How to keep session with HttpUrlConnection?

I'm using HttpUrlConnection to perform some http request and I need to keep a session alive.

I read the doc which just say to add

CookieManager cookieManager = new CookieManager();  
CookieHandler.setDefault(cookieManager);

but it does not say where.

Should I add this every time I create a HttpUrlConnection and do a request? I can't find any example...

Solution

  • CookieHandler.setDefault() sets the system-wide cookie handler. You should call it once.
