Question

I know how to find accounts (which will include gmail email ids of user) and how to filter gmail account.

AccountManager am = AccountManager.get(context);
        Account[] accounts = am.getAccounts();
        ArrayList<String> googleAccounts = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (Account ac : accounts) {
            String acname = ac.name;
            String actype = ac.type;
            //add only google accounts
            if(ac.type.equals("com.google")) {
                googleAccounts.add(ac.name);
            }
            Log.d(TAG, "accountInfo: " + acname + ":" + actype);
        }
        return googleAccounts;

What I wish to know is how to find the gmail account associated with Android Market? If you will try to delete a gmail account from Android phone you will get this message

but if you try to delete a gmail account associated with Android Market you will get the following message (if you press remove account in the earlier message).

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

The dialog

is caused by the implementation of AbstractAccountAuthenticator#getAccountRemovalAllowed in the Google account authenticator.

Since calling implementations of AbstractAccountAuthenticator directly is prevented by the system-only permission android.permission.ACCOUNT_MANAGER you’re going to have a hard time finding this out on your own.
