How to distinguish between fingerprint and face id on Android?

Question

I don't see anything related to being able to distinguish between different biometric authentications within the android.hardware.biometrics package.

I have found the FingerprintManagerCompat that has the hasEnrolledFingerprints() methods but I was wondering if it was the way to go as it seems from the documentation that we should rely on the android.hardware.biometrics package classes.

Any advice on that? Did I miss something?
