ANDROID : Share session between Webview and httpclient

by

So , this is what I did and it worked for me – 

HttpRequestBase request = new HttpGet(uri);
request.addHeader("Cookie", getCookieFromAppCookieManager(uri.toString()));

Now the implmentation for the getCookieFromAppCookieManager is as follows –
The method gets the cookies for a given URL from the application CookieManager. The application CookieManager manages the cookies used by an application’s WebView instances.

@param url the URL for which the cookies are requested
@return value the cookies as a string, using the format of the 'Cookie' HTTP request header
@throws MalformedURLException


public static String getCookieFromAppCookieManager(String url) throws MalformedURLException {
    CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
    if (cookieManager == null)
        return null;
    String rawCookieHeader = null;
    URL parsedURL = new URL(url);

    // Extract Set-Cookie header value from Android app CookieManager for this URL
    rawCookieHeader = cookieManager.getCookie(parsedURL.getHost());
    if (rawCookieHeader == null)
        return null;
    return rawCookieHeader;
}
