Google Play pre-launch reports - resource name

Question

How I should provide id of EditText for filling credentials for pre-launch reports on Google Play (Beta/Alpha versions of the app)? I tried @+id/editTextLogin, editTextLogin, R.id.editTextLogin and always get description "wrong resource name".

What is correct schema for resource name there?

Have you figured it out - could you please provide a working example as I'm struggling with the same issue. — Michał Schielmann, Dec 06 '17 at 10:46

As information icon says:

The Android resource name of the text field within your app where the given username should be entered.

AND Android Resources documentations says:

<resource name> is either the resource filename without the extension or the android:name attribute value in the XML element (for simple values).

So in your case editTextLogin will go in that field.

I would like to share my case as it is quite different than normal sign-in:

It is quite similar to Google sign-in. I am asking for username first and after validating it, on next fragment I am showing his/her name and designation and asking for password.

For above scenario I used two fragments. In Username fragment I kept one EditText with resource name username and next Button with resource name login and in other fragment (Password fragment) I used EditText with resource name password and again one Button with resource name login.

And this is how I provided my credentials:

Example Username field:

<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
    android:id="@+id/username"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Example Password field:

<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
    android:id="@+id/password"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="textPassword" />

Example Login button:

<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatButton
    android:id="@+id/login"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="8dp" />

EDIT

Reference of new Google Play Store console

Are you suggesting that we need to insert `android:name` into the XML of these `EditText`? As poster stated, he attempted to use `id`. Clearly, the "Pre-launch report " page is very strange, asking for "resource name" when we never usually name views in layout. – androidguy Sep 22 '17 at 21:11
Perhaps you could have included the XML for one or more of the related views for clarity. – androidguy Sep 22 '17 at 21:13
Yes, value of the android:id – Omkar Sep 23 '17 at 08:28
Where do you get Android:Id ? – Gavin Stevens Mar 15 '18 at 19:34
@GavinStevens in your login layout xml. – Omkar Oct 02 '20 at 18:53

@Omkar What should we consider for a flutter app? – Purvik Rana Nov 11 '20 at 13:18
@PurvikRana I think that for flutter is enough with key property in textField> Ex: key: const Key('username'), – Amn Dec 18 '22 at 10:41
Definitely would be willing to give it a try. – Purvik Rana Jun 30 '23 at 11:56
