITS)
  builder.addChild(R.id.templateCcNumber, new CharSequenceTransformation
      .Builder(ccNumberId, Pattern.compile("^.*(\\d\\d\\d\\d)$"), "...$1")
      .build();
  // Expiration date as MM / YYYY:
  builder.addChild(R.id.templateExpDate, new CharSequenceTransformation
      .Builder(ccExpMonthId, Pattern.compile("^(\\d\\d)$"), "Exp: $1")
      .addField(ccExpYearId, Pattern.compile("^(\\d\\d)$"), "/$1")
      .build();
  

See ImageTransformation, CharSequenceTransformation for more info about these transformations.
