Android M fingerprint scanner on Android Emulator

Question

I want to ask how should I test my fingerprint authentication on Android Emulator?

I was trying to use

adb -e emu finger touch [finger_id]

referred from link here but it seems to be not working with my Emulator.

My Emulator is Targeting API 23, Android 6.0, x86_64.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can do it from Emulator itself

Go to Settings -> Security--> Set a device lock methos-->Create a pattern

Then click on FingerPrint to register some fingerprints

Now You can use fingerprints from emulator settings as shown in pic below
