Android 6.0 permission.GET_ACCOUNTS

Question

I\'m using this to get permission:

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(context, Manifest.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {

         


        

Answer 1

If your using the GET_ACCOUNTS permission to ask the user to select a particular account type on the device(Google in my case), you can use the AccountPicker class which doesn't require any special permissions

Intent intent = AccountPicker.newChooseAccountIntent(null, null,
                    new String[]{GoogleAuthUtil.GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_TYPE},
                    false, null, null, null, null);
try {
    startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_ACCOUNT_PICKER);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
    // This device may not have Google Play Services installed.
}

You'll need Google Play services auth in your gradle dependencies

implementation com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.1

This avoids the Contacts permission popup for me
