40 /**
41  * An {@code AutofillService} is a service used to automatically fill the contents of the screen
42  * on behalf of a given user - for more information about autofill, read
43  * <a href="{@docRoot}preview/features/autofill.html">Autofill Framework</a>.
44  *
45  * <p>An {@code AutofillService} is only bound to the Android System for autofill purposes if:
46  * <ol>
47  *   <li>It requires the {@code android.permission.BIND_AUTOFILL_SERVICE} permission in its
48  *       manifest.
49  *   <li>The user explicitly enables it using Android Settings (the
50  *       {@link Settings#ACTION_REQUEST_SET_AUTOFILL_SERVICE} intent can be used to launch such
51  *       Settings screen).
52  * </ol>
53  *
54  * <a name="BasicUsage"></a>
55  * <h3>Basic usage</h3>
56  *
57  * <p>The basic autofill process is defined by the workflow below:
58  * <ol>
59  *   <li>User focus an editable {@link View}.
60  *   <li>View calls {@link AutofillManager#notifyViewEntered(android.view.View)}.
61  *   <li>A {@link ViewStructure} representing all views in the screen is created.
62  *   <li>The Android System binds to the service and calls {@link #onConnected()}.
63  *   <li>The service receives the view structure through the
64  *       {@link #onFillRequest(FillRequest, CancellationSignal, FillCallback)}.
65  *   <li>The service replies through {@link FillCallback#onSuccess(FillResponse)}.
66  *   <li>The Android System calls {@link #onDisconnected()} and unbinds from the
67  *       {@code AutofillService}.
68  *   <li>The Android System displays an autofill UI with the options sent by the service.
69  *   <li>The user picks an option.
70  *   <li>The proper views are autofilled.
71  * </ol>
72  *
73  * <p>This workflow was designed to minimize the time the Android System is bound to the service;
74  * for each call, it: binds to service, waits for the reply, and unbinds right away. Furthermore,
75  * those calls are considered stateless: if the service needs to keep state between calls, it must
76  * do its own state management (keeping in mind that the service's process might be killed by the
77  * Android System when unbound; for example, if the device is running low in memory).
78  *
79  * <p>Typically, the
80  * {@link #onFillRequest(FillRequest, CancellationSignal, FillCallback)} will:
81  * <ol>
82  *   <li>Parse the view structure looking for autofillable views (for example, using
83  *       {@link android.app.assist.AssistStructure.ViewNode#getAutofillHints()}.
84  *   <li>Match the autofillable views with the user's data.
85  *   <li>Create a {@link Dataset} for each set of user's data that match those fields.
86  *   <li>Fill the dataset(s) with the proper {@link AutofillId}s and {@link AutofillValue}s.
87  *   <li>Add the dataset(s) to the {@link FillResponse} passed to
88  *       {@link FillCallback#onSuccess(FillResponse)}.
89  * </ol>
90  *
91  * <p>For example, for a login screen with username and password views where the user only has one
92  * account in the service, the response could be:
93  *
94  * <pre class="prettyprint">
95  * new FillResponse.Builder()
96  *     .addDataset(new Dataset.Builder()
97  *         .setValue(id1, AutofillValue.forText("homer"), createPresentation("homer"))
98  *         .setValue(id2, AutofillValue.forText("D'OH!"), createPresentation("password for homer"))
99  *         .build())
100  *     .build();
101  * </pre>
102  *
103  * <p>But if the user had 2 accounts instead, the response could be:
104  *
105  * <pre class="prettyprint">
106  * new FillResponse.Builder()
107  *     .addDataset(new Dataset.Builder()
108  *         .setValue(id1, AutofillValue.forText("homer"), createPresentation("homer"))
109  *         .setValue(id2, AutofillValue.forText("D'OH!"), createPresentation("password for homer"))
110  *         .build())
111  *     .addDataset(new Dataset.Builder()
112  *         .setValue(id1, AutofillValue.forText("flanders"), createPresentation("flanders"))
113  *         .setValue(id2, AutofillValue.forText("OkelyDokelyDo"), createPresentation("password for flanders"))
114  *         .build())
115  *     .build();
116  * </pre>
117  *
118  * <p>If the service does not find any autofillable view in the view structure, it should pass
119  * {@code null} to {@link FillCallback#onSuccess(FillResponse)}; if the service encountered an error
120  * processing the request, it should call {@link FillCallback#onFailure(CharSequence)}. For
121  * performance reasons, it's paramount that the service calls either
122  * {@link FillCallback#onSuccess(FillResponse)} or {@link FillCallback#onFailure(CharSequence)} for
123  * each {@link #onFillRequest(FillRequest, CancellationSignal, FillCallback)} received - if it
124  * doesn't, the request will eventually time out and be discarded by the Android System.
