-     * used to express vendor errors not otherwise covered. Applications are expected to show the
-     * error message string if they happen, but are advised not to rely on the message id since they
-     * will be device and vendor-specific

+     * publicly defined constants, and must provide appropriate strings for these
+     * errors to the {@link BiometricPrompt.AuthenticationCallback#onAuthenticationError(int,
+     * CharSequence)} callback. OEMs should expect that the error message will be shown to users.
