/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override

setContentView(R.layout.main);

login.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

}
});
}
private void loginAction(){

unameProp.setName("userName");//Define the variable name in the web service method
unameProp.setValue(user_Name);//set value for userName variable

//Pass value for Password variable of the web service
PropertyInfo passwordProp =new PropertyInfo();
passwordProp.setName("password");
passwordProp.setValue(user_Password);

SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);
HttpTransportSE androidHttpTransport = new HttpTransportSE(URL);
try{
androidHttpTransport.call(SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
SoapPrimitive response = (SoapPrimitive)envelope.getResponse();
TextView result = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_status);
result.setText(response.toString());
if(status.equals("Success!"))
{
// ADD to save and read next time

}
if(isUserValidated = true && isPasswordValidated == true)
{
if (chkRememberMe.isChecked())
{
SharedPreferences loginPreferences = getSharedPreferences(SPF_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
loginPreferences.edit().putString(USERNAME, strUserName).putString(PASSWORD, strPassword).commit();
} else
{
SharedPreferences loginPreferences = getSharedPreferences(SPF_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
loginPreferences.edit().clear().commit();
}
}
if(isUserValidated && isPasswordValidated)
{
Intent intent = new Intent(Login.this,HomePage.class);
**intent.putExtra("username",userName.getText().toString());**
startActivity(intent);
}
else
{
// what ever you want to do if the data in the EditText is not validated.
//Maybe restart the same intent ?
// Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Login.class); startActivity(i);
}
}
else
{
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Login.class);
startActivity(i);
}
}
catch(Exception e){
}
}
}
How is make session concepts using shared preferences in dis android login form application.
Thank You
You can easily implement this, if you use SharedPreferences and the Activities lifecycle.
Let's say you have Activity A - the display loging Activity, and Activity B - the logout Activity + display username Activity.
In Activity A, in your loginAction() method, put a boolean flag to track if the user is logged. If the user is valid, perform the login actions, set that flag to TRUE, than start your Activity B.
In Activity B in the onResume() method, make a check each time, if the flag is TRUE or FALSE. If the flag is TRUE do nothing, if the flag is FALSE start Activity A (back to login screen). Something like:
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
boolean isLogged = <yourSharedPrefs>.getBoolean(IS_LOGGED, Boolean.FALSE);
if (!isLogged) {
//here start your login Activity
startActivity(new Intent(this, ActivityA.class));
}
}
The logout button in Activity B, should set the flag to FALSE and than start Activity A.
This way when you click the back button, your app will load Activity B, but the check in onResume() will detect that the user is not logged, and Activity A will be started.
