Access email account info

Question

Is there any way that i can access the email accounts that are saved in the default email client of android.

Basically I want to access the inbox and display their mails without asking for username and password.

Does AccountManager class thats available in android version 2 answer my query? and if yes then is there any alternative for v1.5 or v1.6.

AccountManager does answer your query, and no, there is no alternative. There's no way of finding out the account name of the account associated with the telephone, prior to android 2 — David Hedlund, Mar 17 '10 at 15:10

@David Hedlund, how can I get main gmail address in API level 5 and higher using `AccountManager`? It looks like it provides `Account` objects and these contain nothing more than name and type. — plugmind, Aug 27 '10 at 12:46

Try going to Settings, then Accounts & sync. Your Gmail and other accounts should be listed under Manage accounts.

He's trying to access account info via the SDK, not as a 'user of the phone' – hometoast Mar 17 '10 at 15:15
