AccountManager getAuthToken() throwing java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no such account

Question

When I do the following getAuthToken() method call,

final AccountManagerFuture<Bundle> future = AccountManager.get(this)
                .getAuthToken(account, authTokenType, null, this, null, null);

it does work on the device properly, but it throws IllegalArgumentException on the emulator.

I have added all required permissions in the Manifest file.

try this :

AccountManager googleAccountManager = AccountManager.get(this);
final Account[] accounts = googleAccountManager.getAccountsByType("com.google");

This will give you array of google accounts on the device
