How to maintain session in android?


Can anybody tell me how to maintain session for a user login. For example when the user sign- in to an application they have to be signed in unless the user logouts or uninstall the application similar to gmail in android.


Solution

  • Make one class for your SharedPreferences

    public class Session {
    
        private SharedPreferences prefs;
    
        public Session(Context cntx) {
            // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
            prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(cntx);
        }
    
        public void setusename(String usename) {
            prefs.edit().putString("usename", usename).commit();
        }
    
        public String getusename() {
            String usename = prefs.getString("usename","");
            return usename;
        }
    }
    

    Now after making this class when you want to use it, use like this: make object of this class like

    private Session session;//global variable 
    session = new Session(cntx); //in oncreate 
    //and now we set sharedpreference then use this like
    
    session.setusename("USERNAME");
    

    now whenever you want to get the username then same work is to be done for session object and call this

    session.getusename();
    

    Do same for password
