AccountManager
open class AccountManager
kotlin.Any | |
↳ | android.accounts.AccountManager |
This class provides access to a centralized registry of the user's online accounts. The user enters credentials (username and password) once per account, granting applications access to online resources with "one-click" approval.
Different online services have different ways of handling accounts and authentication, so the account manager uses pluggable authenticator modules for different account types. Authenticators (which may be written by third parties) handle the actual details of validating account credentials and storing account information. For example, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft Exchange each have their own authenticator.
Many servers support some notion of an authentication token, which can be used to authenticate a request to the server without sending the user's actual password. (Auth tokens are normally created with a separate request which does include the user's credentials.) AccountManager can generate auth tokens for applications, so the application doesn't need to handle passwords directly. Auth tokens are normally reusable and cached by AccountManager, but must be refreshed periodically. It's the responsibility of applications to invalidate auth tokens when they stop working so the AccountManager knows it needs to regenerate them.
Applications accessing a server normally go through these steps:
- Get an instance of AccountManager using
get(android.content.Context)
. - List the available accounts using
getAccountsByType
orgetAccountsByTypeAndFeatures
. Normally applications will only be interested in accounts with one particular type, which identifies the authenticator. Account features are used to identify particular account subtypes and capabilities. Both the account type and features are authenticator-specific strings, and must be known by the application in coordination with its preferred authenticators. - Select one or more of the available accounts, possibly by asking the user for their preference. If no suitable accounts are available,
addAccount
may be called to prompt the user to create an account of the appropriate type. - Important: If the application is using a previously remembered account selection, it must make sure the account is still in the list of accounts returned by
getAccountsByType
. Requesting an auth token for an account no longer on the device results in an undefined failure. - Request an auth token for the selected account(s) using one of the #getAuthToken methods or related helpers. Refer to the description of each method for exact usage and error handling details.
- Make the request using the auth token. The form of the auth token, the format of the request, and the protocol used are all specific to the service you are accessing. The application may use whatever network and protocol libraries are useful.
- Important: If the request fails with an authentication error, it could be that a cached auth token is stale and no longer honored by the server. The application must call
invalidateAuthToken
to remove the token from the cache, otherwise requests will continue failing! After invalidating the auth token, immediately go back to the "Request an auth token" step above. If the process fails the second time, then it can be treated as a "genuine" authentication failure and the user notified or other appropriate actions taken.
Some AccountManager methods may need to interact with the user to prompt for credentials, present options, or ask the user to add an account. The caller may choose whether to allow AccountManager to directly launch the necessary user interface and wait for the user, or to return an Intent which the caller may use to launch the interface, or (in some cases) to install a notification which the user can select at any time to launch the interface. To have AccountManager launch the interface directly, the caller must supply the current foreground Activity
context.
Many AccountManager methods take AccountManagerCallback
and Handler
as parameters. These methods return immediately and run asynchronously. If a callback is provided then AccountManagerCallback#run
will be invoked on the Handler's thread when the request completes, successfully or not. The result is retrieved by calling AccountManagerFuture#getResult()
on the AccountManagerFuture
returned by the method (and also passed to the callback). This method waits for the operation to complete (if necessary) and either returns the result or throws an exception if an error occurred during the operation. To make the request synchronously, call AccountManagerFuture#getResult()
immediately on receiving the future from the method; no callback need be supplied.
Requests which may block, including AccountManagerFuture#getResult()
, must never be called on the application's main event thread. These operations throw IllegalStateException
if they are used on the main thread.

