Is fingerprint supported in Android devices?

Question

I want to know if I can develop an application that users touch the screen and their fingerprint are registered. If it is possible, is there any library to store and retrieve and detect finger prints?

Answer 1

i do not think that exists yet.

Answer 2

This is not possible, current consumer touch screens cannot 'see' with that level of detail. You might have more luck using the camera but I don't know of any projects that have done this before.

Paid SDK but we can use it with trial

Answer 4

Looks like it is now part of Android 6.0.

Answer 5

Came across this http://www.diamondfortress.com/sdk. It's a paid SDK and it uses camera. But I have not personally tried it out.
