This quiz will test your understanding of implementing biometric authentication in Android applications. It covers key concepts such as the roles of BiometricManager and BiometricPrompt, the process of setting up and using fingerprint or face authentication, and the steps involved in configuring an Android project to support these features. By answering these questions, you’ll be able to gauge your knowledge of how to integrate biometric authentication into your apps, manage user interactions, and ensure a secure authentication flow.
