Class Overview

A class that coordinates access to the fingerprint hardware.

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

Summary

Nested Classes
class FingerprintManagerCompat.AuthenticationCallback Callback structure provided to authenticate(CryptoObject, int, CancellationSignal, AuthenticationCallback, Handler)
class FingerprintManagerCompat.AuthenticationResult Container for callback data from 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.

Public Methods

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 onAuthenticationError(int, CharSequence) or {@link AuthenticationCallback#onAuthenticationSucceeded(AuthenticationResult) is called, at which point the object is no longer valid.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.

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

public static FingerprintManagerCompat from (Context context)

Get a FingerprintManagerCompat instance for a provided context.

public boolean hasEnrolledFingerprints ()

Determine if there is at least one fingerprint enrolled.

Returns
  • true if at least one fingerprint is enrolled, false otherwise

public boolean isHardwareDetected ()

Determine if fingerprint hardware is present and functional.

Returns
  • true if hardware is present and functional, false otherwise.
