How to build an app supporting 1Password?

Hi, I'm an Android Developer
I found my company's app doesn't support 1Password well, so I do some tests.
I build an app like below

with layout xml
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/emailEditText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:autofillHints="username"
    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/passwordEditText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:autofillHints="password"
    android:inputType="textPassword"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/emailEditText" />


```
This is my 1Password settings for this app

Even though I have set the autofillHints for emailEditText to "username", 1Password still cannot autofill the field.
But passwordEditText works

And only fill passwordEditText

When I change first EditText's id from emailEditText to usernameEditText, it works perfectly
````
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/usernameEditText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:autofillHints="username"
    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/passwordEditText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:autofillHints="password"
    android:inputType="textPassword"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/usernameEditText" />


````

I'm not sure why it's based on the View's ID instead of the autofillHints.

And I do another test, I adding an EditText which id is emailEditText like below
```

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/userNameEditText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:autofillHints="username"
    android:inputType="text"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/passwordEditText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:autofillHints="password"
    android:inputType="textPassword"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/userNameEditText" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/emailEditText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:autofillHints="emailAddress"
    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/passwordEditText" />


```

Both userNameEditText and emailEditText are not working

Do I miss something? Thanks~

    By adding android:importantForAutofill="yes", layout xml is
    ```
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

    <EditText
    android:id="@+id/emailEditText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:autofillHints="username"
    android:importantForAutofill="yes"
    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/passwordEditText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="150dp"
    android:autofillHints="password"
    android:importantForAutofill="yes"
    android:inputType="textPassword"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/emailEditText" />

    Hi aids61517! Thanks for reaching out. Looking at your XML I don't see any reason why we wouldn't be filling, and you're right that changing the id attribute for the field shouldn't have any effect.

    That said, if no value is set for android:importantForAutofill, the system will try to determine if the field is important for Autofill based on heuristics. I wonder if that's the case here, and it's simply determining it's not important based on the value of the field's id. Could you please try setting the following:

    android:importantForAutofill="yes"

    Let me know if that helps!
