Mobile: Android inline autofill

[w0ken]

Describe the Bug

The login information doesn't show up on Gboard's suggestion strip.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Have the latest available versions of all the apps (Bitwarden, Bromite, Element, Firefox, Fennec Firefox, Gboard, Vanadium, etc. ).
2. Open the website/app you wish to log in to.
3. Tap on either the username (or password) login field.

Expected Result

Login information should be on the suggestion bar.

Actual Result

Suggestion strip shows he default items, the ones that are present when typing in other apps.
Clearing data, reinstalling, using different app settings in both Bitwarden and Gboard or rebooting device don't solve the issue.

Hi @w0ken , I've compared your log with a device where the inline presentation is working. There are two events that are missing from yours, though they may have just been excluded from your paste so it may be worth checking again.. (This is with the latest GBoard and Chrome running on a Pixel 4a with factory ROM)

2020-11-21 17:25:16.946 3259-3259/? V/InlinePresentationRendererServiceImpl: onRenderSuggestion: width=-2, height=-2
2020-11-21 17:25:16.950 3259-3259/? V/InlineSuggestionRenderService: width=-2, height=-2, measuredSize=594x121

Since your screenshot shows the default popup showing, that could mean one of two things:

1) "Use Inline Autofill" is disabled in Bitwarden's autofill settings, or
2) Some part of the dependency chain for inline presentations has failed resulting in a fallback to the popup (IME failed to provide inline suggestion, ROM failed to transfer inline suggestion to us, we failed to create inline request, or ROM failed to deliver our inline request back to the IME).

Graphene OS is the unknown here. I would suggest testing with another app that uses inline autofill to see if it works, then we'll go from there.

The inline option is enabled. I also tried with the accessibility popup option disabled. Still didn't work.
I'm trying to find another app that provides inline autofill but google search isn't helping much. In the meantime, here's a bigger logcat.

edit: I've gone into the developer options menu and enabled verbose logging level for autofill

Hi, I am experiencing the same problem Pixel 4, Android 11, gboard and firefox everything up to date. The inline suggestion is not proposed for all sites. Moreover in some apps I do not have the inline suggestion nor the pop-up (for example with the disney + app). The four options for auto fill are all enabled and battery optimization for bitwarden is disabled. Happy to provide more information.

I did some extra testing. The inline autofill is provided when using Chrome and not with Firefox on some specific sites. If interested one of the sites I am having the issue is hockeymanager.ch/login.

Firefox version is 83.1.0, Bitwarden 2.7.0, Gboard 10.0.02.338070508-release-arm64-v8a

For the disney + app version is 1.11.2 (in this app I do not have the popup neither the inline).

I have absolutely same problem with @heiserhorn.
Sometimes inline auto fill works but mostly not :(
Xperia XZ1 Lineageos 18 Android 11
Latest firefox beta(84.0.0-beta.4)
Latest gboard(version 10.0.02.338070508-release-arm64-v8a)

Example website for me: Hepsiburada.com

I can provide logs if you guys want.

I also have problems using Inline Autofill on Android 11. I have it enabled on Bitwarden settings, I'm using gboard on Chrome. Usually the autofill works immediately when I open Chrome but fails later on the same site. Failure here means I don't get any entries in the suggestion strip. Closing and reopening Chrome usually helps.

Currently autofill is basically unusable and unreliable. I don't know what is causing this issue: Bitwarden or some other component/app.

Bitwarden 2.7.0 (3258)
Premium account
Chrome 87.0.4280.101
gBoard 10.0.02.338070508-release-amd64-v8a
Android 11/Samsung OneUI 3.0.

I'll provide more info if it helps.

There was an issue on Chrome's end that is fixed in Chrome Dev and Chrome Canary.

Ok! Could it be related to my case also? So it is broken on Chrome 87 but fixed on 89? Do you happen to have a link to the issue or fix?

I tested a bit more. On Android Firefox the inline autofill works a lot better. Still not 100% reliable (sometimes no autofill option is offered at all) but a lot better than on Chrome.
