App can create cookie for webview? if possible, it can contain all type of datas? or limited?

I don't know web well. please help me!

P.S. I don't know ios, too. it's policy is same to android?

Solution

  • 1)If you have cookies then you can insert cookies into your webview.

    CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
 if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
                cookieManager.setAcceptThirdPartyCookies(webView, true);
            } else {
                cookieManager.setAcceptCookie(true);
            }
            for (String parse : cookie.split(";")) {
                //  System.out.println("==parse== "+parse);
                cookieManager.setCookie("your_url.com"), parse);
            }
Map<String, String> abc = new HashMap<String, String>();
            abc.put("Cookie", cookie);
webView.loadUrl("your_url.com", abc);

    2)App cannot create cookies for webview. but webview can create cookies for your App.

    String cookies = cookieManager.getCookie("your_url.com");
System.out.println("==cookie== "+cookies);

    I think it will help to understand the web & cookies concept. If you have query just let me know.
