I have implemented the AccountManager workflow to add accounts to my service in the standard Android settings screen.
In typical Android devices, I successfully get my App's icon, settings, login workflow, etc. in the "Accounts" section of the settings screen, and I am able to add accounts.
However, in an Amazon Kindle HDX, even though the API exists, and in my App details I can see the permissions are identified (android.permission.AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS, ...), I can't find the AccountManager anywhere in the settings screen. Everything seems related to Amazon authentication. The closest thing is "Social Network Accounts" under "My Account", but only displays Facebook and Twitter, and seems a proprietary account manager rather than Android's.
Does anybody know if
- The standard Account list exists in Kindle HDX?
- The AccountManager API is the way to go? or shall I write a custom account dialog in case the App is running on a Kindle?
Regarding the second question, Amazon claims the API is supported https://forums.developer.amazon.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=906 but if accounts can't be listed or managed, I suppose it's better to use a proprietary approach. Am I wrong?
