Fingerprint reader not detected when using Android 6.0 Fingerprint API on Samsung S5

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

  • Screen lock secured by fingerprints
  • I have 2 fingerprints registered in the fingerprint manager
  • My S5 has been updated to android 6.0
  • The fingerprint scanner is working fine, I use it to unlock my phone
  • I can't find anything to do with fingerprints in security settings (it was said to allow apps to have fingerprint access here but not on it)

The App Info of each app says: Permissions: No permissions, however each of the sample app has been verified to ask for permission ... However, I have not seen the request pop up

I have tried google fingerprint reader authentication Sample app and I also tried this app

Any idea on what the problem might be?

You are using Android FingerPrint API which is not supported by your Samsung device. You need to use the FingerPrint Authentication SDK there, which is an SDK transfer. Check this Pass SDK link .

In the AndroidManifest.xml file.



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

Hope for this help.