125  *
126  * <a name="SavingUserData"></a>
127  * <h3>Saving user data</h3>
128  *
129  * <p>If the service is also interested on saving the data filled by the user, it must set a
130  * {@link SaveInfo} object in the {@link FillResponse}. See {@link SaveInfo} for more details and
131  * examples.
132  *
133  * <a name="UserAuthentication"></a>
134  * <h3>User authentication</h3>
135  *
136  * <p>The service can provide an extra degree of security by requiring the user to authenticate
137  * before an app can be autofilled. The authentication is typically required in 2 scenarios:
138  * <ul>
139  *   <li>To unlock the user data (for example, using a master password or fingerprint
140  *       authentication) - see
141  * {@link FillResponse.Builder#setAuthentication(AutofillId[], android.content.IntentSender, android.widget.RemoteViews)}.
142  *   <li>To unlock a specific dataset (for example, by providing a CVC for a credit card) - see
143  *       {@link Dataset.Builder#setAuthentication(android.content.IntentSender)}.
144  * </ul>
145  *
146  * <p>When using authentication, it is recommended to encrypt only the sensitive data and leave
147  * labels unencrypted, so they can be used on presentation views. For example, if the user has a
148  * home and a work address, the {@code Home} and {@code Work} labels should be stored unencrypted
149  * (since they don't have any sensitive data) while the address data per se could be stored in an
150  * encrypted storage. Then when the user chooses the {@code Home} dataset, the platform starts
151  * the authentication flow, and the service can decrypt the sensitive data.
152  *
153  * <p>The authentication mechanism can also be used in scenarios where the service needs multiple
154  * steps to determine the datasets that can fill a screen. For example, when autofilling a financial
155  * app where the user has accounts for multiple banks, the workflow could be:
156  *
157  * <ol>
158  *   <li>The first {@link FillResponse} contains datasets with the credentials for the financial
159  *       app, plus a "fake" dataset whose presentation says "Tap here for banking apps credentials".
160  *   <li>When the user selects the fake dataset, the service displays a dialog with available
161  *       banking apps.
162  *   <li>When the user select a banking app, the service replies with a new {@link FillResponse}
163  *       containing the datasets for that bank.
164  * </ol>
165  *
166  * <p>Another example of multiple-steps dataset selection is when the service stores the user
167  * credentials in "vaults": the first response would contain fake datasets with the vault names,
168  * and the subsequent response would contain the app credentials stored in that vault.
169  *
170  * <a name="DataPartioning"></a>
171  * <h3>Data partitioning</h3>
172  *
173  * <p>The autofillable views in a screen should be grouped in logical groups called "partitions".
174  * Typical partitions are:
175  * <ul>
176  *   <li>Credentials (username/email address, password).
177  *   <li>Address (street, city, state, zip code, etc).
178  *   <li>Payment info (credit card number, expiration date, and verification code).
179  * </ul>
180  * <p>For security reasons, when a screen has more than one partition, it's paramount that the
181  * contents of a dataset do not spawn multiple partitions, specially when one of the partitions
182  * contains data that is not specific to the application being autofilled. For example, a dataset
183  * should not contain fields for username, password, and credit card information. The reason for
184  * this rule is that a malicious app could draft a view structure where the credit card fields
185  * are not visible, so when the user selects a dataset from the username UI, the credit card info is
186  * released to the application without the user knowledge. Similarly, it's recommended to always
187  * protect a dataset that contains sensitive information by requiring dataset authentication
188  * (see {@link Dataset.Builder#setAuthentication(android.content.IntentSender)}), and to include
189  * info about the "primary" field of the partition in the custom presentation for "secondary"
190  * fields&mdash;that would prevent a malicious app from getting the "primary" fields without the
191  * user realizing they're being released (for example, a malicious app could have fields for a
192  * credit card number, verification code, and expiration date crafted in a way that just the latter
193  * is visible; by explicitly indicating the expiration date is related to a given credit card
194  * number, the service would be providing a visual clue for the users to check what would be
195  * released upon selecting that field).
