Pass Selected Account to other activities

In my android application I use account manager. If there are multiple accounts, I ask to the user to select one account using accountManager.newChooseAccountIntent. How can I remember this selection for the next time in login form and other activities?

Here you go:

1. Launch the intent to show account selection dialog to the user-

public static final int CHOOSE_ACCOUNT_REQUEST_CODE = 0;
private String mEmail; 

Intent intent = AccountManager.newChooseAccountIntent(null, null,
    new String[] { acc_type }, true, null, null, null, null);
startActivityForResult(intent, CHOOSE_ACCOUNT_REQUEST_CODE);

2. Get the result inside onActivityResult -

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent   
data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_PICK_ACCOUNT) {

    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {

        mEmail = data.getStringExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME);

    } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
        // The account picker dialog closed without selecting an account.
        // Notify users that they must pick an account to proceed.

    }
}

}

3. You can then store the mEmail in Shared Preference to access within the application:

SharedPreferences sharedPreferences =    
context.getSharedPreferences("app_pref", MODE_PRIVATE);

editor = sharedPreferences.edit();

editor.putBoolean("Email", mEmail);

editor.commit();

4. To access the stored email from shared preference:

String email = sharedPreferences.getString("Email", "Use a default value");
