Determine Users on Android 4.2 Device

Question

Is there any way to determine if there are other users installed on the device or if the device is being used a single user tablet?

Along those lines is it possible to get the name, id, or Google account of the current user?

To answer your second question, this code will return all the Google accounts of the current user:

    AccountManager manager = AccountManager.get(context);
    Account[] accounts = manager.getAccountsByType("com.google");

You will also need this permission in your manifest:

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

So there is no way to use the AccountManager to see the accounts across the entire device? – John Verrone Feb 05 '13 at 21:58
The SDK docs are very helpful. You should try them: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/AccountManager.html – Barry Fruitman Feb 16 '13 at 05:23

For account information see the AccountManager class. This should show you the accounts on the device and allow you to determine other users, etc.
