Answer 1

Even though its an old question, I think its worth to answer. I struggled a lot to find a way to fetch user email address from linkedin using linkedin-j-android library. Unfortunately I could not find any ready to use solution, so I made changes in the library sources and re-packaged it to use in my app. You can download the library from this link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46373731/linkedin-j-android.jar

You can use ProfileField.EMAIL_ADDRESS to fetch email-address.
