Android Question How to translate java (AccountPicker) to B4A ...

[Serway]

Hello,

I'm trying to get user email registered account without the GET_ACCOUNTS permission (android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS).

Is anyone can help to translate into B4A (?) :

public void pickUserAccount() {
    /*This will list all available accounts on device without any filtering*/
    Intent intent = AccountPicker.newChooseAccountIntent(null, null, null, false, null, null, null, null);
    startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_PICK_ACCOUNT);
}
 /*After manually selecting every app related account, I got its Account type using the code below*/
 @Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_PICK_ACCOUNT) {
        // Receiving a result from the AccountPicker
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            System.out.println(data.getStringExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE));
            System.out.println(data.getStringExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME));
        } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
            Toast.makeText(this, R.string.pick_account, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }
}

Thanks,

Code:

Sub ShowPicker
   Dim AccountPicker As JavaObject
   AccountPicker.InitializeStatic("com/google/android/gms/common/AccountPicker".Replace("/", "."))
   Dim i As Intent = AccountPicker.RunMethod("newChooseAccountIntent", Array(Null, Null, Array As String("com.google"), _
       False, Null, Null, Null, Null))
   StartActivityForResult(i)
End Sub


Sub ion_Event (MethodName As String, Args() As Object) As Object
   If Args(0) = -1 Then 'resultCode = RESULT_OK
       Dim data As Intent = Args(1)
       Dim StaticAccountManager As JavaObject
       StaticAccountManager.InitializeStatic("android.accounts.AccountManager")
       Log(data.ExtrasToString)
       Dim Name As String = data.GetExtra(StaticAccountManager.GetField("KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME"))
       Log(Name)
   End If
   Return Null
End Sub

Sub StartActivityForResult(i As Intent)
   Dim jo As JavaObject = GetBA
   ion = jo.CreateEvent("anywheresoftware.b4a.IOnActivityResult", "ion", Null)
   jo.RunMethod("startActivityForResult", Array As Object(ion, i))
End Sub

Sub GetBA As Object
   Dim jo As JavaObject
   Dim cls As String = Me
   cls = cls.SubString("class ".Length)
   jo.InitializeStatic(cls)
   Return jo.GetField("processBA")
End Sub

Hi,

I just need to read the first account.. I don´t need to pick from the accounts

I have a routine into a class, called from different routines along the app
Is it possible to adapt this code for my needs?

Thanks in advance!

I quoted a bit of the documentation in the other thread.
If i remember correctly the quote states that you need to get the access one time using this method. After you got the permission you are allowed to use GET_ACCOUNT.
Did i read that wrong?

 

[pesquera]

Sorry for mix the threads, I thought that here was the solution I was looking for.. I will continue on the another thread.. excuse me for the inconvenience

And I do have AdditionalJar statement

 

[Erel]

Are you testing it on a real device?

 

[Robert Valentino]

Yes. Samsung S7 just upgraded to Android 8.0

 

[Erel]

Are you using B4A Sdk Manager?

 

[Robert Valentino]

I am. But just made sure everything is up to date including tools and it seems to be working.

Sorry should be better at keeping everything updated... But it is summer LOL