196  *
197  * <p>When the service detects that a screen has multiple partitions, it should return a
198  * {@link FillResponse} with just the datasets for the partition that originated the request (i.e.,
199  * the partition that has the {@link android.app.assist.AssistStructure.ViewNode} whose
200  * {@link android.app.assist.AssistStructure.ViewNode#isFocused()} returns {@code true}); then if
201  * the user selects a field from a different partition, the Android System will make another
202  * {@link #onFillRequest(FillRequest, CancellationSignal, FillCallback)} call for that partition,
203  * and so on.
204  *
205  * <p>Notice that when the user autofill a partition with the data provided by the service and the
206  * user did not change these fields, the autofilled value is sent back to the service in the
207  * subsequent calls (and can be obtained by calling
208  * {@link android.app.assist.AssistStructure.ViewNode#getAutofillValue()}). This is useful in the
209  * cases where the service must create datasets for a partition based on the choice made in a
210  * previous partition. For example, the 1st response for a screen that have credentials and address
211  * partitions could be:
212  *
213  * <pre class="prettyprint">
214  * new FillResponse.Builder()
215  *     .addDataset(new Dataset.Builder() // partition 1 (credentials)
216  *         .setValue(id1, AutofillValue.forText("homer"), createPresentation("homer"))
217  *         .setValue(id2, AutofillValue.forText("D'OH!"), createPresentation("password for homer"))
218  *         .build())
219  *     .addDataset(new Dataset.Builder() // partition 1 (credentials)
220  *         .setValue(id1, AutofillValue.forText("flanders"), createPresentation("flanders"))
221  *         .setValue(id2, AutofillValue.forText("OkelyDokelyDo"), createPresentation("password for flanders"))
222  *         .build())
223  *     .setSaveInfo(new SaveInfo.Builder(SaveInfo.SAVE_DATA_TYPE_PASSWORD,
224  *         new AutofillId[] { id1, id2 })
225  *             .build())
226  *     .build();
227  * </pre>
228  *
229  * <p>Then if the user selected {@code flanders}, the service would get a new
230  * {@link #onFillRequest(FillRequest, CancellationSignal, FillCallback)} call, with the values of
231  * the fields {@code id1} and {@code id2} prepopulated, so the service could then fetch the address
232  * for the Flanders account and return the following {@link FillResponse} for the address partition:
233  *
234  * <pre class="prettyprint">
235  * new FillResponse.Builder()
236  *     .addDataset(new Dataset.Builder() // partition 2 (address)
237  *         .setValue(id3, AutofillValue.forText("744 Evergreen Terrace"), createPresentation("744 Evergreen Terrace")) // street
238  *         .setValue(id4, AutofillValue.forText("Springfield"), createPresentation("Springfield")) // city
239  *         .build())
240  *     .setSaveInfo(new SaveInfo.Builder(SaveInfo.SAVE_DATA_TYPE_PASSWORD | SaveInfo.SAVE_DATA_TYPE_ADDRESS,
241  *         new AutofillId[] { id1, id2 }) // username and password
242  *              .setOptionalIds(new AutofillId[] { id3, id4 }) // state and zipcode
243  *             .build())
244  *     .build();
245  * </pre>
246  *
247  * <p>When the service returns multiple {@link FillResponse}, the last one overrides the previous;
248  * that's why the {@link SaveInfo} in the 2nd request above has the info for both partitions.
249  *
250  * <a name="PackageVerification"></a>
251  * <h3>Package verification</h3>
252  *
253  * <p>When autofilling app-specific data (like username and password), the service must verify
254  * the authenticity of the request by obtaining all signing certificates of the app being
255  * autofilled, and only fulfilling the request when they match the values that were
256  * obtained when the data was first saved &mdash; such verification is necessary to avoid phishing
257  * attempts by apps that were sideloaded in the device with the same package name of another app.
