    How To Enable Cookies in Android Webview - Stack Overflow PDF

    The document discusses how to enable cookies in a specific Android webview when multiple webviews are used on a single activity. The CookieManager class enables cookies for all webviews by default, so the key is to initialize the target webview before enabling cookies via CookieManager. Calling CookieManager.setAcceptCookie(true) after initializing the target webview will enable cookies only for that webview.

    How to enable cookies in android webview?

    13

    android

    webview

    how do i enable cookies in a webview?


    i tried to use
    CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptCookie(true);

    just before calling WebView.loadUrl() and it doesnt work as i get a html page error from a website saying cookies need to be enabled.
    What i dont understand is how does cookieManager know which webview to enable cookies?
    say if i had a activity with two webviews in the screen and i only wanted one of those webviews to enable cookies, how is that possible using a
    CookieManager?
    i feel like i am missing something? i could not find a method like webView.setCookieManager or Cookiemanager.setWebView(webview)
    Thanks

    CookieManager.getInstance() is the CookieManager instance for your entire application. Hence, you enable or disable cookies for all the webviews in

    your application.

    Normally it should work if your webview is already initialized:


    http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/CookieManager.html#getInstance()
    Maybe you call CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptCookie(true); before you initialize your webview and this is the problem?

    My problem is that the webview does not send the cookie already living in the store. How do you make webview send the cookie? I am initializing webview after
    CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptCookie(true); Am I missing something? kalehv Aug 18 '15 at 16:19