): AccountManagerFuture<Bundle!>!
Asks the user to add an account of a specified type. The authenticator for this account type processes this request with the appropriate user interface. If the user does elect to create a new account, the account name is returned.
This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture
must not be used on the main thread.
NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, MANAGE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS
Parameters | |
---|---|
accountType |
String!: The type of account to add; must not be null |
authTokenType |
String!: The type of auth token (see #getAuthToken) this account will need to be able to generate, null for none |
requiredFeatures |
Array<String!>!: The features (see hasFeatures ) this account must have, null for none |
addAccountOptions |
Bundle!: Authenticator-specific options for the request, may be null or empty |
activity |
Activity!: The Activity context to use for launching a new authenticator-defined sub-Activity to prompt the user to create an account; used only to call startActivity(); if null, the prompt will not be launched directly, but the necessary Intent will be returned to the caller instead |

addAccountExplicitly
open fun addAccountExplicitly(
account: Account!,
password: String!,
userdata: Bundle!
): Boolean
Adds an account directly to the AccountManager. Normally used by sign-up wizards associated with authenticators, not directly by applications.
Calling this method does not update the last authenticated timestamp, referred by KEY_LAST_AUTHENTICATED_TIME
. To update it, call notifyAccountAuthenticated(android.accounts.Account)
after getting success. However, if this method is called when it is triggered by addAccount() or addAccountAsUser() or similar functions, then there is no need to update timestamp manually as it is updated automatically by framework on successful completion of the mentioned functions.
It is safe to call this method from the main thread.
This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that owns the specified account.
NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS
Parameters | |
---|---|
account |
Account!: The Account to add |
password |
String!: The password to associate with the account, null for none |
userdata |
Bundle!: String values to use for the account's userdata, null for none |
Return | |
---|---|
Boolean |
True if the account was successfully added, false if the account already exists, the account is null, the user is locked, or another error occurs. |
addAccountExplicitly
open fun addAccountExplicitly(
account: Account!,
password: String!,
extras: Bundle!,
visibility: MutableMap<String!, Int!>!
): Boolean
Adds an account directly to the AccountManager. Additionally it specifies Account visibility for given list of packages.
Normally used by sign-up wizards associated with authenticators, not directly by applications.
Calling this method does not update the last authenticated timestamp, referred by KEY_LAST_AUTHENTICATED_TIME
. To update it, call notifyAccountAuthenticated(android.accounts.Account)
after getting success.
It is safe to call this method from the main thread.
This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that owns the specified account.
Parameters | |
---|---|
account |
Account!: The Account to add |
password |
String!: The password to associate with the account, null for none |
extras |
Bundle!: String values to use for the account's userdata, null for none |
visibility |
MutableMap<String!, Int!>!: Map from packageName to visibility values which will be set before account is added. See getAccountVisibility for possible values. Declaring package visibility needs for package names in the map is needed, if the caller is targeting API level 34 and above. |
Return | |
---|---|
Boolean |
True if the account was successfully added, false if the account already exists, the account is null, or another error occurs. |
addOnAccountsUpdatedListener
open fun addOnAccountsUpdatedListener(
listener: OnAccountsUpdateListener!,
handler: Handler!,
updateImmediately: Boolean
): Unit
Adds an OnAccountsUpdateListener
to this instance of the AccountManager
. This listener will be notified whenever user or AbstractAccountAuthenticator made changes to accounts of any type related to the caller. This method is equivalent to addOnAccountsUpdatedListener(listener, handler, updateImmediately, null)
Requires android.Manifest.permission#GET_ACCOUNTS
addOnAccountsUpdatedListener
open fun addOnAccountsUpdatedListener(
listener: OnAccountsUpdateListener!,
handler: Handler!,
updateImmediately: Boolean,
accountTypes: Array<String!>!
): Unit
Adds an OnAccountsUpdateListener
to this instance of the AccountManager
