Good morning everyone,

I followed everything by heart in the instructions of the installation of B4A 12.00 and I tried to compile my latest app.

The app does not even open. I tried to jettyfy the libraries as it is suggested sometimes. Nothing. I could find out what might be wrong but I cannot since until now the debugger does not connect in order to see what is wrong - edit: I had to treaten it and it gave me an error but again it started doing the same things. What should I be looking for?

Here are the libraries that it uses for the biometric access:

#AdditionalJar: androidx.biometric:biometric
#Extends: android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity
#AdditionalJar: androidx.arch.core:core-runtime
#AdditionalJar: androidx.appcompat:appcompat

And here is the error

make sure you are installing the new sdk as stated in details here

B4A v12.0 has been released

I'm happy to release a new version of B4A. This version brings an updated Android, Google, AndroidX and Firebase SDKs. You must download an updated Android SDK + additional resources, in order to use the new version. SDK instructions: 1. Download Windows command line tools...
www.b4x.com
delete your old android sdk and uninstall any b4a version on your computer and start over.

Android studio has nothing to do with b4x you need to delete any old sdk you have or create a new Android sdk folder and follow the steps as detailed.

Hey Thanks!

Biometric is part of AndroidX

So, I use now Java 14 in order to be able to can start SDK Manager ...

I will try to update the AndroidX classes by SDKManager.

I already have created a new folder where I unzipped the downloaded files. In order to remove any doubt from me I deleted it and have done this again.
I have also added the biometric library from the SDK Manager as I have done before. Nope. No luck.

Update:

I could start the SDKManager (this needed an update to Java 14 on my PC / with Java 8 and 11: no way!).
I could update the missing AndroidX maven libs via SDKManager.
I could compile my app.
I could install my app on my mobile device.
I can not start my app - because the app crahes at ones!!!!!! :-( --------- WITHOUT ANY LOGS!!!!!!!!!



I tried to compile with Java 11 ------> No success!
And I dont want to decrease the java version < 11.

@Erel ... What to do now?

Can you run this project to check if it works?

BiometricManager - Biometric Authentication

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...

i did run the example you have provided and i confirm app crashes with that log cat

11-18 16:34:49.911 22163 22163 E AndroidRuntime: Process: b4a.example, PID: 22163
11-18 16:34:49.911 22163 22163 E AndroidRuntime: at b4a.example.main.<init>(main.java:17)
Click to expand...

so i have customized the example as following

B4X: 
#AdditionalJar: androidx.biometric:biometric
#Extends: androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
#AdditionalJar: androidx.arch.core:core-runtime

and selected the internal appcompat library and it runs without crash

I did all those that you mentioned and also added #MultiDex: True (with the previous setup this was not needed) and it seems to compile and start. Thank you... @PassionDEV It would be a good thing to post in the original thread of Biometric a link to your solution in this thread...

@Erel can you please confirm that with what I mentioned it will be ok to use?
