How to use an account using AccountManager across different apps?

I'm trying to create a system like Google where you have a Google-like account that can be used across different apps, even system ones that have android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system" but I haven't been able to figure it out. I didn't want to create an Authenticator activity so I tried to use addAccountExplictly but it gives me an error java.lang.SecurityException: uid 1000 cannot explicitly add accounts of type: com.example.



What is the best way to go about this?



I don't have an activity either, only login dialog / fragment that I could use.
