abstract member UpdateCredentials : Android.Accounts.Account * string * Android.OS.Bundle * Android.App.Activity * Android.Accounts.IAccountManagerCallback * Android.OS.Handler -> Android.Accounts.IAccountManagerFuture

Parameters

account: Account

The account to update credentials for

authTokenType: String

The credentials entered must allow an auth token of this type to be created (but no actual auth token is returned); may be null

options: Bundle

Authenticator-specific options for the request; may be null or empty

activity: Activity

The Activity context to use for launching a new authenticator-defined sub-Activity to prompt the user to enter a password; used only to call startActivity(); if null, the prompt will not be launched directly, but the necessary Intent will be returned to the caller instead

callback: IAccountManagerCallback

Callback to invoke when the request completes, null for no callback

handler: Handler

Handler identifying the callback thread, null for the main thread

Returns

IAccountManagerFuture

An AccountManagerFuture which resolves to a Bundle with these fields if an activity was supplied and the account credentials were successfully updated: <ul> <li> #KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME - the name of the account <li> #KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE - the type of the account </ul>

        If no activity was specified, the returned Bundle contains
        <code data-dev-comment-type="c">#KEY_INTENT</code> with the <code data-dev-comment-type="c">Intent</code> needed to launch the
        password prompt. If an error occurred,
        <code data-dev-comment-type="c">AccountManagerFuture#getResult()</code> throws:
        &lt;ul&gt;
        &lt;li&gt; <code data-dev-comment-type="c">AuthenticatorException</code> if the authenticator failed to respond
        &lt;li&gt; <code data-dev-comment-type="c">OperationCanceledException</code> if the operation was canceled for
             any reason, including the user canceling the password prompt
        &lt;li&gt; <code data-dev-comment-type="c">IOException</code> if the authenticator experienced an I/O problem
             verifying the password, usually because of network trouble
        &lt;/ul&gt;

Attributes: RegisterAttribute RequiresPermissionAttribute

Remarks

Asks the user to enter a new password for an account, updating the saved credentials for the account. Normally this happens automatically when the server rejects credentials during an auth token fetch, but this can be invoked directly to ensure we have the correct credentials stored.

This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture must not be used on the main thread.

<b>NOTE:</b> If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, MANAGE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
