83.4 Adding the Biometric Permission to the Manifest File

Biometric authentication requires that the app request the USE_BIOMETRIC permission within the project manifest file. Within the Android Studio Project tool window locate and edit the app -> manifests -> AndroidManifest.xml file to add the permission request as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    package="com.ebookfrenzy.biometricdemo">

 

    <uses-permission

        android:name="android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC" />
