Dear,

Someone will know if there is a library to use an external fingerprint reader to your mobile, for example connected via Bluetooth.

Regards.
 
Hi,
I have an external finger print reader which is connected mobile via USB port, is there any API to read the finger print.

thanks

It depends on the maker of the fingerprint reader. You have to go to the manufacturer website and check if they have an API available.

I am busy wrapping the Nurugo SDK for @Leonidas Brasileiro. It uses a very simple device that attaches to your mobile to "mirror" your fingerprint to the camera. No power required and no USB connections required. It uses your device's camera and flash/torch to capture the fingerprints. The raw fingerprint data can be stored and used for comparing scanned fingerprints with what you have stored in your database. I am only doing the wrapper for scanning of the fingerprints and returning data from the lib to B4A and not implementation of a database - that is up to the B4A user to design his/her own app.

A screenshot of what it looks like:
