Is it possible to detect a fingerprint when a touch occurs?

Question

I am trying to get the fingerprint of users when they touch an android device display. Is there any way to do this ?

Answer 1

Short answer is no. The touch screen just isn't sensitive enough to be able to detect differences in pressure that minute or differentiate between touches that close together.

Answer 2

sorry, it's not possible. The touch sensors are based on an electric current passing from your finger to the screen, while finger print sensors would need to analyze the oils coming off your fingers. We're not there yet!
