Fingerprint scanner not detected when using Androi

Question

Androids 6.0 Fingerprint API cannot detect my fingerprint scanner on Samsung S5.

• Screen lock is secured with fingerprints
• I've 2 Fingerprints registered in fingerprint manager
• My S5 is updated to android 6.0
• The fingerprint scanner is working fine, I use it to unlock my phone
• I cannot find anything to do with fingerprints in the Security Settings (Was told to allow Apps to have access to fingerprint here, but its not on it)

In App Info of each app, is says Permissions: No Permissions Requested however in each of the sample app's ive tried it meantions they do request permission...However I haven't seen the request pop up

I've tried the google fingerprint scanner authentication Sample App and I've also tried this app

Any idea's on what could to be the problem?

Answer 1

You are using FingerPrint API of Android which is not supported by Samsung Device.You have to use there SDK for FingerPrint Authentication which is Pass SDK.Check this link of Pass SDK.

In the AndroidManifest.xml File.

 <uses-permission android:name="com.samsung.android.providers.context.permission.WRITE_USE_APP_FEATURE_SURVEY" />

Hope this help.
