Samsung galaxy note 4 fingerprint not found

I am working on an app where I use fingerprint. Everything seems to be good but when I debug my app, 

fingerprintManager.isHardwareDetected()

returns false. Why?

FingerprintManager fingerprintManager = (FingerprintManager) getSystemService(FINGERPRINT_SERVICE);

if(!fingerprintManager.isHardwareDetected()){
    textView.setText("Your Device does not have a Fingerprint Sensor");
}

I have read some answers on Stack Vverflow that there is a problem with the Note4 fingerprint - it is an old phone and it does not support the FingerprintManager. Is this the problem? Is there any workaround?

Thank you!

Solution

  • Note4 don't support Android Fingerprint API.

    You have to use Samsung proprietary PASS SDK: http://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/pass
