Android FingerPrint API isHardwareDetected returns false for Samsung Note 4

I am trying to implement FingerPrint Scanner in my app.

I followed below tutorial: http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/An_Android_Fingerprint_Authentication_Tutorial

In Samsung Note 4, FingerPrintManager's isHardwareDetected() is returned as false even though I successfully registered two fingerprints from Settings.

Does anyone of you know what might be the reason? Thanks.

Solution

  • I'm afraid the Note 4 doesn't support the Fingerprint API (just the Samsung Fingerprint). You should try your code with another device if possible.
