How to get the email address of the logged in user?

I know i can do the following to get userid,firstname,lastname by using the static UserInfo class. But there is no method to get Email address. How do i get email address in a controller??

  String userId = UserInfo.getUserId();
  String firstName = UserInfo.getFirstName();
  String lastName = UserInfo.getLastName();

I know i can do {!$User.Email} but that would only be in the visualforce pages.
How do I get the email address of the logged in user in controller.

At this time I don't see a getUserEmail() method for the UserInfo static class.

The workaround is to use a query to get back the email from the username.


Code:
String userName = UserInfo.getUserName();
User activeUser = [Select Email From User where Username = : userName limit 1];
String userEmail = activeUser.Email;

 
Hope this helps

Use the userId, not the userName, if you want it to be completely deterministic.

philbo:

I would agree with you on all other cases that the Id is better except this one.
And in this one it's either or.

Usernames in salesforce.com have to be unique.

that's correct!  (of course)

Hi,

Through this we can get the email of the current loggedin user.
