This should be part of isSupported, as non-enabled and non-supported should both be handled as an error

this way you can differentiate between: device doesn't have biometrics and "has it but disabled". So you can alert the user to enable it.

We should reuse the existing isSupported API, the rest looks fine. Do you know if this also addresses an issue where the missing fingerprint does not show the PIN code field as a fallback? Does Android support this in general? It popped up for our app, so I was curious if there is a way to do that.

I thought the system handles that automatically because all are allowed: |

isEnabled()that will show true/false if you have biometrics but they are disabledauthenticate()will call the error callback if biometrics are disabledti.identity-android-3.3.0.zip
Note:
authenticate()will currently also fail if the device has the feature disabled.isSupported()is still showing true because the devices HAS the features. TheisEnabled()will do the same checks asauthenticate()but won't show the dialog in case it is true. So you can use the check beforehand.
