android-account

I have implemented a sync adapter in my app which requires an account to be added in the device account settings. I followed the same approach given in the Android docs. It works fine till Marshmallow and I can see my account listed in the device accounts. But in Android N preview, account does not add to the device accounts.

Whats the simplest way to create a custom account on Android? So far I've read the documentation: Creating a Custom Account Type but it certainly didn't help a lot (too vague info).

How can I show all Email accounts by changing the third parameter: new String[]{"com.google"} Thank you very much According to the docs, the third parameter is allowableAccountTypes : allowableAccountTypes an optional string array of account types. These are used both to

I develop an app which needs to do 2 things: Create a user account (like WhatsApp). Whenever there is a new contact entry, if the contact is using my app, then immediately in the Contacts application show options "call" or "message" in the contact detail page. Example You need to create a SyncAdapter , this is basically a service that is able to sync contacts to/from a server, like Google does for Google Contacts , you can set it to be notified when a new contact is added, and have your SyncAdapter add the needed info to the contact so it'll show links to your app. If you go to your phone

Can anybody tell me how to maintain session for a user login. For example when the user sign- in to an application they have to be signed in unless the user logouts or uninstall the application similar to gmail in android. Bhanu Sharma Make one class for your SharedPreferences public class Session { private SharedPreferences prefs; public Session(Context cntx) { // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(cntx); } public void setusename(String usename) { prefs.edit().putString("usename", usename).commit(); } public String getusename() { String
