Where to find / browse cookies in app data folder?

I have my app ("myapp") with following example package signature: com.example.mycorp.myapp
I browsed via adb shell the app folder /data/data/com.example.mycorp.myapp/ to find any cookies - in vain.
Since I have WebView objects showing external links (html) and Google Login as an example, there should be some cookies created (at least iOS colleagues have there cookies on the same app for iOS).
So where are can I find any cookies regarding my own app?

Programmatically by means of CookieManager:
Memeber variable
private CookieManager cookieManager = null;
In a onCreate() or another constructor
cookieManager = new CookieManager();
cookieManager.setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.ACCEPT_ALL);
CookieHandler.setDefault(cookieManager);
A checkCookies() Method which can be triggered frequently
List<HttpCokie> cookies = cookieManager.getCookieStore().getCookies();
Now, iterate through cookies and print them out.

If you want to get the cookie value you can use this:
CookieManager.getInstance().getCookie("http://the.url.com")
More help will be provided here:

Oauth2 Redirect URI for android application

I have created my own webservice which is protected by Oauth2. I am currently using restlet for this. It makes sense providing a redirect url when you are developing a javascript client on a certain url, but what redirect uri do you provide when you are calling from a WebView.
I currently just make it redirect to localhost and register that to the oauth authorization server. Can anyone tell me if that is the correct way of handling this or am I getting this completely wrong? The redirect page can ofcourse not be found on the android device, but you can fetch the token from the url which was appended to the localhost url.

you can make your own URL schema and use it for redirect URL check this link for customize your schema

getting trouble to set cookie android.webkit.CookieManager

i have login to a site through WebView. then i have get cookie which is set by the webview at login time. then i have tried to set the cookie later. please see my code:
CookieSyncManager.createInstance(context);
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
Log.e("checkPost 1", cookie);
cookieManager.setCookie("https://************", cookie);
Log.e("checkPost 2", cookieManager.getCookie("https://*************"));
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().sync();
Log.e("checkPost 3", cookieManager.getCookie("https://*************"));
in checkPost 1 printed cookie shows that it is fine. but in checkPost 2 and after sync() it by CookieSyncManager.getInstance().sync(); statement, the checkPost 3 shows that most of the cookie is vanished. what is the problem ? i need to set the cookie. but i could not find a way spending about 2 days.
Edit:
in android documentation it says that:
public void setCookie (String url, String value)
Sets a cookie for the given URL. Any existing cookie with the same
host, path and name will be replaced with the new cookie. The cookie
being set must not have expired and must not be a session cookie,
otherwise it will be ignored.
is there any way to force CookieManager set session cookie via setCookie() ?
i think the problem is, may be i am trying to set session cookie

i don't know there is any answer or not for my question. but for my purpose i have use another way to solve my problem. it's a long process, but it works. i have given up the idea to save session cookie in CookieManager (which is not possible by the document of Android Developer site). So, what i have done is: i have converted the session cookie in string and save them in memory. for later use i just take the string from memory and convert it back to session cookie.
Edit:
(For negative voters) I have told in my answer that the process is too long, like 4-5 classes. and this project was my first project in android so the codes are too messy. all the class is full of too much code. so it is impossible to post it here. i have told the process i have used. so why negative vote?
i have converted the session in my own way and build the string to session in reverse way.
if there is any way i would post the answer. it take me about 15~20 days to build the classes and algorithms. so why not you do some Google and find a better way, or just simply build your own algorithm and process like mine. i have told the key part here, you just need to find a way to implement it into code. Thanks

Android WebView HTML with cookies

I am trying to pull HTML data out of a WebView. I've seen this done a thousand times and I've even gotten it to work myself. However, my new project leads to an interesting situation: I need to login to a site through a WebView and then pull the HTML. Obviously, the Socket method doesn't work, because in order for a webpage to be returned you need the cookie for authentication. I've also tried the JavascriptInterface trick, but that didn't work either. I'm thinking the best way to achieve this is to use HttpGet with CookieManager? Does anyone know how I can get raw HTML code from a WebView with an auth cookie? Thanks!
EDIT: I did some JS injection and didn't see any cookies... so it might not be a cookie issue? But the links that you get redirected to are generic, like mainPage?a=1 and infoPage. You cannot simply copy/paste the links into another browser you have to be logged in to view these links. For those of you who are web experts, you may know an easy solution.

WebView isn't really meant for getting HTML for programmatic use, the idea is that it's just a direct window to a URL for user interaction.
To get what you want, you can use a java.net.HttpURLConnection with a CookieManager, it's worked fine for me on Android and it's suggested in the Android SDK docs:
// in an activity's onCreate:
cookieManager = new CookieManager();
CookieHandler.setDefault(cookieManager);
// later on
void getAPage(URL url) {
HttpURLConnection huc = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
System.out.println("hello from huc, response code is: " + huc.getResponseCode());
// huc.getInputStream() gives you the content.
}
The CookieManager will persist all cookies through the lifetime of the application without you having to do anything extra. You can make posts with HttpURLConnection too.

Passing cookies with PhoneGap's FileTransfer

The problem with jquery.cookie and others is that they seem to work well for $.ajax(), but not for PhoneGap's FileTransfer. I have been banging my head on an issue, where I have to pass cookies along with a file. I can access and store the cookies after authentication, but they don't get passed along when I then try to post a file with FileTransfer.
Is there a way to prod FileTransfer to send cookies along?
I am developing mostly for Android.

You can do this by just setting cookies in the document.cookie.
