I am hoping to make use of fingerprint scanners within my Kivy app for authentication.
Unfortunately, I haven't found any documentation regarding how to do this. I'm quite new to Kivy development, and I was hoping to achieve this by (e.g. for Android) importing the android API and calling the appropriate method. However after reading this stackoverflow response it appears:
Fingerprint scanner is not a feature in Android. So each company as Samsung, Motorola, HTC create is own API and SDK to access to fingerprint sensor.
(e.g. SamsungPass). Although I then found this
Google has now announced a generic fingerprint API for Android that can be utilised by any custom apps for authorisation ...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT" />
Any help regarding how I can add fingerprint authentication to Kivy apps is greatly appreciated. Thanks
