addAccount

open fun addAccount(
    accountType: String!, 
    authTokenType: String!, 
    requiredFeatures: Array<String!>!, 
    addAccountOptions: Bundle!, 
    activity: Activity!, 
    callback: AccountManagerCallback<Bundle!>!, 
    handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Bundle!>!

Asks the user to add an account of a specified type. The authenticator for this account type processes this request with the appropriate user interface. If the user does elect to create a new account, the account name is returned.

This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture must not be used on the main thread.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, MANAGE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS

addAccountExplicitly

open fun addAccountExplicitly(
    account: Account!, 
    password: String!, 
    userdata: Bundle!
): Boolean

Adds an account directly to the AccountManager. Normally used by sign-up wizards associated with authenticators, not directly by applications.

Calling this method does not update the last authenticated timestamp, referred by KEY_LAST_AUTHENTICATED_TIME. To update it, call notifyAccountAuthenticated(android.accounts.Account) after getting success. However, if this method is called when it is triggered by addAccount() or addAccountAsUser() or similar functions, then there is no need to update timestamp manually as it is updated automatically by framework on successful completion of the mentioned functions.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that owns the specified account.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS

addAccountExplicitly

open fun addAccountExplicitly(
    account: Account!, 
    password: String!, 
    extras: Bundle!, 
    visibility: MutableMap<String!, Int!>!
): Boolean

Adds an account directly to the AccountManager. Additionally it specifies Account visibility for given list of packages.

Normally used by sign-up wizards associated with authenticators, not directly by applications.

Calling this method does not update the last authenticated timestamp, referred by KEY_LAST_AUTHENTICATED_TIME. To update it, call notifyAccountAuthenticated(android.accounts.Account) after getting success.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that owns the specified account.

addOnAccountsUpdatedListener

open fun addOnAccountsUpdatedListener(
    listener: OnAccountsUpdateListener!, 
    handler: Handler!, 
    updateImmediately: Boolean
): Unit

Adds an OnAccountsUpdateListener to this instance of the AccountManager. This listener will be notified whenever user or AbstractAccountAuthenticator made changes to accounts of any type related to the caller. This method is equivalent to addOnAccountsUpdatedListener(listener, handler, updateImmediately, null)
Requires android.Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS

addOnAccountsUpdatedListener

open fun addOnAccountsUpdatedListener(
    listener: OnAccountsUpdateListener!, 
    handler: Handler!, 
    updateImmediately: Boolean, 
    accountTypes: Array<String!>!
): Unit

Adds an OnAccountsUpdateListener to this instance of the AccountManager. This listener will be notified whenever user or AbstractAccountAuthenticator made changes to accounts of given types related to the caller - either list of accounts returned by getAccounts() was changed, or new account was added for which user can grant access to the caller.

As long as this listener is present, the AccountManager instance will not be garbage-collected, and neither will the Context used to retrieve it, which may be a large Activity instance. To avoid memory leaks, you must remove this listener before then. Normally listeners are added in an Activity or Service's android.app.Activity#onCreate and removed in Activity.onDestroy.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

blockingGetAuthToken

open fun blockingGetAuthToken(
    account: Account!, 
    authTokenType: String!, 
    notifyAuthFailure: Boolean
): String!

This convenience helper synchronously gets an auth token with getAuthToken(android.accounts.Account,java.lang.String,boolean,android.accounts.AccountManagerCallback,android.os.Handler).

This method may block while a network request completes, and must never be made from the main thread.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, USE_CREDENTIALS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS

clearPassword

open fun clearPassword(account: Account!): Unit

Forgets a saved password. This erases the local copy of the password; it does not change the user's account password on the server. Has the same effect as setPassword(account, null) but requires fewer permissions, and may be used by applications or management interfaces to "sign out" from an account.

This method only successfully clear the account's password when the caller has the same signature as the authenticator that owns the specified account. Otherwise, this method will silently fail.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, MANAGE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS

confirmCredentials

open fun confirmCredentials(
    account: Account!, 
    options: Bundle!, 
    activity: Activity!, 
    callback: AccountManagerCallback<Bundle!>!, 
    handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Bundle!>!

