evilcore / digitus

A library that simplifies the use of Marshmallow's Fingerprint API (Nexus Imprint). Falls back to a simple password on older API levels.

Digitus

Digitus is a library designed to make Fingerprint authentication using Nexus Imprint easier for developers. On API levels below Marshmallow, it will fall back to a password dialog.

Note: this library is powered by material-dialogs, depending on this library will automatically depend on Material Dialogs.

Testing Fingerprints from an Emulator

The stock Android emulator allows you to test Nexus Imprint. If you create a Nexus 5X emulator, you can simulate a finger pressing against the reader using this Terminal command:

adb -e emu finger touch finger-id

finger-id would be replaced with a number, e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc.
