[Android.Runtime.Register("getInstance", "(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/security/Provider;)Ljava/security/MessageDigest;", "")]
public static Java.Security.MessageDigest GetInstance (string algorithm, Java.Security.Provider provider);
[<Android.Runtime.Register("getInstance", "(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/security/Provider;)Ljava/security/MessageDigest;", "")>]
static member GetInstance : string * Java.Security.Provider -> Java.Security.MessageDigest
Parameters
- algorithm
- String
the name of the algorithm requested. See the MessageDigest section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.
- provider
- Provider
the provider.
Returns
a MessageDigest
object that implements the
specified algorithm
- Attributes
Exceptions
if the specified algorithm is not available
if algorithm
is null
if provider == null
Remarks
Returns a MessageDigest object that implements the specified digest algorithm.
A new MessageDigest object encapsulating the MessageDigestSpi implementation from the specified Provider object is returned. Note that the specified Provider object does not have to be registered in the provider list.

static member GetInstance : string * string -> Java.Security.MessageDigest
Parameters
- algorithm
- String
the name of the algorithm requested. See the MessageDigest section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.
- provider
- String
the name of the provider.
Returns
a MessageDigest
object that implements the
specified algorithm
- Attributes
Exceptions
if the specified algorithm is not available
if the specified provider is not available
if algorithm
is null
if provider == null || provider.isEmpty()
Remarks
Returns a MessageDigest object that implements the specified digest algorithm.
A new MessageDigest object encapsulating the MessageDigestSpi implementation from the specified provider is returned. The specified provider must be registered in the security provider list.
Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the Security#getProviders() Security.getProviders()
method.

Remarks
Returns a MessageDigest object that implements the specified digest algorithm.
This method traverses the list of registered security Providers, starting with the most preferred Provider. A new MessageDigest object encapsulating the MessageDigestSpi implementation from the first Provider that supports the specified algorithm is returned.
Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the Security#getProviders() Security.getProviders()
method.
