Get all Registered Email Accounts in Android

Question

I basically want to give option to user to select the email ID user wants. I don't want the contacts permission from user. Though account permission is fine with user. I tried answer at stackoverflow but it is not working for me. Is there any other way of getting it?

What I have tried:

Add this permission to manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />

And then request the google accounts like this:

Account[] accounts = AccountManager.get(this).getAccountsByType("com.google");
for (Account account : accounts) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Found: " + account.name);
}

In addition to having the uses-permission line in the manifest, you also have to grant that permission when the app is installed. If you have a new device, it's possible that it's Off. Check the app's permissions in your Settings. That fixed this problem for me.

Add one more below permission in manifes. it's working for me. I answered on this question.

Add permission in the manifest below android 6.0 else request run time permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />

Then get accounts using AccountManager.

Account[] accounts = AccountManager.get(context).getAccounts();

Request the google accounts like this:

Pattern emailPattern = Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS;
Account[] accounts = AccountManager.get(context).getAccounts();
for (Account account : accounts) {
    if (emailPattern.matcher(account.name).matches()) {
        String emailAccount = account.name;
    }
}
