Pass cookie to browser via Intent

Question

I have saved a cookie in android. Now I want to pass it into my browser intent. Look at my current code:

Intent browser = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW",
                            Uri.parse("http://mypage.php/memberpagethatrequireacookie.php"));
//putExtra cannot take these arguments -> browser.putExtra("org.apache.http.cookie.Cookie", cookie);
startActivity(browser);

I want it to store temporarily in my browser so my member page loads successfully. My cookie are successfully created from the HTTP request and I assign it to a List<Cookie> cookie; Tell me if I should provide some more code.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The Browser has no documented Intent extras, let alone one that would allow you to inject a cookie. And, of course, the user might be using a different browser.

You are welcome to use WebView in your application, and you can use the CookieManager to inject your cookie into the WebView's environment.