. This listener will be notified whenever user or AbstractAccountAuthenticator made changes to accounts of given types related to the caller - either list of accounts returned by getAccounts()
was changed, or new account was added for which user can grant access to the caller.
As long as this listener is present, the AccountManager instance will not be garbage-collected, and neither will the Context
used to retrieve it, which may be a large Activity instance. To avoid memory leaks, you must remove this listener before then. Normally listeners are added in an Activity or Service's android.app.Activity#onCreate and removed in Activity#onDestroy
.
It is safe to call this method from the main thread.
Parameters | |
---|---|
listener |
OnAccountsUpdateListener!: The listener to send notifications to |
handler |
Handler!: Handler identifying the thread to use for notifications, null for the main thread |
updateImmediately |
Boolean: If true, the listener will be invoked (on the handler thread) right away with the current account list |
accountTypes |
Array<String!>!: If set, only changes to accounts of given types will be reported. |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException |
if listener is null |
java.lang.IllegalStateException |
if listener was already added |
blockingGetAuthToken
open fun blockingGetAuthToken(
account: Account!,
authTokenType: String!,
notifyAuthFailure: Boolean
): String!
This convenience helper synchronously gets an auth token with getAuthToken(android.accounts.Account,java.lang.String,boolean,android.accounts.AccountManagerCallback,android.os.Handler)
.
This method may block while a network request completes, and must never be made from the main thread.
NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, USE_CREDENTIALS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS
Parameters | |
---|---|
account |
Account!: The account to fetch an auth token for |
authTokenType |
String!: The auth token type, see #getAuthToken |
notifyAuthFailure |
Boolean: If true, display a notification and return null if authentication fails; if false, prompt and wait for the user to re-enter correct credentials before returning |
Return | |
---|---|
String! |
An auth token of the specified type for this account, or null if authentication fails or none can be fetched. |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
android.accounts.AuthenticatorException |
if the authenticator failed to respond |
android.accounts.OperationCanceledException |
if the request was canceled for any reason, including the user canceling a credential request |
java.io.IOException |
if the authenticator experienced an I/O problem creating a new auth token, usually because of network trouble |
clearPassword
open fun clearPassword(account: Account!): Unit
Forgets a saved password. This erases the local copy of the password; it does not change the user's account password on the server. Has the same effect as setPassword(account, null) but requires fewer permissions, and may be used by applications or management interfaces to "sign out" from an account.
This method only successfully clear the account's password when the caller has the same signature as the authenticator that owns the specified account. Otherwise, this method will silently fail.
It is safe to call this method from the main thread.
NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, MANAGE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS
Parameters | |
---|---|
account |
Account!: The account whose password to clear |
confirmCredentials
open fun confirmCredentials(
account: Account!,
options: Bundle!,
activity: Activity!,
callback: AccountManagerCallback<Bundle!>!,
handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Bundle!>!
Confirms that the user knows the password for an account to make extra sure they are the owner of the account. The user-entered password can be supplied directly, otherwise the authenticator for this account type prompts the user with the appropriate interface. This method is intended for applications which want extra assurance; for example, the phone lock screen uses this to let the user unlock the phone with an account password if they forget the lock pattern.
If the user-entered password matches a saved password for this account, the request is considered valid; otherwise the authenticator verifies the password (usually by contacting the server).
This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture
must not be used on the main thread.
NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, MANAGE_ACCOUNTS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.MANAGE_ACCOUNTS
Parameters | |
---|---|
account |
Account!: The account to confirm password knowledge for |
options |