258  * Here's an example on how to achieve that by hashing the signing certificates:
259  *
260  * <pre class="prettyprint">
261  * private String getCertificatesHash(String packageName) throws Exception {
262  *   PackageManager pm = mContext.getPackageManager();
263  *   PackageInfo info = pm.getPackageInfo(packageName, PackageManager.GET_SIGNATURES);
264  *   ArrayList<String> hashes = new ArrayList<>(info.signatures.length);
265  *   for (Signature sig : info.signatures) {
266  *     byte[] cert = sig.toByteArray();
267  *     MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
268  *     md.update(cert);
269  *     hashes.add(toHexString(md.digest()));
270  *   }
271  *   Collections.sort(hashes);
272  *   StringBuilder hash = new StringBuilder();
273  *   for (int i = 0; i < hashes.size(); i++) {
274  *     hash.append(hashes.get(i));
275  *   }
276  *   return hash.toString();
277  * }
278  * </pre>
279  *
280  * <p>If the service did not store the signing certificates data the first time the data was saved
281  * &mdash; for example, because the data was created by a previous version of the app that did not
282  * use the Autofill Framework &mdash; the service should warn the user that the authenticity of the
283  * app cannot be confirmed (see an example on how to show such warning in the
284  * <a href="#WebSecurityDisclaimer">Web security</a> section below), and if the user agrees,
285  * then the service could save the data from the signing ceriticates for future use.
286  *
287  * <a name="IgnoringViews"></a>
288  * <h3>Ignoring views</h3>
289  *
290  * <p>If the service find views that cannot be autofilled (for example, a text field representing
291  * the response to a Captcha challenge), it should mark those views as ignored by
292  * calling {@link FillResponse.Builder#setIgnoredIds(AutofillId...)} so the system does not trigger
293  * a new {@link #onFillRequest(FillRequest, CancellationSignal, FillCallback)} when these views are
294  * focused.
295  *
296  * <a name="WebSecurity"></a>
297  * <h3>Web security</h3>
298  *
299  * <p>When handling autofill requests that represent web pages (typically
300  * view structures whose root's {@link android.app.assist.AssistStructure.ViewNode#getClassName()}
301  * is a {@link android.webkit.WebView}), the service should take the following steps to verify if
302  * the structure can be autofilled with the data associated with the app requesting it:
303  *
304  * <ol>
305  *   <li>Use the {@link android.app.assist.AssistStructure.ViewNode#getWebDomain()} to get the
306  *       source of the document.
307  *   <li>Get the canonical domain using the
308  *       <a href="https://publicsuffix.org/">Public Suffix List</a> (see example below).
309  *   <li>Use <a href="https://developers.google.com/digital-asset-links/">Digital Asset Links</a>
310  *       to obtain the package name and certificate fingerprint of the package corresponding to
311  *       the canonical domain.
312  *   <li>Make sure the certificate fingerprint matches the value returned by Package Manager
313  *       (see "Package verification" section above).
314  * </ol>
315  *
316  * <p>Here's an example on how to get the canonical domain using
317  * <a href="https://github.com/google/guava">Guava</a>:
318  *
319  * <pre class="prettyprint">
320  * private static String getCanonicalDomain(String domain) {
321  *   InternetDomainName idn = InternetDomainName.from(domain);
322  *   while (idn != null && !idn.isTopPrivateDomain()) {
323  *     idn = idn.parent();
324  *   }
325  *   return idn == null ? null : idn.toString();
326  * }
327  * </pre>
328  *
329  * <a name="WebSecurityDisclaimer"></a>
330  * <p>If the association between the web domain and app package cannot be verified through the steps
331  * above, but the service thinks that it is appropriate to fill persisted credentials that are
332  * stored for the web domain, the service should warn the user about the potential data
333  * leakage first, and ask for the user to confirm. For example, the service could:
334  *
335  * <ol>
336  *   <li>Create a dataset that requires
337  *       {@link Dataset.Builder#setAuthentication(android.content.IntentSender) authentication} to
338  *       unlock.
