Sigin my app with Google Account in Android

I have learned that there are many ways to sign in app with Google Account. Here are two ways:

  1. Use AccountManager.java , GOOD: can get user's email address and authToken. BAD: can not get user's avatar and nickname.

  2. Use Google+ Api: GOOD: can get user's all info , but email address. BAD: no email address, and the view's style is not matching to my app.

QUESTION:

1 .How can i get avatar and nickname by using only AccountManager ?

  1. Is the Google+ Api's view be changed ? Any documents?

Thanks for any help!

You can get the Email address via the Google+ API. You need to add the appropriate scopes and permission.

The scopes are

Scopes.PROFILE
Scopes.EMAIL

And you need the following permission

android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS

Then you can retrieve the Email address with the AccountApi

Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(googleApiClient)
