Android :: WebView And Cookies ?
Apr 2, 2010
I have an application on appspot that works fine through regular browser, however when used through Android WebView, it cannot set and read cookies. I am not trying to get cookies "outside" this web application BTW, once the URL is visited by WebView, all processing, ids, etc. can stay there, all I need is session management inside that application. First screen also loads fine, so I know WebView + server interactivity is not broken.
I looked at WebSettings class, there was no call like setEnableCookies.
I load url like this:

Is there a way to get the current content of a WebView? What about Cookies for a specific host+url?

An Android app I am building requires web authentication for users to make data calls. In Adobe AIR and later the iPhone, we did this by rendering a login page in a webview-equivalent page and setting a cookie when the user signs in. Subsequent data calls use the same Cookie Jar and so are seen as authenticated.
In the Android version, I authenticate the user using a WebView and then once thats done, I make a data call using DefaultHttpClient, however I cant seem to load the data on the second call.
Is there some cookie gotcha I am missing? I imagine the HTTPClient and WebView would share the same Cookie space.

In my Android app, each activity is filled with data from an xml file which is somewhere on the web. The website providing these files has a login mechanism, that works with cookies.
I know how to make a HTTP Request to the login page and receive a cookie. What I don't know is, how I can store it to re-use it in both other activities AND when the app is started the next time. The cookie is valid for a year, so the user of my app should log in once and then never again for a whole year.
How do I do that? I googled a lot, but either I used the wrong keywords or there are no simple solutions on the internet.

I am trying to login to a site and maintain that session/cookie so that the server will recognize my login, but I am struggling to figure out a way of extracting the cookie from the response and setting into a request to maintain my login. I'm wondering if I should go about taking the header "Set-Cookie" or using a CookieStore. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here is my code that I have, with comments where I think the getHeader/getCookie methods would go.
CODE:.......
In hopes of others better understanding my confusion am adding code that I know DOES work and maintains a session but when I tried to move the code into my actual application it broke somewhere down the line.
CODE:...............
I know for a fact it works, and you can see that in this code I consumeContent() but adding that to the top code didn't seem to make a difference so I left it out.
I am still unable to get the code working in keeping a session going. I am posting the cookies from my current code, along with the cookies of the second code that is working. Perhaps someone will notice an issue, I certainly do not.
CODE:............

I'm developing an app that logs into a web site. To do this I use the HttpClient object.
I noticed I could get all the cookies from the post requests with the HttClient.getCookieStore method, the question is however how I save these cookies so the next time the app is started, the user don't have to log in.
I should also mention that while the login was post request, rest of the site is mostly get requests, does this effect how the cookies are managed at all?

Now, since Cookie does not implement serializeable, I can't serialize that List.

My goal is to use the DefaultHttpClient with persistent cookies.

I got the solution of get back to the first activity by pressing previous button without changing data of first activity. Now, the user will enter his credentials. When he click to proceed further, the credential details will directly go to the server and server gives response with the cookie and that cookies should be store in my phone for the usage for the future. It means that when the user again run the application he should directly logged in into the application, e.g., www.mail.yahoo.com.

I'd like to make an http request to a remote server while properly handling cookies (eg. storing cookies sent by the server, and sending those cookies when I make subsequent requests). It'd be nice to preserve any and all cookies, but really the only one I care about is the session cookie.
With java.net, it appears that the preferred way to do this is using java.net.CookieHandler (abstract base class) and java.net.CookieManager (concrete implementation). Android has java.net.CookieHandler, but it does not seem to have java.net.CookieManager.
I could code it all by hand by inspecting http headers, but it seems like there must be an easier way.
What is the proper way to make http requests on Android while preserving cookies?

I'm developing an app using android 2.1. I have a problem with using session cookies to login to a RESTful web service. The code works fine on the emulator, but when I run it on my HTC Magic, the cookie logic doesn't work. I've confirmed that the magic is receiving cookies in the headers by listing them (see attached). Can anyone say why the cookie store would be empty even tho they are in the headers?

Many people don't realize that they have two kinds of "cookies" on their computer. We all know about the familiar ones that web pages can place on our PC's and which we can see and delete with our browsers.But there's another more insidious kind which can be placed on your computer via Flash. These are called Flash Shared Objects, or sometimes "flash cookies" and they were disigned to provide inter-session persistency but are, in practice, used the same way cookies are. On a PC they're found in C:Documents and Settings***user***Application DataMacromediaFlash Player#SharedObjects and/or C:Documents and Settings***user***Application DataMacromediaFlash Playermacromedia.comsupportflashplayersys. They are a huge privacy violation.Browsers do not normally delete these although you can get a plugin for Firefox that does.My Question: Now that Android supports Flash, how do we get rid of these things from our Android devices?

We have a webpage which include two different CSS: portrait.css and landscape.css. We want load this page only once and enable the right CSS according to phone's orientation. We have a plan to develop a chrome plugin by c++ to make it which got us to have to change firmware. I just wonder whether there is more elegant way to do it by Java.

I have a webview and I am using android:configChanges="orientation" to restrain the webview from reloading everytime the orientation changes.I also have two different folders layout-port and layout-land to define the layouts for different orientations.If I use android:configChanges="orientation" then the above two folders are ignored. Can I have both working at the same time?

I am seeing an annoying bug in WebView on the G1.I have a WebView that displays an HTML page. When the user clicks on a link, the link's text is highlighted.At this point, I call WebView.clearView(), and then WebView.loadDataWithBaseURL() to load the URL that the user has just clicked on.When the new page finally shows, the WebView somehow still remembers the previous highlight area. If the user clicks on the WebView again, a "phantom highlight" at the old location will flash quickly.The phantom highlight also appears when the user moves the trackball.

Are there currently any plans to replace AbsoluteLayout in in WebView? I need to place native controls based on the coordinates of elements in the WebView. I'm currently using a separate View to manage the layer, but I'd prefer to override the layout in WebView.
