How to get the phone user's name?

Question

My application needs the user's display name. In System Settings, under the Users section, I can see my name. That would be fine for my app. How can I get that or a similar string?

Several suggestions to how to do this I found on Stack Overflow did not work for me.

• AccountManager returns only the email address, which I don't need.
• ContactsContract.Contacts contains only other people data.
• ContactsContract.Profile seems to be empty.
• ContactsContract.Data doesn't containt that name I need.
• I wouldn't use oAuth or such login services. My app doesn't need account management, it just needs a name of the phone owner.

Answer 1

You can get users email with GET_ACCOUTNS permission but for getting User Name you need to implement some OAuth to access User's Name and other profile informations.

One way is to user Google Sign-in developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/people

Answer 2

use String getUserName () method Returns the user name of the user making this call. This call is only available to applications on the system image; it requires the MANAGE_USERS permission.
