Android emulator face recognition

Question

Is there any way to test android face recognition provided by BiometricPrompt on an emulator?

I know of the command:

adb -e emu finger touch

but this is only for fingerprint authentication.

Usually the Native Emulator of android studio does not access the Webcam on your PC, I have done this with a small workaround but it will take some extra time, get a android EMU like Bluestacks or Nox and run your app on that and test it that way – Shirtmaker

What were the Android devices that supported Face recognition. Just curious. @RubenMeiring – Levorotation

Were you able to figure this out? @Radioactive – Levorotation

@Rohit Singh My kind company bought device with face recognition (Pixel 4) for my team and this was the solution for me :) – Radioactive

@RohitSingh It depends if the manufacturer of the device has implemented it, As AdamN said the Google "Pixel 4" has it and then Samsung from about the S8 and up has it, Facial recognition has been in android since about Android 4.0 Ice Cream, But it depends if the manufacturer has implemented it – Shirtmaker

You could connect your webcam to your emulator to test the face recognition. Try following the steps in this post: https://mcmap.net/q/186469/-android-how-to-use-webcam-in-emulator
