Property getter documentation:

Java documentation for android.view.View.getImportantForAutofill().

Property setter documentation:

Sets the mode for determining whether this view is considered important for autofill.

The platform determines the importance for autofill automatically but you can use this method to customize the behavior. For example:

<ol> <li>When the view contents is irrelevant for autofill (for example, a text field used in a "Captcha" challenge), it should be #IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO. <li>When both the view and its children are irrelevant for autofill (for example, the root view of an activity containing a spreadhseet editor), it should be #IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS. <li>When the view content is relevant for autofill but its children aren't (for example, a credit card expiration date represented by a custom view that overrides the proper autofill methods and has 2 children representing the month and year), it should be #IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_YES_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS. </ol>

<b>Note:</b> Setting the mode as #IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO or #IMPORTANT_FOR_AUTOFILL_NO_EXCLUDE_DESCENDANTS does not guarantee the view (and its children) will not be used for autofill purpose; for example, when the user explicitly makes an autofill request, all views are included in the ViewStructure, and starting in android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE the system uses other factors along with importance to determine the autofill behavior. See #isImportantForAutofill() for more details about how the View's importance for autofill is used.
