Answer 1

Try the following:

public static void addGoogleAccount(final Activity activity) {
    final AccountManager accountMgr = AccountManager.get(activity);
    accountMgr.addAccount("com.google", "my_auth_token", null, null, activity, null, null);
}

Answer 2

the answer for the above question by providing EXTRA_ACCOUNT_TYPES in the intent extra data. and set the value to "com.google" in order to alert the activity:

public static void startAddGoogleAccountIntent(Context context){
Intent addAccountIntent = new Intent(android.provider.Settings.ACTION_ADD_ACCOUNT)
.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
addAccountIntent.putExtra(Settings.EXTRA_ACCOUNT_TYPES, new String[] {"com.google"});
context.startActivity(addAccountIntent); }

Answer 3

For recent Androids using adb you can do:

adb shell am start -a android.settings.ADD_ACCOUNT_SETTINGS \
                   -n com.android.settings/.accounts.AddAccountSettings

(You’ll still have to select what account type you’d like though)

Answer 4

Android Account Manager provides an API to add account. (google or other account types)

public AccountManagerFuture addAccount (String accountType, String authTokenType, String[] requiredFeatures, Bundle addAccountOptions, Activity activity, AccountManagerCallback callback, Handler handler)

Answer 5

Check out the ACTION_ADD_ACCOUNT

startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_ADD_ACCOUNT));

Answer 6

The clue is in your shell command:

    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setClassName( "com.google.android.gsf", "com.google.android.gsf.login.AccountIntroActivity" );
    context.startActivity( intent );
