This call warms up the hardware and starts scanning for valid biometrics. It terminates when AuthenticationCallback.onAuthenticationError(int, CharSequence) is called or when AuthenticationCallback.onAuthenticationSucceeded(AuthenticationResult) is called, at which point the crypto object becomes invalid. This operation can be canceled by using the provided cancel object. The application wil receive authentication errors through AuthenticationCallback. Calling authenticate(CryptoObject, CancellationSignal, Executor, AuthenticationCallback) while an existing authentication attempt is occurring will stop the previous client and start a new authentication. The interrupted client will receive a cancelled notification through AuthenticationCallback.onAuthenticationError(int, CharSequence).
Params:
  • crypto – Object associated with the call
  • cancel – An object that can be used to cancel authentication
  • executor – An executor to handle callback events
  • callback – An object to receive authentication events
Throws:
