Does anyone here know whether Le Max 2 and Le 2 have implemented the Marshmallow Fingerprint API for their Fingerprint sensors?
I think they did since all fingerprint apps are working (1Password, Google pay, app lock, etc.)

There is lots of apps now that support login via fingerprint sensor, but none of them works on z5C
Any chance it start to work on Marshmallow ??
it is great feature, i want to use it
Since Marshmallow will come with Google api that support fingerprint sensor we can presume that it will work on 6.0
Hello! I would like to know a thing or two about about android's fingerprint sensors. Apparently I am planning to create a mobile finger print scanner and it seems that hardware wise an android phone with fingerprint scanner has everything I need. Heads-up I'm a newbie in android dev and currently do not have any app developed.
I have done some reaseach and it seems that Android M has already APIs for fingerprint. But the articles I have seen only talks about authenticating the phone's user. Nothing about using it for different purpose.
So here are my questions:
1. Can I use and access the fingerprint sensor of android phones to scan fingerprint of different users?
2. Would I be able to develop in an unrooted Galaxy S6 Edge?
3. Are the implemetation of the sensors the same for every device?
Hoping for replies..
I was under the impression that on Android pie Google would allow all biometrics as options to login to apps instead of fingerprint only.
Is anyone successful with this?
I'm guessing no as face recognition isn't very secure.
Having said that I use the fingerprint sensor.

This is not the standard face recognition that most android phones use. This is with a dot projector and infrared light like the iPhone X models
I think it requires 3rd party developers to implement. Can't really see this happening as only a few phones have the 3d face scanning built in. I mean I think even Huawei doesn't have any apps that uses this technology i.e vault or secure notes.

I haven't tried my banking app yet but google pay uses it.
It is also just as secure as fingerprint and as secure as iphone.

It was just my understanding that Google implemented it for Pie the same way as for iOS. The apps for ios is just coded for biometric. No need to specify if it should be faceID or an older touchid phone.
So the apps should just ask for biometric authentication and therefor it should use whatever I has active.
The app developer would need to code it for FaceID, both my banking apps have settings within the app to use fingerprint login, there would be a setting required to provide faceID login likewise. The same also applies to my phone carriers usage meter, they have only just modified it for fingerprint login.

There is currently no Android standard for face unlock so using it as an identification for banking apps or making payments would be very insecure. Different Android phones currently use different methods to implement face unlock and some of those methods can be bypassed with a photograph.
I have created a change.org petition to ask Samsung to unlock APIs on Galaxy devices. Please sign this petition if you are interested.

Isn't Camera 2 API already unlocked?
I don't have S10 yet but my S7E do support the api.
Didn't Samsung already announce at their launch event that they'll be opening up their camera API to 3rd party developers?
To what end?
So 3rd party app developers can optimise their applications to work better with the cameras on their devices?

It's very limited, not level3
And some are unaccessible
It's very very bad
And you can't access third camera id on Samsung devices after pie upgrade (note9, s9). Only S10 (limited access)
And now they wanted to kill it...
Hey!
I'm a big fan of Google Pay and use it everywhere I can with my Mate 20 Pro. Unfortunatley Huaweis 3D Face Scan is not yet accepted by Google as a valid und secure unlock method. For larger payments
I have to use my fingerprint or code. Do you guys know if this will change in the future since the Pixel 4 now uses a similar unlock method which works with Google Pay in Android 10?
I was about to ask a similar question. Does anybody know if the face unlock on the mate 20 pro will hook into the new android 10 biometric unlocking?
