    I hope you are using "finger print" in some sort of hash-footprint kinda way, because I don't think you can actually scan your finger-print on the screen of a default touchscreen. – Nanne Jan 27 '11 at 14:34
  • Thanks . i think u r rite , but if you see the android login system using finger print then it seems tht there can be possibility . Thanks – umar Jan 28 '11 at 21:21
  • You cannot scan a fingerprint from a touchscreen. The only Android device that can detect 10 finger tips at once is the upcoming Xoom, AFAIK the Galaxy S and Tab are restricted to four tips and thats the best ATM. There is no capacity for finer or smaller touches. If this were possible, the technology wouldn't be accepted and/or we would unlock our phones with our fingerprints :) – Kevin Read Feb 06 '11 at 21:40

Your can capture images using the camera only, no way to acquire data from the screen itself. So I guess you need to make your system login using face recognition. However this will be easy to fake (take a picture of an existing photo of your president and log on his account)...

Other than this, to send an image or more generally data to a server using HTTP, have a look at the HttpClient class from Apache.

  • Thanks for the idea, but as u see the android finger login system , i want to develop the same application for web . – umar Jan 28 '11 at 21:18
  • Sorry but you'll find out the hard way that **TRUE** finger print scanning is not possible on Android phones. Some tricks could be used to fake it though. Some info: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3934184/android-fingerprint-scanner-application – Vincent Mimoun-Prat Feb 01 '11 at 07:47
