Artifact used (ex. androidx.biometric:biometric:1.0.1):
Version used:1.0.1
Theme used: Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar
Devices/Android versions reproduced on: pixel 2 Android 10, Emulator API 27&29

- Relevant code to trigger the issue: equal to the documentation:
https://developer.android.com/training/sign-in/biometric-auth#display-login-prompt
and using setDeviceCredentialAllowed(true)

I implemented the new androidx.biometric:biometric:1.0.1 as described in the documentation and using setDeviceCredentialAllowed(true). On API 29 it works correctly, on API < 29 when there aren't any device credentials set I would expect to get ERROR_NO_DEVICE_CREDENTIAL but I'm getting ERROR_USER_CANCELED, is this a library bug or if not what am I missing?

Since the documenation says this library is backwards compatible I would expect I don't need to handle anything myself for API<29, right?

As I could see in BiometricPrompt.java there is a code-block:

case DeviceCredentialHandlerBridge.RESULT_ERROR:
// Device credential auth failed. Assume this is due to the user canceling.
final CharSequence errorMsg = getActivity() != null
? getActivity().getString(R.string.generic_error_user_canceled) : "";
mAuthenticationCallback.onAuthenticationError(
BiometricConstants.ERROR_USER_CANCELED, errorMsg);
bridge.stopIgnoringReset();
bridge.reset();
break;

Don't know why the lib is returning a generic error code in form of ERROR_USER_CANCELED, nothing of this is documented in BiometricConstants.java.
