Java android - CookieHandler - How to keep cookies after closing the app?

Question

To keep cookies after each request in HttpURLConnection, should to add CookieHandler on the app starting:

CookieManager cookieManager = new CookieManager();
CookieHandler.setDefault(cookieManager);

But in the app closing and opening again the cookies are empty... So how to save the cookies after the closing?

Something like save them in the SharedPreferences or in the file and get them back after the opening...

I tryed to keep them using CookieStore, but that's not worked:...

Save:

Settings.Save(c, TAG, cookieManager.getCookieStore().getCookies().toString());

Load:

String load = Settings.Load(c, TAG);
if (load != null) {
    for (HttpCookie hc : HttpCookie.parse(load)) {
        cookieManager.getCookieStore().add(new URI(Data.domain), hc);
    }
}

Thanks..

Yeah, what's wrong with a sharedPreference? They perfectly fit your requirement – Mcmurray

Yes, but how to convert cookies to string and back? but this is no matter, I already got the answer ... – Expressage

Answer 1

The default CookieStore does not persist anything to disk, you need to implement one which does. Here is an example implementation which saves Cookies directly to SharedPreferences.
