B4A Library BiometricManager - Biometric Authentication

i_view64_rpWKS7JTGJ.png


This class replaces FingerprintManager (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/fingerprint-authentication.72500/#content).
It works with all the device supported biometric authentication features.

Setup:
1. Open B4A Sdk Manager, search for biometric and install androidx.biometric:biometric.
2. Add to the activity:
B4X:
#AdditionalJar: androidx.biometric:biometric
#Extends: android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
'discard the incorrect warning about AppCompat not being used.
#IgnoreWarnings: 32
3. Add to the manifest editor:
B4X:
AddPermission(android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC)
AddPermission(android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@style/MyAppTheme")
CreateResource(values, theme.xml,
<resources>
    <style name="MyAppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
    </style>
</resources>
)

Usage:
- Call CanAuthenticate. It will return "SUCCESS" if biometric authentication is supported and configured.
- Call Show to show the authentication dialog and wait for the Complete event.

See the attached example.

Hey
When I open B4A Sdk Manager and search for biometric I can not find androidx.biometric:biometric
Actually before it the Sdk Manager logger shows this:
B4X:

what is the problem??
 
In many applications, they make users choose a password in case which touch id ( finger print or biometric authentication or ...) does not work.
1- Is it possible to add something like a button called "using your password" or set an event for "Cancel" button in authentication?
2- Is it possible to change name of "Cancel" button to something else like "Ok"?

I´m trying the BiometricExample and shows in compile:

Convert byte code - optimized dex. Error
Uncaught translation error: com.android.dx.cf.code.SimException: invalid opcode ba (invokedynamic requires --min-sdk-version >= 26)
Uncaught translation error: com.android.dx.cf.code.SimException: invalid opcode ba (invokedynamic requires --min-sdk-version >= 26)
2 errors; aborting

Why?

Hi!
I have just one question: I have an application that at the time was made without the use of B4X Pages. I still haven't been able to convert it. I inserted this function into it and it worked, however, despite the application not using the title bar, when I entered this code the title bar appeared and I could not find how to remove it. Would you help me?
