FingerprintManagerCompat

public class FingerprintManagerCompat
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ androidx.core.hardware.fingerprint.FingerprintManagerCompat

This class is deprecated.
Use androidx.biometrics.BiometricPrompt instead.

A class that coordinates access to the fingerprint hardware.

On platforms before Build.VERSION_CODES.M, this class behaves as there would be no fingerprint hardware available.

Summary

Nested classes

class FingerprintManagerCompat.AuthenticationCallback

Callback structure provided to FingerprintManagerCompat.authenticate(CryptoObject, int, CancellationSignal, AuthenticationCallback, Handler). 

class FingerprintManagerCompat.AuthenticationResult

Container for callback data from FingerprintManagerCompat.authenticate(CryptoObject, int, CancellationSignal, AuthenticationCallback, Handler). 

class FingerprintManagerCompat.CryptoObject

A wrapper class for the crypto objects supported by FingerprintManager. 

Public methods

void authenticate(FingerprintManagerCompat.CryptoObject crypto, int flags, CancellationSignal cancel, FingerprintManagerCompat.AuthenticationCallback callback, Handler handler)

Request authentication of a crypto object.

static FingerprintManagerCompat from(Context context)

Get a FingerprintManagerCompat instance for a provided context.

boolean hasEnrolledFingerprints()

Determine if there is at least one fingerprint enrolled.

boolean isHardwareDetected()

Determine if fingerprint hardware is present and functional.

Inherited methods

Public methods

authenticate

public void authenticate (FingerprintManagerCompat.CryptoObject crypto, 
                int flags, 
                CancellationSignal cancel, 
                FingerprintManagerCompat.AuthenticationCallback callback, 
                Handler handler)

Request authentication of a crypto object. This call warms up the fingerprint hardware and starts scanning for a fingerprint. It terminates when FingerprintManagerCompat.AuthenticationCallback.onAuthenticationError(int, CharSequence) or FingerprintManagerCompat.AuthenticationCallback.onAuthenticationSucceeded(AuthenticationResult) is called, at which point the object is no longer valid. The operation can be canceled by using the provided cancel object.

Requires the USE_FINGERPRINT permission.

Parameters
crypto FingerprintManagerCompat.CryptoObject: object associated with the call or null if none required.
flags int: optional flags; should be 0
cancel CancellationSignal: an object that can be used to cancel authentication
callback FingerprintManagerCompat.AuthenticationCallback: an object to receive authentication events
handler Handler: an optional handler for events

from