Confirms that the user knows the password for an account to make extra sure they are the owner of the account. The user-entered password can be supplied directly, otherwise the authenticator for this account type prompts the user with the appropriate interface. This method is intended for applications which want extra assurance; for example, the phone lock screen uses this to let the user unlock the phone with an account password if they forget the lock pattern.

If the user-entered password matches a saved password for this account, the request is considered valid; otherwise the authenticator verifies the password (usually by contacting the server).

This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture must not be used on the main thread.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, MANAGE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS

editProperties

open fun editProperties(
    accountType: String!, 
    activity: Activity!, 
    callback: AccountManagerCallback<Bundle!>!, 
    handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Bundle!>!

Offers the user an opportunity to change an authenticator's settings. These properties are for the authenticator in general, not a particular account. Not all authenticators support this method.

This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture must not be used on the main thread.

This method requires the caller to have the same signature as the authenticator associated with the specified account type.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, MANAGE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS

finishSession

open fun finishSession(
    sessionBundle: Bundle!, 
    activity: Activity!, 
    callback: AccountManagerCallback<Bundle!>!, 
    handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Bundle!>!

Finishes the session started by startAddAccountSession or startUpdateCredentialsSession. This will either add the account to AccountManager or update the local credentials stored.

This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture must not be used on the main thread.

get

open static fun get(context: Context!): AccountManager!

Gets an AccountManager instance associated with a Context. The Context will be used as long as the AccountManager is active, so make sure to use a Context whose lifetime is commensurate with any listeners registered to #addOnAccountsUpdatedListener or similar methods.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

No permission is required to call this method.

getAccountVisibility

open fun getAccountVisibility(
    account: Account!, 
    packageName: String!
): Int

Get visibility of certain account for given application. Possible returned values are:

• VISIBILITY_VISIBLE
• VISIBILITY_USER_MANAGED_VISIBLE
• VISIBILITY_NOT_VISIBLE
• VISIBILITY_USER_MANAGED_NOT_VISIBLE

This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that owns the specified account.

getAccounts

open fun getAccounts(): Array<Account!>

Lists all accounts visible to the caller regardless of type. Equivalent to getAccountsByType(null). These accounts may be visible because the user granted access to the account, or the AbstractAccountAuthenticator managing the account did so or because the client shares a signature with the managing AbstractAccountAuthenticator.

Caution: This method returns personal and sensitive user data. If your app accesses, collects, uses, or shares personal and sensitive data, you must clearly disclose that fact to users. For apps published on Google Play, policies protecting user data require that you do the following:

• Disclose to the user how your app accesses, collects, uses, or shares personal and sensitive data. Learn more about acceptable disclosure and consent.
• Provide a privacy policy that describes your use of this data on- and off-device.

To learn more, visit the Google Play Policy regarding user data.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.
Requires android.Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS

getAccountsAndVisibilityForPackage

open fun getAccountsAndVisibilityForPackage(
    packageName: String!, 
    accountType: String!
): MutableMap<Account!, Int!>!

Gets all accounts of given type and their visibility for specific package. This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that manages accountType. It is a helper method which combines calls to getAccountsByType by authenticator and getAccountVisibility for every returned account.

getAccountsByType

open fun getAccountsByType(type: String!): Array<Account!>

Lists all accounts of particular type visible to the caller. These accounts may be visible because the user granted access to the account, or the AbstractAccountAuthenticator managing the account did so or because the client shares a signature with the managing AbstractAccountAuthenticator.

The account type is a string token corresponding to the authenticator and useful domain of the account. For example, there are types corresponding to Google and Facebook. The exact string token to use will be published somewhere associated with the authenticator in question.

Caution: This method returns personal and sensitive user data. If your app accesses, collects, uses, or shares personal and sensitive data, you must clearly disclose that fact to users. For apps published on Google Play, policies protecting user data require that you do the following:

• Disclose to the user how your app accesses, collects, uses, or shares personal and sensitive data. Learn more about acceptable disclosure and consent.
• Provide a privacy policy that describes your use of this data on- and off-device.

To learn more, visit the Google Play Policy regarding user data.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

Caller targeting API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O and above, will get list of accounts made visible to it by user (see newChooseAccountIntent(android.accounts.Account,java.util.List,java.lang.String[],java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String[],android.os.Bundle)) or AbstractAccountAuthenticator using setAccountVisibility. android.Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS permission is not used.

