How to get the Android device's primary e-mail address

Question

How do you get the Android\'s primary e-mail address (or a list of e-mail addresses)?

It\'s my understanding that on OS 2.0+ there\'s support for multiple e-mail add

Answer 1

There is an Android api that allows the user to select their email address without the need for a permission. Take a look at: https://developers.google.com/identity/smartlock-passwords/android/retrieve-hints

HintRequest hintRequest = new HintRequest.Builder()
        .setHintPickerConfig(new CredentialPickerConfig.Builder()
                .setShowCancelButton(true)
                .build())
        .setEmailAddressIdentifierSupported(true)
        .setAccountTypes(IdentityProviders.GOOGLE)
        .build();

PendingIntent intent = mCredentialsClient.getHintPickerIntent(hintRequest);
try {
    startIntentSenderForResult(intent.getIntentSender(), RC_HINT, null, 0, 0, 0);
} catch (IntentSender.SendIntentException e) {
    Log.e(TAG, "Could not start hint picker Intent", e);
}

This will show a picker where the user can select an emailaddress. The result will be delivered in onActivityResult()
