java.lang.IllegalStateException: CookieSyncManager::createInstance() needs to be called before CookieSyncManager::getInstance()

Question

I am trying to get cookies in webview on shouldOverrideUrlLoading() method and i got this error. Please have a look at my code below,

WebViewClient loginClient = new WebViewClient() {
        @Override
        public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {

            CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
            final String cookie = cookieManager.getCookie(url);

            //Some Code after this
        }
 }

And i m getting this error,

java.lang.IllegalStateException: CookieSyncManager::createInstance() needs to be called before CookieSyncManager::getInstance()

Answer 1

Use CookieSyncManager.createInstance(this); in your Activity's onCreate() Method. The error clearly says createInstance() need to be called before calling getInstance().
