Set cookies programatically in Crosswalk WebView on Android

Question

I need to make Crosswalk on Android (in a Cordova project) use some cookies I gathered via an Apache HttpClient. However I'm not sure how to achieve this. I tried experimenting with the XWalkCookieManager but I think everything I do with the XWalkCookieManager is ignored. Where would I initialize the cookie manager? Is this even supported yet?

//cookieStore contains the cookies I got via a request from the Apache
// HttpClient.
 List<Cookie> cookies = cookieStore.getCookies();
 for (int i = 0; i < cookies.size(); i++) {
     Cookie cookie = cookies.get(i);
     String cookieString = buildCookieStringFromCookie(cookie);

     // This is a XWalkCookieManager I initialized earlier but it doesn't do anything 
     //as far as I can tell.
     cookieManager.setCookie(cookie.getDomain(),cookieString);
 }

I would really appreciate any help, this is the only thing that currently keeps me from using Crosswalk successfully.

I have also tried using the standard Android cookie Manager via CookieManager.getInstance().setCookie(cookie.getDomain(), cookieString); but this seems to be ignored by Crosswalk as well.

Best,

Andreas

//Edit for future reference:

The issue was that Crosswalk expects the cookie url to start with https:// and the native Android webview doesn't (or the other way around, I'm not sure anymore). Now what is working fine is to set the cookie twice, once without https and once with https:

   mCookieManager.setCookie(cookie.getDomain(), cookieString);
   mCookieManager.setCookie("https://" + cookie.getDomain(), cookieString);

You can create an instance of XWalkCookieManager and set the differents cookies in it. It seems to be shared accross the XwalkViews.

// Your can use this inside the onCreate() method
private XWalkCookieManager mCookieManager;
mCookieManager = new XWalkCookieManager();
mCookieManager.setAcceptCookie(true);
mCookieManager.setAcceptFileSchemeCookies(true);

// Pass it to your request executor
httpRequestExecutor.setXWalkCookieManager(mCookieManager);
//You're now able to add your cookies to this manager rather than to your cookieManager

How we extract the cookies from the HttpResponse :

responseHeaders = response.getAllHeaders();
for (int i = 0; i < responseHeaders.length; i++)
{
    Header header = responseHeaders[i];
    if (header.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("set-cookie"))
    {
        mCookieManager.setCookie(request.getUrl(), header.getValue());
    }
}