getAccountsByTypeForPackage
open fun getAccountsByTypeForPackage(
type: String!,
packageName: String!
): Array<Account!>
Returns the accounts visible to the specified package in an environment where some apps are not authorized to view all accounts. This method can only be called by system apps and authenticators managing the type. Beginning API level android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#O
it also return accounts which user can make visible to the application (see VISIBILITY_USER_MANAGED_VISIBLE
).
Parameters | |
---|---|
type |
String!: The type of accounts to return, null to retrieve all accounts |
packageName |
String!: The package name of the app for which the accounts are to be returned |
Return | |
---|---|

getAuthToken
open fun getAuthToken(
account: Account!,
authTokenType: String!,
options: Bundle!,
activity: Activity!,
callback: AccountManagerCallback<Bundle!>!,
handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Bundle!>!
Gets an auth token of the specified type for a particular account, prompting the user for credentials if necessary. This method is intended for applications running in the foreground where it makes sense to ask the user directly for a password.
If a previously generated auth token is cached for this account and type, then it is returned. Otherwise, if a saved password is available, it is sent to the server to generate a new auth token. Otherwise, the user is prompted to enter a password.
Some authenticators have auth token types, whose value is authenticator-dependent. Some services use different token types to access different functionality -- for example, Google uses different auth tokens to access Gmail and Google Calendar for the same account.
NOTE: If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, USE_CREDENTIALS permission is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
This method may be called from any thread, but the returned AccountManagerFuture
must not be used on the main thread.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.USE_CREDENTIALS
Parameters | |
---|---|
account |
Account!: The account to fetch an auth token for |
authTokenType |
String!: The auth token type, an authenticator-dependent string token, must not be null |
options |
Bundle!: Authenticator-specific options for the request, may be null or empty |
activity |
Activity!: The Activity context to use for launching a new authenticator-defined sub-Activity to prompt the user for a password if necessary; used only to call startActivity(); must not be null. |

callback: AccountManagerCallback<Bundle!>!,
handler: Handler!
): AccountManagerFuture<Bundle!>!
Deprecated: use getAuthToken(android.accounts.Account,java.lang.String,android.os.Bundle,boolean,android.accounts.AccountManagerCallback,android.os.Handler)
instead
Gets an auth token of the specified type for a particular account, optionally raising a notification if the user must enter credentials. This method is intended for background tasks and services where the user should not be immediately interrupted with a password prompt.
If a previously generated auth token is cached for this account and type, then it is returned. Otherwise, if a saved password is available, it is sent to the server to generate a new auth token. Otherwise, an Intent
is returned which, when started, will prompt the user for a password. If the notifyAuthFailure parameter is set, a status bar notification is also created with the same Intent, alerting the user that they need to enter a password at some point.
In that case, you may need to wait until the user responds, which could take hours or days or forever. When the user does respond and supply a new password, the account manager will broadcast the LOGIN_ACCOUNTS_CHANGED_ACTION
Intent and notify OnAccountsUpdateListener
which applications can use to try again.
If notifyAuthFailure is not set, it is the application's responsibility to launch the returned Intent at some point. Either way, the result from this call will not wait for user action.
Some authenticators have auth token types, whose value is authenticator-dependent. Some services use different token types to access different functionality -- for example, Google uses different auth tokens to access Gmail and Google Calendar for the same account.

allowableAccountTypes: Array<String!>!,
descriptionOverrideText: String!,
addAccountAuthTokenType: String!,
addAccountRequiredFeatures: Array<String!>!,
addAccountOptions: Bundle!
): Intent!
Returns an intent to an Activity
that prompts the user to choose from a list of accounts. The caller will then typically start the activity by calling startActivityForResult(intent, ...);
.
On success the activity returns a Bundle with the account name and type specified using keys KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME
and KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE
. Chosen account is marked as VISIBILITY_USER_MANAGED_VISIBLE
to the caller (see setAccountVisibility
) and will be returned to it in consequent getAccountsByType
) calls.
The most common case is to call this with one account type, e.g.:
newChooseAccountIntent(null, null, new String[]{"com.google"}, null, null, null, null);

MutableList<Account!>!: an optional List of accounts that are allowed to be shown. If not specified then this field will not limit the displayed accounts. |
allowableAccountTypes |
Array<String!>!: an optional string array of account types. These are used both to filter the shown accounts and to filter the list of account types that are shown when adding an account. If not specified then this field will not limit the displayed account types when adding an account. |
descriptionOverrideText |
String!: if non-null this string is used as the description in the accounts chooser screen rather than the default |
addAccountAuthTokenType |
String!: this string is passed as the addAccount authTokenType parameter |

Bundle!: This Bundle is passed as the addAccount options parameter |
Return | |
---|---|
Intent! |
an Intent that can be used to launch the ChooseAccount activity flow. |
notifyAccountAuthenticated
open fun notifyAccountAuthenticated(account: Account!): Boolean
Notifies the system that the account has just been authenticated. This information may be used by other applications to verify the account. This should be called only when the user has entered correct credentials for the account.
It is not safe to call this method from the main thread. As such, call it from another thread.
This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that owns the specified account.
Requires android.Manifest.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS
Parameters | |
---|---|
account |
Account!: The Account to be updated. |
