Autofill Manager

The Tizen Autofill framework allows one or more autofill services to be installed on a Tizen device. Autofill Manager is a module for managing the installed autofill services. Application developers can use Autofill Manager to get the current autofill service or change the autofill service.

The main features of the Autofill Manager API include:

Prerequisites

  1. To use the Autofill Manager API (in mobile and wearable applications), the application has to request permission by adding the following privilege to the tizen-manifest.xml file:

    <privileges>
   <privilege>http://tizen.org/privilege/autofillmanager</privilege>
</privileges>

  2. To use the functions and data types of the Autofill Manager API, include the <autofill_manager.h> header file in your application:

    #include <autofill_manager.h>

Initialization

  1. To use the Autofill Manager library in your application you must create an Autofill Manager handle. The Autofill Manager handle is used by other Autofill Manager functions as a parameter:

    void
create_autofill_manager_handle()
{
    autofill_manager_h amh;
    int ret;
    ret = autofill_manager_create(&amh);
    if (ret != AUTOFILL_ERROR_NONE)
        /* Error handling */
}

  2. After you create the Autofill Manager handle, connect the background autofill daemon with the autofill_manager_connect() function. The function is asynchronous and you can get the result with callback function that registered as the second parameter of autofill_manager_connect():

    static void manager_connection_status_changed_cb(autofill_manager_h amh, autofill_manager_connection_status_e status, void *user_data)
{
    switch (status) {
    case AUTOFILL_MANAGER_CONNECTION_STATUS_CONNECTED:
        dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "connected");
        break;
    case AUTOFILL_MANAGER_CONNECTION_STATUS_DISCONNECTED:
        dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "disconnected");
        break;
    case AUTOFILL_MANAGER_CONNECTION_STATUS_REJECTED:
        dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "rejected");
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

void
connect_autofill_daemon(autofill_manager_h amh)
{
    int ret;
    ret = autofill_manager_connect(amh, manager_connection_status_changed_cb, NULL);
    if (ret != AUTOFILL_ERROR_NONE)
        /* Error handling */
}

    You can use the Autofill Manager functions after receiving AUTOFILL_MANAGER_CONNECTION_STATUS_CONNECTED in manager_connection_status_changed_cb().

Get Installed Autofill Service List

To get the installed autofill service list:

  1. Create a callback function using the autofill_service_info_cb() function, which is invoked for each installed autofill service application and used to access Autofill service information:

    #include <app_manager.h>

static bool autofill_service_info_cb(const char* app_id, void* user_data)
{
    app_info_h app_h;
    char *label = NULL;

    app_info_create(app_id, &app_h);
    app_info_get_label(app_h, &label);

    dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "app id : %s, label : %s", app_id, label);

    if (label)
        free(label);

    app_info_destroy(app_h);

    return true;
}

  2. Get the installed autofill service by invoking a callback function for each installed autofill service with the autofill_manager_foreach_autofill_service() function:

     ret = autofill_manager_foreach_autofill_service(amh, autofill_service_info_cb, NULL);
 if (AUTOFILL_ERROR_NONE != ret)
     /* Error handling */

Retrieve Current Autofill Service

To get the application ID of the current used autofill service, use the autofill_manager_get_autofill_service() function:

void get_autofill_service(autofill_manager_h amh)
{
    char *active_autofill_service_app_id = NULL;
    int ret = autofill_manager_get_autofill_service(g_amh, &active_autofill_service_app_id);
    if (AUTOFILL_ERROR_NONE == ret) {
        dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "app id : %s", active_autofill_service_app_id);
        if (active_autofill_service_app_id)
            free(active_autofill_service_app_id);
    }
}

Change Autofill Service

To change autofill service to the other, use the autofill_manager_set_autofill_service() function:

void set_autofill_service(autofill_manager_h amh, const char *autofill_service_app_id)
{
    dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "index : %d", index);

    int ret = autofill_manager_set_autofill_service(amh, autofill_service_app_id);
    if (ret != AUTOFILL_ERROR_NONE)
           /* Error handling */
}

Release Resources

After you have finished working with the Autofill Manager library, destroy the Autofill Manager handle:

void
destroy_autofill_manager_handle(autofill_manager_h amh)
{
    int ret;

    ret = autofill_manager_destroy(amh);
    if (ret != AUTOFILL_ERROR_NONE)
        /* Error handling */
}

Note

You must not use the autofill_manager_destroy() function in a callback function.
