Android Question
Sigin my app with Google Account in Android
I have learned that there are many ways to sign in app with Google Account.
Here are two ways:
- Use ,
AccountManager.java
GOOD: can get user's email address and authToken.
BAD: can not get user's avatar and nickname. - Use :
Google+ Api
GOOD: can get user's all info , but email address.
BAD: no email address, and the view's style is not matching to my app.
QUESTION:
1 .How can i get avatar and nickname by using only
AccountManager- Is the Google+ Api's view be changed ? Any documents?
Thanks for any help!
Answer
You can get the Email address via the Google+ API. You need to add the appropriate scopes and permission.
The scopes are
Scopes.PROFILE
Scopes.EMAIL
And you need the following permission
android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS
Then you can retrieve the Email address with the AccountApi
Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(googleApiClient)
