Android, how to get a cookie from URL via HttpClient()?


I have a login activity and I have to create a post request for my website to login the user into my mobile app. To create post requests on my website I need the csrf cookie as parameter, it means I have first to get the cookie from my URL and after create my post request with the csrf value.

Here is my code:

        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();

        HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://192.168.178.163:8080/login/");

        try {

            List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(1);
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", "xxx"));
            nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", "yyy"));
            //csrfmiddlewaretoken
            String res = null;

            post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
            HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
            res = response.toString();
            res = res.replaceAll("\\s+","");
            BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));

            String line = "";
            while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {
                Log.i("line", line);
                //System.out.println(line);
                if (line.startsWith("csrftoken=")) {
                    String key = line.substring(5);
                    Log.i("key", key);
                }

            }
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            txt_Error.setText(e.toString());
        }

Any idea how to do it? I already read about CookieSyncManager but I didnt understand at all... Any idea or code sample will be aprreciate


Solution

  • HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://192.168.178.163:8080/login/");
    CookieStore cookieStore = new BasicCookieStore();
    HttpContext context = new BasicHttpContext();
    context.setAttribute(ClientContext.COOKIE_STORE, cookieStore);
    ...
    HttpResponse response = client.execute(post, context);
    List<Cookie> cookies = cookieStore.getCookies();
    CookieMonster.eat(cookies); // :)
