Java – Retrieves email from a Google Plus account on an Android application

So, I let users sign in to their Google+ accounts on my app. Now I can get their profile URL and display name. What I want to do now is receive their emails. I’m not sure how to get this information. I’ve added scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.profile.emails.read and it successfully requests my permission to access my email when I sign in. I’m just not sure how to retrieve user emails right now.

For usernames, I do this :

String currentPersonName = mPlusClient.getCurrentPerson().getDisplayName();

So basically what I want to do is this:

String currentPersonEmail = mPlusClient.getCurrentPerson().getEmail();

But apparently this is not the right approach. Does anyone know how to get emails? Thank you.

Get the user’s email address:

 private GoogleApiClient mGoogleApiClient;

mGoogleApiClient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(this)
            .addConnectionCallbacks(this)
            .addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
            .addApi(Plus.API, null)
            .addScope(Plus.SCOPE_PLUS_LOGIN)
            .build();

emailAddr = Plus.AccountApi.getAccountName(mGoogleApiClient);

Another way is to query the plus.profile.emails.read scope of Google+ (as you did), but instead of displayName, look for jsons of type “emails”, see code example here .
