  • Answer for my question simple and easy way to put device email into edittext

        mEmailView = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.email);
    Pattern emailPattern = Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS; // API level 8+
    android.accounts.Account[] accounts = AccountManager.get(getBaseContext()).getAccounts();
    for (android.accounts.Account account : accounts) {
    if (emailPattern.matcher(account.name).matches()) {
    possibleEmail = account.name;