339  *   <li>Include the web domain in the custom presentation for the
340  *       {@link Dataset.Builder#setValue(AutofillId, AutofillValue, android.widget.RemoteViews)
341  *       dataset value}.
342  *   <li>When the user selects that dataset, show a disclaimer dialog explaining that the app is
343  *       requesting credentials for a web domain, but the service could not verify if the app owns
344  *       that domain. If the user agrees, then the service can unlock the dataset.
345  *   <li>Similarly, when adding a {@link SaveInfo} object for the request, the service should
346  *       include the above disclaimer in the {@link SaveInfo.Builder#setDescription(CharSequence)}.
347  * </ol>
348  *
349  * <p>This same procedure could also be used when the autofillable data is contained inside an
350  * {@code IFRAME}, in which case the WebView generates a new autofill context when a node inside
351  * the {@code IFRAME} is focused, with the root node containing the {@code IFRAME}'s {@code src}
352  * attribute on {@link android.app.assist.AssistStructure.ViewNode#getWebDomain()}. A typical and
353  * legitimate use case for this scenario is a financial app that allows the user
354  * to login on different bank accounts. For example, a financial app {@code my_financial_app} could
355  * use a WebView that loads contents from {@code banklogin.my_financial_app.com}, which contains an
356  * {@code IFRAME} node whose {@code src} attribute is {@code login.some_bank.com}. When fulfilling
357  * that request, the service could add an
358  * {@link Dataset.Builder#setAuthentication(android.content.IntentSender) authenticated dataset}
359  * whose presentation displays "Username for some_bank.com" and
360  * "Password for some_bank.com". Then when the user taps one of these options, the service
361  * shows the disclaimer dialog explaining that selecting that option would release the
362  * {@code login.some_bank.com} credentials to the {@code my_financial_app}; if the user agrees,
363  * then the service returns an unlocked dataset with the {@code some_bank.com} credentials.
364  *
365  * <p><b>Note:</b> The autofill service could also whitelist well-known browser apps and skip the
366  * verifications above, as long as the service can verify the authenticity of the browser app by
367  * checking its signing certificate.
368  *
369  * <a name="MultipleStepsSave"></a>
370  * <h3>Saving when data is split in multiple screens</h3>
371  *
372  * Apps often split the user data in multiple screens in the same activity, specially in
373  * activities used to create a new user account. For example, the first screen asks for a username,
374  * and if the username is available, it moves to a second screen, which asks for a password.
375  *
376  * <p>It's tricky to handle save for autofill in these situations, because the autofill service must
377  * wait until the user enters both fields before the autofill save UI can be shown. But it can be
378  * done by following the steps below:
379  *
380  * <ol>
381  * <li>In the first
382  * {@link #onFillRequest(FillRequest, CancellationSignal, FillCallback) fill request}, the service
383  * adds a {@link FillResponse.Builder#setClientState(android.os.Bundle) client state bundle} in
384  * the response, containing the autofill ids of the partial fields present in the screen.
385  * <li>In the second
386  * {@link #onFillRequest(FillRequest, CancellationSignal, FillCallback) fill request}, the service
387  * retrieves the {@link FillRequest#getClientState() client state bundle}, gets the autofill ids
388  * set in the previous request from the client state, and adds these ids and the
389  * {@link SaveInfo#FLAG_SAVE_ON_ALL_VIEWS_INVISIBLE} to the {@link SaveInfo} used in the second

391  * <li>In the {@link #onSaveRequest(SaveRequest, SaveCallback) save request}, the service uses the
392  * proper {@link FillContext fill contexts} to get the value of each field (there is one fill
393  * context per fill request).
