Android fingerprint API for time attendance app [closed]

No. In fact, the Android Compatibility Definition for Android 6.0 states in the Fingerprint section (7.3.10):

MUST NOT enable 3rd-party applications to distinguish between individual fingerprints.

Therefore while you could write an app that uses fingerprint as a mechanism to authenticate the user, any registered fingerprint associated with the current user account could be used.

This would mean that if you want to differentiate each employee, they would need their own user account or device, rather than having a single instance of the app that works for multiple users.
