The cookie value shows, but doesn't get logged in - WebView inject cookie

Question

Hello! I have trouble passing the cookie into the WebView inject. I know how to inject the cookie. When the cookie is injected I want to display a member.php and this page requires a cookie. It shows me the error page even if I've injected the cookie.

The WebView are correctly loaded and I've tried to set a cookie using the CookieManager class. Alll this is known to me.

From the CookieStore I have tried to print out the whole cookie itself; which prints this:

[[version: 0][name:SQMSESSID][value: 9166729532c975f261bda9e6e583bdba]
[domain: mydomain.com][path: /][expiry: null], [version: 0][name: key]
[value: vrckNRab][domain: mydomain.com][path: /][expiry: null]]

Should be mentioned that the code above is the successful CookieStore when I have passed my correct username and password.

My inject + loadUrl code:

CookieStore cookie = /* CookieStore cookie takes a CookieStore from my 
own function that succesful returns the CookieStore */
List<Cookie> listcookie = cookie.getCookies(); //Set my CookieStore to a list
Cookie setcookieOne = listcookie.get(0) //My cookie has two fields
Cookie setcookieTwo = listcookie.get(1) //....and assign these to a cookie

 CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance(); 
CookieSyncManager.createInstance(getApplicationContext());
cookieManager.setAcceptCookie(true);
 cookieManager.setCookie(setcookieOne.getDomain(), setcookieOne.getValue()); 
    cookieManager.setCookie(setcookieTwo.getDomain(), setcookieTwo.getValue()); 
  CookieSyncManager.getInstance().sync();
browse.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient(){
}); 
browse.loadUrl("http://mypagethatwillredirectmeonacorrectcookie.php"); /* This
page will redirect if the cookie is successful */

Any ideas why it doesn't show the member.php?

Answer 1

First, make sure that getValue() on a Cookie returns what setCookie() on a CookieManager requires. CookieManager needs "The value for set-cookie: in http response header"; Cookie's getValue() I suspect returns only the actual value (9166729532c975f261bda9e6e583bdba in your example).

Second, never use getApplicationContext(), particularly for GUI operations. Use your Activity instead, since Activity is a subclass of Context.
