Obtaining the details of users downloading android app

I am making an app for android with no user login. The app allows people to upload photos anonymously. Since the app has some user generated content I wanted to somehow identify the user without having a login. Basically, is it possible to extract the user details from the app store or uniquely identify each account that downloads and posts things in the app

To identify the device:

with the image posted on your server you can get the device IMEI number and other details.

To identify the user:

you can retrieve the email id of the user who is posting the picture with the image you can get registered emailID from following code 

Account[] accounts = AccountManager.get(context).getAccounts();
String email="";
if(accounts.length > 0)
     email = accounts[0].name;

for this you need following permissions

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