394  * </ol>
395  *
396  * <p>For example, in an app that uses 2 steps for the username and password fields, the workflow
397  * would be:
398  * <pre class="prettyprint">
399  *  // On first fill request
400  *  AutofillId usernameId = // parse from AssistStructure;
401  *  Bundle clientState = new Bundle();
402  *  clientState.putParcelable("usernameId", usernameId);
403  *  fillCallback.onSuccess(
404  *    new FillResponse.Builder()
405  *        .setClientState(clientState)
406  *        .setSaveInfo(new SaveInfo
407  *             .Builder(SaveInfo.SAVE_DATA_TYPE_USERNAME, new AutofillId[] {usernameId})
408  *             .build())
409  *        .build());
410  *
411  *  // On second fill request
412  *  Bundle clientState = fillRequest.getClientState();
413  *  AutofillId usernameId = clientState.getParcelable("usernameId");
414  *  AutofillId passwordId = // parse from AssistStructure
415  *  clientState.putParcelable("passwordId", passwordId);
416  *  fillCallback.onSuccess(
417  *    new FillResponse.Builder()
418  *        .setClientState(clientState)
419  *        .setSaveInfo(new SaveInfo
420  *             .Builder(SaveInfo.SAVE_DATA_TYPE_USERNAME | SaveInfo.SAVE_DATA_TYPE_PASSWORD,
421  *                      new AutofillId[] {usernameId, passwordId})
422  *             .setFlags(SaveInfo.FLAG_SAVE_ON_ALL_VIEWS_INVISIBLE)
423  *             .build())
424  *        .build());
425  *
426  *  // On save request
427  *  Bundle clientState = saveRequest.getClientState();
428  *  AutofillId usernameId = clientState.getParcelable("usernameId");
429  *  AutofillId passwordId = clientState.getParcelable("passwordId");
430  *  List<FillContext> fillContexts = saveRequest.getFillContexts();
431  *
432  *  FillContext usernameContext = fillContexts.get(0);
433  *  ViewNode usernameNode = findNodeByAutofillId(usernameContext.getStructure(), usernameId);
434  *  AutofillValue username = usernameNode.getAutofillValue().getTextValue().toString();
435  *
436  *  FillContext passwordContext = fillContexts.get(1);
437  *  ViewNode passwordNode = findNodeByAutofillId(passwordContext.getStructure(), passwordId);
438  *  AutofillValue password = passwordNode.getAutofillValue().getTextValue().toString();
439  *
440  *  save(username, password);

443  * <a name="Privacy"></a>
444  * <h3>Privacy</h3>
445  *
446  * <p>The {@link #onFillRequest(FillRequest, CancellationSignal, FillCallback)} method is called
447  * without the user content. The Android system strips some properties of the
448  * {@link android.app.assist.AssistStructure.ViewNode view nodes} passed to this call, but not all
449  * of them. For example, the data provided in the {@link android.view.ViewStructure.HtmlInfo}
450  * objects set by {@link android.webkit.WebView} is never stripped out.
451  *
452  * <p>Because this data could contain PII (Personally Identifiable Information, such as username or
453  * email address), the service should only use it locally (i.e., in the app's process) for
454  * heuristics purposes, but it should not be sent to external servers.
455  *
456  * <a name="FieldClassification"></a>
457  * <h3>Metrics and field classification</h3
458  *
459  * <p>The service can call {@link #getFillEventHistory()} to get metrics representing the user
460  * actions, and then use these metrics to improve its heuristics.
461  *
462  * <p>Prior to Android {@link android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#P}, the metrics covered just the
463  * scenarios where the service knew how to autofill an activity, but Android
464  * {@link android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#P} introduced a new mechanism called field classification,
465  * which allows the service to dinamically classify the meaning of fields based on the existing user
466  * data known by the service.
467  *
468  * <p>Typically, field classification can be used to detect fields that can be autofilled with
469  * user data that is not associated with a specific app&mdash;such as email and physical
470  * address. Once the service identifies that a such field was manually filled by the user, the
471  * service could use this signal to improve its heuristics on subsequent requests (for example, by
472  * infering which resource ids are associated with known fields).
473  *
474  * <p>The field classification workflow involves 4 steps:
475  *
476  * <ol>
477  *   <li>Set the user data through {@link AutofillManager#setUserData(UserData)}. This data is
478  *   cached until the system restarts (or the service is disabled), so it doesn't need to be set for
479  *   all requests.
480  *   <li>Identify which fields should be analysed by calling
481  *   {@link FillResponse.Builder#setFieldClassificationIds(AutofillId...)}.
482  *   <li>Verify the results through {@link FillEventHistory.Event#getFieldsClassification()}.
483  *   <li>Use the results to dynamically create {@link Dataset} or {@link SaveInfo} objects in
484  *   subsequent requests.
