Android - extracting cookies after login in webview

Question

I have an application that opens a url in a webview, the user must then login to a site through the webview and receives a cookie once logged in. I'm having problems getting cookies after login.

The problem is, I can achieve this using android.webkit.CookieManager, and output all cookies in a single string.

However, I want to achieve it using the a cookie store (as in java.net.CookieStore) so I need to be using java.net.CookieManager.

I'm using the following code within the onPageFinished() of a WebViewClient. I know the issue is with opening a new connection, where I need to be getting the content from the current page. I'd appreciate some help, thanks

        @Override         public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url){              Log.d(TAG, "Finished loading: " + url);              CookieSyncManager syncManager = CookieSyncManager.createInstance(Main.this);             syncManager.sync();              CookieManager manager = new CookieManager();             manager.setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.ACCEPT_ALL);             CookieHandler.setDefault(manager);              try {                 URL blah = new URL(url);                 HttpURLConnection con = (HttpURLConnection) blah.openConnection();                 readStream(con.getInputStream()); // outputting html             }              catch (Exception e) {             }              CookieStore cookieJar = manager.getCookieStore();             List<HttpCookie> cookies = cookieJar.getCookies();              for (HttpCookie cookie: cookies) {                 Log.d(TAG, "cookie name : "+cookie.getName().toString());             }         } 

Answer 1

You can extract all cookies current url by this way from webview as string:

@Override public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url){     String cookies = CookieManager.getInstance().getCookie(url);     Log.d(TAG, "All the cookies in a string:" + cookies); } 

Answer 2

It was a quite late , but it might help someone

you can get the cookie value using this

getCookie("http://www.example.com","cookieName"); 

Declare the function as

public String getCookie(String siteName,String cookieName){          String CookieValue = null;      CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();     String cookies = cookieManager.getCookie(siteName);            String[] temp=cookies.split(";");     for (String ar1 : temp ){         if(ar1.contains(cookieName)){             String[] temp1=ar1.split("=");             CookieValue = temp1[1];             break;         }     }                   return CookieValue;  }
