GetCredentialRequest


public final class GetCredentialRequest


Encapsulates a request to get a user credential.

An application can construct such a request by adding one or more types of CredentialOption, and then call CredentialManager.getCredential to launch framework UI flows to allow the user to consent to using a previously saved credential for the given application.