Caller targeting API level below android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O that have not been granted the android.Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS permission, will only see those accounts managed by AbstractAccountAuthenticators whose signature matches the client.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#LOLLIPOP_MR1 and before, android.Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms, irrespective of uid or signature match. See docs for this function in API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#LOLLIPOP_MR1.
Requires android.Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS

getAccountsByTypeAndFeatures

open fun getAccountsByTypeAndFeatures(
    type: String!, 
    features: Array<String!>!, 
    callback: AccountManagerCallback<Array<Account!>!>!, 
    handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Array<Account!>!>!

Lists all accounts of a type which have certain features. The account type identifies the authenticator (see getAccountsByType). Account features are authenticator-specific string tokens identifying boolean account properties (see hasFeatures).

Unlike getAccountsByType, this method calls the authenticator, which may contact the server or do other work to check account features, so the method returns an AccountManagerFuture.

This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture must not be used on the main thread.

Caller targeting API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O and above, will get list of accounts made visible to it by user (see newChooseAccountIntent(android.accounts.Account,java.util.List,java.lang.String[],java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String[],android.os.Bundle)) or AbstractAccountAuthenticator using setAccountVisibility. android.Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS permission is not used.

Caller targeting API level below android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O that have not been granted the android.Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS permission, will only see those accounts managed by AbstractAccountAuthenticators whose signature matches the client.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#LOLLIPOP_MR1 and before, android.Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms, irrespective of uid or signature match. See docs for this function in API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#LOLLIPOP_MR1.

getAccountsByTypeForPackage

open fun getAccountsByTypeForPackage(
    type: String!, 
    packageName: String!
): Array<Account!>

Returns the accounts visible to the specified package in an environment where some apps are not authorized to view all accounts. This method can only be called by system apps and authenticators managing the type. Beginning API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O it also return accounts which user can make visible to the application (see VISIBILITY_USER_MANAGED_VISIBLE).

getAuthToken

open fun getAuthToken(
    account: Account!, 
    authTokenType: String!, 
    options: Bundle!, 
    activity: Activity!, 
    callback: AccountManagerCallback<Bundle!>!, 
    handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Bundle!>!

Gets an auth token of the specified type for a particular account, prompting the user for credentials if necessary. This method is intended for applications running in the foreground where it makes sense to ask the user directly for a password.

If a previously generated auth token is cached for this account and type, then it is returned. Otherwise, if a saved password is available, it is sent to the server to generate a new auth token. Otherwise, the user is prompted to enter a password.

Some authenticators have auth token types, whose value is authenticator-dependent. Some services use different token types to access different functionality -- for example, Google uses different auth tokens to access Gmail and Google Calendar for the same account.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, USE_CREDENTIALS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.

This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture must not be used on the main thread.

    authTokenType: String!, 
    options: Bundle!, 
    notifyAuthFailure: Boolean, 
    callback: AccountManagerCallback<Bundle!>!, 
    handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Bundle!>!

Gets an auth token of the specified type for a particular account, optionally raising a notification if the user must enter credentials. This method is intended for background tasks and services where the user should not be immediately interrupted with a password prompt.

If a previously generated auth token is cached for this account and type, then it is returned. Otherwise, if a saved password is available, it is sent to the server to generate a new auth token. Otherwise, an Intent is returned which, when started, will prompt the user for a password. If the notifyAuthFailure parameter is set, a status bar notification is also created with the same Intent, alerting the user that they need to enter a password at some point.

In that case, you may need to wait until the user responds, which could take hours or days or forever. When the user does respond and supply a new password, the account manager will broadcast the LOGIN_ACCOUNTS_CHANGED_ACTION Intent and notify OnAccountsUpdateListener which applications can use to try again.

If notifyAuthFailure is not set, it is the application's responsibility to launch the returned Intent at some point. Either way, the result from this call will not wait for user action.

Some authenticators have auth token types, whose value is authenticator-dependent. Some services use different token types to access different functionality -- for example, Google uses different auth tokens to access Gmail and Google Calendar for the same account.

This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture must not be used on the main thread.

    getAuthTokenOptions: Bundle!, 
    callback: AccountManagerCallback<Bundle!>!, 
    handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Bundle!>!

This convenience helper combines the functionality of getAccountsByTypeAndFeatures, #getAuthToken, and addAccount.

