Fill inputs in Android WebView with Autofill framework?

Question

In our Android app login screen implemented as web-page opened in WebView. There are login/password inputs at that page - I want to fill them using Autofill framework (i.e with Bitwarden app).

In other apps/web-pages there is always popup from Bitwarden saying these fields could be autocompleted. This popup never appears in our login web-page.

What I have to do, to fill WebView inputs with Autofill? Some specific WebView settings? Or maybe input html tags must have some sort of hint for Autofill framework?

You're right, you ought to update the html tags, especially inputType or type, idEntry, hint etc. Because for native apps, autofill framework provides the AssistStructure which includes the form-field data, but for webViews, developer has to provide appropriate autocomplete hints to be able to be identified by the autofill provider app like Bitwarden.
