androidx.compose.ui.autofill

fun ContentType(contentHint: String): ContentType

Create a custom ContentType with contentHint.

This creates a ContentType with the parameter contentHint passed in. This API can be used if the Autofill hint is not present in the list of contentTypes provided by Compose.

For example, ContentType(androidx.autofill.HintConstants.AUTOFILL_HINT_FLIGHT_CONFIRMATION_CODE) can be used to create a new flight confirmation code hint.

fun Modifier.contentType(contentType: ContentType): Modifier

Set autofill hint with contentType.

This applies the contentType to the modifier's semantics, in turn enabling autofill and marking the hint to be associated with this composable. This allows autofill frameworks to provide relevant suggestions to users.

Using contentType is equivalent to simply setting the contentType semantic property, i.e. Modifier.contentType(ContentType.NewUsername) is equivalent to setting Modifier.semantics { contentType = ContentType.NewUsername }.
