In the AccountManager tutorial Remembering Your User, it's recommended:
If there's more than one Account
in the array, you should present a
dialog asking the user to select one.
What's the best way to do this? I have a solution in mind, but if there are other good examples from the community, it seems like this is the kind of boilerplate code that could be shared and easily re-used by others.
From Android 4.0 (API level 14) onwards, launching an activity with an intent shown below, shows account chooser.
Intent intent = AccountManager.newChooseAccountIntent(null, null,
new String[] { acc_type }, true, null, null,
null, null);
startActivityForResult(intent, CHOOSE_ACCOUNT);
For devices older than 4.0,
use https://github.com/frakbot/Android-AccountChooser
I use this code.
It show an dialog, so enduser can choose one of the google account.
ArrayList<String> gUsernameList = new ArrayList<String>();
AccountManager accountManager = AccountManager.get(this);
Account[] accounts = accountManager.getAccountsByType("com.google");
gUsernameList.clear();
//loop
for (Account account : accounts) {
gUsernameList.add(account.name);
}
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle("Choose you gmail-account");
ListView lv = new ListView(this);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>
(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1,
gUsernameList);
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent,View view,int position,long
id)
{
Log.d("You-select-gmail-account", gUsernameList.get(position)) );
}
});
builder.setView(lv);
builder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
final Dialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();
