Fingerprint.isAvailable() returning false on android with face id

[tikiwade]

When calling the Fingerprint.isAvialable() on an android device with face id, the response is returning as false, should be true

Well a face ID is not a fingerprint so I think it would make more sense to have a new function for faceID (like FaceID.isAvailable() that would return true on iOS and android devices supporting it for now) and a more generic one (BiometryID.isAvailable() ) that regroup both (and potentially others in the future like a retina scan, an heartbeats signature or whatever biometric recognition technology manufacturers would include in next portable devices...) and return true if at least one biometric recognition technology is supported.

Hi ramsestom,

Last month CN1 added face id to the fingerprint cn1 lib (https://github.com/codenameone/FingerprintScanner) The face ID does work on iOS, just not on Android. I don't disagree with you on the naming convention, however at the moment I am just looking to have the functionality be equal on Android as it is with IOS.

Thanks
