public BiometricPrompt.PromptInfo build ()
Creates a BiometricPrompt.PromptInfo object with the specified options.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
BiometricPrompt.PromptInfo |
The BiometricPrompt.PromptInfo object. |
| Throws | |
|---|---|
IllegalArgumentException |
If any required option is not set, or if any illegal combination of options is present. |
setConfirmationRequired
public BiometricPrompt.PromptInfo.Builder setConfirmationRequired (boolean confirmationRequired)
Optional: Sets a system hint for whether to require explicit user confirmation after
a passive biometric (e.g. iris or face) has been recognized but before
BiometricPrompt.AuthenticationCallback.onAuthenticationSucceeded(AuthenticationResult) is
called. Defaults to true.
Disabling this option is generally only appropriate for frequent, low-value transactions, such as re-authenticating for a previously authorized application.
Also note that, as it is merely a hint, this option may be ignored by the system. For example, the system may choose to instead always require confirmation if the user has disabled passive authentication for their device in Settings. Additionally, this option will be ignored on devices running OS versions prior to Android 10 (API 29).
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
confirmationRequired |
boolean: Whether this option should be enabled. |
| Returns | |

| Parameters | |

setDeviceCredentialAllowed
public BiometricPrompt.PromptInfo.Builder setDeviceCredentialAllowed (boolean deviceCredentialAllowed)
Optional: Sets whether the user should be given the option to authenticate with
their device PIN, pattern, or password instead of a biometric. Defaults to
false.
Note that this option is incompatible with
setNegativeButtonText(CharSequence) and must NOT be
enabled if the latter is set.
Before enabling this option, developers should check whether the device is secure
by calling KeyguardManager.isDeviceSecure(). If the device is not
secure, authentication will fail with BiometricPrompt.ERROR_NO_DEVICE_CREDENTIAL.
On versions prior to Android 10 (API 29), calls to
BiometricPrompt.cancelAuthentication() will not work as expected after the
user has chosen to authenticate with their device credential. This is because the
library internally launches a separate activity (by calling
KeyguardManager.createConfirmDeviceCredentialIntent(CharSequence, CharSequence)) that does not have a public API for cancellation.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
deviceCredentialAllowed |
boolean: Whether this option should be enabled. |
| Returns | |