This method gets a list of the accounts matching specific type and feature set which are visible to the caller (see getAccountsByType for details); if there is exactly one already visible account, it is used; if there are some accounts for which user grant visibility, the user is prompted to pick one; if there are none, the user is prompted to add one. Finally, an auth token is acquired for the chosen account.

This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture must not be used on the main thread.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, MANAGE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.

getAuthenticatorTypes

open fun getAuthenticatorTypes(): Array<AuthenticatorDescription!>!

Lists the currently registered authenticators.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

No permission is required to call this method.

Caller targeting API level 34 and above, the results are filtered by the rules of package visibility.

getPackagesAndVisibilityForAccount

open fun getPackagesAndVisibilityForAccount(account: Account!): MutableMap<String!, Int!>!

Returns package names and visibility which were explicitly set for given account.

This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that owns the specified account.

getPassword

open fun getPassword(account: Account!): String!

Gets the saved password associated with the account. This is intended for authenticators and related code; applications should get an auth token instead.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that owns the specified account.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#LOLLIPOP_MR1 and before, AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#LOLLIPOP_MR1.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS

getPreviousName

open fun getPreviousName(account: Account!): String!

Gets the previous name associated with the account or null, if none. This is intended so that clients of OnAccountsUpdateListener can determine if an authenticator has renamed an account.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

getUserData

open fun getUserData(
    account: Account!, 
    key: String!
): String!

Gets the user data named by "key" associated with the account. This is intended for authenticators and related code to store arbitrary metadata along with accounts. The meaning of the keys and values is up to the authenticator for the account.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that owns the specified account.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#LOLLIPOP_MR1 and before, AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#LOLLIPOP_MR1.

    features: Array<String!>!, 
    callback: AccountManagerCallback<Boolean!>!, 
    handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Boolean!>!

Finds out whether a particular account has all the specified features. Account features are authenticator-specific string tokens identifying boolean account properties. For example, features are used to tell whether Google accounts have a particular service (such as Google Calendar or Google Talk) enabled. The feature names and their meanings are published somewhere associated with the authenticator in question.

This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture must not be used on the main thread.

If caller target API level is below android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O, it is required to hold the permission android.Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS or have a signature match with the AbstractAccountAuthenticator that manages the account.

invalidateAuthToken

open fun invalidateAuthToken(
    accountType: String!, 
    authToken: String!
): Unit

Removes an auth token from the AccountManager's cache. Does nothing if the auth token is not currently in the cache. Applications must call this method when the auth token is found to have expired or otherwise become invalid for authenticating requests. The AccountManager does not validate or expire cached auth tokens otherwise.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, MANAGE_ACCOUNTS or USE_CREDENTIALS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS or android.Manifest.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS

isCredentialsUpdateSuggested

open fun isCredentialsUpdateSuggested(
    account: Account!, 
    statusToken: String!, 
    callback: AccountManagerCallback<Boolean!>!, 
    handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Boolean!>!

Checks whether updateCredentials or startUpdateCredentialsSession should be called with respect to the specified account.

This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture must not be used on the main thread.

newChooseAccountIntent

open static fun newChooseAccountIntent(
    selectedAccount: Account!, 
    allowableAccounts: ArrayList<Account!>!, 
    allowableAccountTypes: Array<String!>!, 
    alwaysPromptForAccount: Boolean, 
    descriptionOverrideText: String!, 
    addAccountAuthTokenType: String!, 
    addAccountRequiredFeatures: Array<String!>!, 
    addAccountOptions: Bundle!
): Intent!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Deprecated in favor of newChooseAccountIntent(android.accounts.Account,java.util.List,java.lang.String[],java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.lang.String[],android.os.Bundle). Returns an intent to an Activity that prompts the user to choose from a list of accounts. The caller will then typically start the activity by calling startActivityForResult(intent, ...);.

On success the activity returns a Bundle with the account name and type specified using keys KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME and KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE. Chosen account is marked as VISIBILITY_USER_MANAGED_VISIBLE to the caller (see setAccountVisibility) and will be returned to it in consequent getAccountsByType) calls.

The most common case is to call this with one account type, e.g.:

newChooseAccountIntent(null, null, new String[]{"com.google"}, false, null,
  null, null, null);
