How to Retrieve the Logged in Google Account on Android Phones

How do I retrieve the logged in Google account on android phones?

Something like this should work:

AccountManager manager = (AccountManager) getSystemService(ACCOUNT_SERVICE);
Account[] list = manager.getAccounts();
String gmail = null;

for(Account account: list)
{
    if(account.type.equalsIgnoreCase("com.google"))
    {
        gmail = account.name;
        break;
    }
}

And you will need the following permission in your manifest:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"></uses-permission>

Remember to 'Requesting Permissions at Run Time' if you support Android 6 and later
https://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html

I wrote this from memory so it may need a little tweaking. Apparently it's possible to register now without an email address, so maybe do some regexing on the data to ensure it's actually an email address (ensure it contains @gmail or @googlemail)

How to find Gmail account associated with Android Market?

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.
