I am developing an autofill service, it is working well if i use simple remote views for suggestions. If i click on one of the remote views suggested, it fill the input of my external application. And i still get suggestion whenever i click on the input. So my autofill service keeps working.

However if i add some button to remote views, and i click on that button, i no longer get any suggestions from my autofill service. Its like the autofill service is no longer working.

Here is my autoFillRequest funtion, using pending intent.

@Override
    public void onFillRequest(FillRequest request, CancellationSignal cancellationSignal, FillCallback callback) {
        RemoteViews remoteViews = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.autofill_suggestion_interactive);
        remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.value, "Suggested Text");
        remoteViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.icon, R.drawable.ic_autofill);

        Intent intent = new Intent(this, ButtonActionReceiver.class);
        intent.putExtra("EXTRA_INFO", "Additional Info");
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE);

        remoteViews.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.action_button, pendingIntent);

        Dataset dataset = new Dataset.Builder(remoteViews)
            .setValue(findViewById(R.id.autofill_field).getAutofillId(), AutofillValue.forText("Suggested Text"))
            .build();

        FillResponse response = new FillResponse.Builder()
            .addDataset(dataset)
            .build();

        callback.onSuccess(response);
    }

And this is the button action receiver:

@Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String data = intent.getStringExtra("EXTRA_INFO");
        AutoDataset dataset =  new Gson().fromJson(data, AutoDataset.class);
        Log.e("ButtonActionReceiver", "info: " + dataset.getPackageName());
        Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, FloatingDialogService.class);
        serviceIntent.putExtra("EXTRA_DATA", data);
        context.startService(serviceIntent);
    }

this opens me a floating dialog where i need to put some text, do some execution, and then close it.

After closing the floating popup, i need to get the autofill suggestions again, but i no longer have them.

I tried to request the autofill again manually, but it doesn’t work.

Below is my approach to call manually the autofill service again:

From my floating popup i am calling a broadcast like this:

                Intent fillRequestIntent = new Intent("my request to autofill again");
                sendBroadcast(fillRequestIntent);
                stopSelf(); // Stop the service and remove the floating view

And my broadcast receiver is like this:

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { 
        if (intent != null && "my request to autofill again".equals(intent.getAction())) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Received new fill request broadcast");
            AutoFillServiceImpl myAutofillService = new AutoFillServiceImpl();
            myAutofillService.requestNewFill();

        }
    }

Below is the implementation of the requestNewFill function in my autofill service:

    @Override
    public void onConnected() {
        super.onConnected();
        AppLog.e(TAG, "Autofill Service connected");
    }

    public void requestNewFill() {
        AppLog.e(TAG, "Request New Fill");
        onCreate();
        onConnected();
    }

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        AppLog.e(TAG, "Autofill Service created");
        mAutoPreferences = AutoPreferences.getInstance(this);
        mUserId = (int) mAutoPreferences.getUserId();
        mDatabaseHelper = new DatabaseHelper(this);

    }

So, how i can fix that, to get the autofill suggestions again ?
