How it works

Prerequisite

The Android device must have at least one fingerprint enrolled.

Follow these steps, in Android: 1. Go to “Settings”. 2. Then “Security”. 3. Then “Fingerprint”. 4. Then click on “Add fingerprint” and use the Biometric widget to configure one finger.

Here is a quick video showing the whole procedure.

Widget usage

The Biometric widget simulates fingerprint recognition.

Click to open the widget window:

The icons become available when fingerprint enrollment starts in Android. At this moment, biometric authentication currently requested will turn to True.

Then, you will be able to click on one of the icons to simulate the following scenarios:

• Recognized: the fingerprint is matched and recognized.
• Unrecognized: the fingerprint is not matched nor recognized.
• Dirty: the fingerprint is dirty.
• Partial: only part of the fingerprint is matched.
• Insufficient: the fingerprint quality is not good enough to be recognized.
• Too fast: the fingerprint capture has been made too fast to be recognized.
