Hardcoding Username and Password into AuthenticationView

Question

I have this

AuthenticationView {

anchors.fill: parent

authenticationManager: AuthenticationManager

}

I would like to declare a username and password for a map service without the need of asking the user for a password.

I tried declaring credentials:

'{"username": "user","password": "pass"}'

but that failed as well...I can't find any documentation on how exactly authenticationManager operates.

authenticationManager: AuthenticationManager

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you ever find a better way of doing this?

It seems AuthenticationView.qml has been updated in Toolkit and is no longer compatible with your solution.  However I did find the right version in the Token Authentication sample.

So since no one has answered this question I found a backwards work around for it. The directory C:\Users\\Applications\ArcGIS\AppStudio\bin\qml\Esri\ArcGISRuntime\Toolkit contains files, AuthenticationView.qml and AuthenticationView20.qml in both of these files I changed the lines(they are very the same) if (Number(challenge.authenticationChallengeType) === 1) { // ArcGIS token, HTTP Basic/Digest, IWA createView("UserCredentialsView.qml"); } else if (Number(challenge.authenticationChallengeType) === 2) { // OAuth 2 createView("OAuth2View.qml"); } else if (Number(challenge.authenticationChallengeType) === 3) { // Client Certificate createView("ClientCertificateView.qml"); } else if (Number(challenge.authenticationChallengeType) === 4) { // SSL Handshake - Self-signed certificate createView("SslHandshakeView.qml"); } I changed the first if statement to(making sure to remove createView() or comment it out.) if (Number(challenge.authenticationChallengeType) === 1) { if (challenge) challenge.continueWithUsernamePassword('username', 'password'); // ArcGIS token, HTTP Basic/Digest, IWA //createView("UserCredentialsView.qml"); } } Now to make sure you project gets built in with it copy the directory C:\Users\\Applications\ArcGIS\AppStudio\bin\qml\Esri\ArcGISRuntime\Toolkit to the project root of your folder and then call import "ArcGISRuntime/Toolkit/Dialogs" within your qml file and the finally invoke as you would AuthenticationView { anchors.fill: parent authenticationManager: AuthenticationManager // set the authenticationManager property } which will call everything with a hard coded username and password. This is kind of a backwards way of doing it. If anyone has a cleaner solution I'd much appreciate it. The documentation for qml and for AuthenticationManager is poor.
