The Account to delete.

True if the account was successfully deleted, false if the account did not exist, the account is null, or another error occurs.

Attributes: RegisterAttribute RequiresPermissionAttribute

Remarks

Removes an account directly. Normally used by authenticators, not directly by applications. Does not delete the account from the server. The authenticator may have its own policies preventing account deletion, in which case the account will not be deleted.

It is safe to call this method from the main thread.

This method requires the caller to have a signature match with the authenticator that manages the specified account.

<b>NOTE:</b> If targeting your app to work on API level 22 and before, AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS permission and same UID as account's authenticator is needed for those platforms. See docs for this function in API level 22.
