Hi, AccountManager class is supported on all new Kindle Fire devices (Kindle Fire 2nd Gen, Kindle Fire HD7 and Kindle Fire HD8.9). Using AccountManager class to return Gmail accounts can differ between Kindle Fire devices and non-Amazon devices. For example: On non-Amazon devices Account[] accountsOnDevice = AccountManager.get(this).getAccountsByType("com.google"); On Kindle Fire devices Account[] accountsOnDevice = AccountManager.get(this).getAccountsByType("com.amazon.pim.account.google"); For Kindle Fire devices getAccountsByType() argument will be "com.amazon.pim.account.google"

Actually, for Fire devices: As the user can setup all sorts of different email accounts, such as Yahoo, Google, etc, for Kindle Fire devices getAccountsByType() argument will be "com.amazon.pim" The user name will be in type "com.amazon.account"
