Remarks

Rename the specified Account. This is equivalent to removing the existing account and adding a new renamed account with the old account's user data.

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.
