Add Account for Microsoft Exchange Activesync

Hi All,

In Samsung Z1 phone we have Microsoft Exchange Sctivesync Application.

In Settings > Accounts > Add section we have option to add account in Microsoft Exchange Sctivesync.

Which will open MS Exchange App and we add account information there.

Is there any way we can add account for MS Exchange using Account Manager APIs?

Thank you.

Hi,

According to the description, this account manager can have the collection of account information.  I think that we can add the account of Exchange to Account service.

            The account APIs provide CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) account management functionality.

I found the turorial of account manager and you can refer to this.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I found only two sync capabilities contacts and calender so far. Will this account sync Emails also?

In Active sync we have option to set if we want to use SSL or client certificate. How can we set these options using available account manager APIs?

Thank you.

Hi,

This is the capability for email. so you can try to use this option for Exchange Activesync.

#define  ACCOUNT_SUPPORTS_CAPABILITY_EMAIL   "http://tizen.org/account/capability/email"
  This is email capability string.
 

I think that you can store such option to user data of account by this API to Account database.

int account_update_to_db_by_id  ( account_h  account, 
     int  account_id 
 )

I wish this will help you.

Hi Daniel,

I have gone through the account manager tutorial.

Actually I want to add account in Microsoft ActiveSync App.

So I will send operation ACCOUNT_OPERATION_SIGNIN and it will promt UI of MS Exchange to add account. 

I do not want to prompt user to fill all account details instead I want to send all data in extra data and MS Exchange will add account for that user in background.

Can that be possible?

I checked in Android and its possible but I have not yet found way in Tizen.

Thank you.

Hi Dharmesh Guna,

 

It is impossible to add EAS account without UI of MS Exchange.