485  * </ol>
486  *
487  * <p>The field classification is an expensive operation and should be used carefully, otherwise it
488  * can reach its rate limit and get blocked by the Android System. Ideally, it should be used just
489  * in cases where the service could not determine how an activity can be autofilled, but it has a
490  * strong suspicious that it could. For example, if an activity has four or more fields and one of
491  * them is a list, chances are that these are address fields (like address, city, state, and
492  * zip code).
493  *
494  * <a name="CompatibilityMode"></a>
495  * <h3>Compatibility mode</h3>
496  *
497  * <p>Apps that use standard Android widgets support autofill out-of-the-box and need to do
498  * very little to improve their user experience (annotating autofillable views and providing
499  * autofill hints). However, some apps (typically browsers) do their own rendering and the rendered
500  * content may contain semantic structure that needs to be surfaced to the autofill framework. The
501  * platform exposes APIs to achieve this, however it could take some time until these apps implement
502  * autofill support.
503  *
504  * <p>To enable autofill for such apps the platform provides a compatibility mode in which the
505  * platform would fall back to the accessibility APIs to generate the state reported to autofill
506  * services and fill data. This mode needs to be explicitly requested for a given package up
507  * to a specified max version code allowing clean migration path when the target app begins to
508  * support autofill natively. Note that enabling compatibility may degrade performance for the
509  * target package and should be used with caution. The platform supports whitelisting which packages
510  * can be targeted in compatibility mode to ensure this mode is used only when needed and as long
511  * as needed.
512  *
513  * <p>You can request compatibility mode for packages of interest in the meta-data resource
514  * associated with your service. Below is a sample service declaration:
515  *
516  * <pre> &lt;service android:name=".MyAutofillService"
517  *              android:permission="android.permission.BIND_AUTOFILL_SERVICE"&gt;
518  *     &lt;intent-filter&gt;
519  *         &lt;action android:name="android.service.autofill.AutofillService" /&gt;
520  *     &lt;/intent-filter&gt;
521  *     &lt;meta-data android:name="android.autofill" android:resource="@xml/autofillservice" /&gt;
522  * &lt;/service&gt;</pre>
523  *
524  * <p>In the XML file you can specify one or more packages for which to enable compatibility
525  * mode. Below is a sample meta-data declaration:
526  *
527  * <pre> &lt;autofill-service xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
528  *     &lt;compatibility-package android:name="foo.bar.baz" android:maxLongVersionCode="1000000000"/&gt;
529  * &lt;/autofill-service&gt;</pre>
530  *
531  * <p>Notice that compatibility mode has limitations such as:
532  * <ul>
533  * <li>No manual autofill requests. Hence, the {@link FillRequest}
534  * {@link FillRequest#getFlags() flags} never have the {@link FillRequest#FLAG_MANUAL_REQUEST} flag.
535  * <li>The value of password fields are most likely masked&mdash;for example, {@code ****} instead
536  * of {@code 1234}. Hence, you must be careful when using these values to avoid updating the user
537  * data with invalid input. For example, when you parse the {@link FillRequest} and detect a
538  * password field, you could check if its
539  * {@link android.app.assist.AssistStructure.ViewNode#getInputType()
540  * input type} has password flags and if so, don't add it to the {@link SaveInfo} object.
541  * <li>The autofill context is not always {@link AutofillManager#commit() committed} when an HTML
542  * form is submitted. Hence, you must use other mechanisms to trigger save, such as setting the
543  * {@link SaveInfo#FLAG_SAVE_ON_ALL_VIEWS_INVISIBLE} flag on {@link SaveInfo.Builder#setFlags(int)}
544  * or using {@link SaveInfo.Builder#setTriggerId(AutofillId)}.
545  * <li>Browsers often provide their own autofill management system. When both the browser and
546  * the platform render an autofill dialog at the same time, the result can be confusing to the user.
547  * Such browsers typically offer an option for users to disable autofill, so your service should
548  * also allow users to disable compatiblity mode for specific apps. That way, it is up to the user
549  * to decide which autofill mechanism&mdash;the browser's or the platform's&mdash;should be used.
550  * </ul>
