Android: How to get the configured email account address programmatically

Question

I used the below code to get the configured account name

Account[] accounts = AccountManager.get(this).getAccounts();
        for (Account account : accounts) {

        Log.d("Account", "Name " + account.name);

        }

But i need the email id of the configured Microsoft Exchange account as we can change the name of the account (it is not need to be unique).

Thanks in Advance

This code work properly

public class RegisteredEmailAccounts extends Activity
{

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.registered_email_account);
    final TextView accountsData = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.accounts);

      String possibleEmail="";

       try{
               possibleEmail += "************* Get Registered Gmail Account 
                                  *************\n\n";
               Account[] accounts =  
           AccountManager.get(this).getAccountsByType("com.google");

               for (Account account : accounts) {

                 possibleEmail += " --> "+account.name+" : "+account.type+" , \n";
                 possibleEmail += " \n\n";

               }
          }
          catch(Exception e)
          {
               Log.i("Exception", "Exception:"+e) ; 
          }


          try{
               possibleEmail += "**************** Get All Registered Accounts 
                      *****************\n\n";

               Account[] accounts = AccountManager.get(this).getAccounts();
               for (Account account : accounts) {

                  possibleEmail += " --> "+account.name+" : "+account.type+" , \n";
                  possibleEmail += " \n";

               }
          }
          catch(Exception e)
          {
               Log.i("Exception", "Exception:"+e) ; 
          }

       // Show on screen    
       accountsData.setText(possibleEmail);

       Log.i("Exception", "mails:"+possibleEmail) ;
     }
}

i think this code will be helpful for you dear.

Here is my code:

AccountManager accManager = AccountManager.get(context);
Account acc[] = accManager.getAccounts();
int accCount = acc.length;
AppConstants.accOnDevice = new Vector<String>();
for(int i = 0; i < accCount; i++){
//Do your task here...
}

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

This wont work for native email app which allows Microsoft exchange accounts. Native email app allows user to change the name – Sudarshan Oct 18 '13 at 12:35
may be this code is useful for you....... Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND); intent.setType("message/rfc822"); PackageManager pkgManager = context.getPackageManager(); List activities = pkgManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0); – Bhanu Sharma Oct 18 '13 at 12:40

How this could be useful for getting the Email id? – Sudarshan Oct 18 '13 at 12:53

Try this code, sure will work for you

AccountManager accManager = AccountManager.get(getApplicationContext());
Account acc[] = accManager.getAccountsByType("com.google");
int accCount = acc.length;

for(int i = 0; i < accCount; i++)
{
    //Do your task here...            
    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),acc[i].name,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
