how i can load a page in android WebView with cookies?

i have cookies,want to send the cookie to WebView,how i can do?
i use JSOUP to get cookies from login page and i use the follow code but not working
webview.LoadUrl(URL, Cookies)

I had to do something like this a couple of weeks ago. I ditched the webview though and used a recyclerview for the info because of data and ram consumption.
res = Jsoup.connect(url)
.data("user", user, "passwrd", pass)
.method(Connection.Method.POST)
.execute();
String sessionId = res.cookie("PHPSESSID");
The code up there is actually from Jsoup's creator himself on how to store cookies. Then its a matter of setting the cookiemanager to these cookies.
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
cookieManager.setAcceptCookie(true);
cookieManager.setCookie(url,String.format("%s=%s",
"PHPSESSID", sessionId));
Then I just loaded the webview. I think a really important line here is formatting the string in the second parameter of the setCookie() method to match how the cookie is actually a Map with a key and value of PHPSESSID and the cookies characters. PHPSESSID is the id name that shows up for me in the cookie.

DefaultHttpClient post get session cookie and pass to WebView android

I've found a few answers to this question here on SO, but I'm not having success implementing them so hoped that someone could check over my code and tell me where i'm going wrong.
I have verified that my cookie is being set from the DefaultHttpClient and am writing it out with Log.d as you can see in my code snippet below. It's all there, it's just not getting set for the WebView which is called at the bottom of this code segment. The cookie being passed down is a session cookie from my Asp.net mvc project. Any ideas why it's not keeping me logged in when the WebView hits the site? Don't let the facebook wording throw you off, that I all have working, this cookie is for my own server that is passing down a session cookie to keep me logged into my own site (based on my facebook stuff).
Cookie sessionCookie = FacebookLoginService.cookie;
Log.d("intialwebview",sessionCookie.toString());
CookieSyncManager.createInstance(this);
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
if (sessionCookie != null) {
cookieManager.removeSessionCookie();
String cookieString = sessionCookie.getName() + "=" + sessionCookie.getValue() + "; domain=" + sessionCookie.getDomain();
Log.d("intialwebview",cookieString);
cookieManager.setCookie(FacebookLoginService.cookie.getDomain(), cookieString);
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().sync();
}
//end cookie section
int userId = prefs.getInt(C.USER_ID, 0);
webView = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.web_view);
webView.getSettings().setUserAgentString(webView.getSettings().getUserAgentString() + "(Rambo)");
webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
webView.loadUrl(C.BaseUrl + "home/firstpage");
EDIT: I also tried creating the web view in code with:
WebView webView = new WebView(this);
same result. Cookie isn't being sent to the webview.

finally got this sorted by using an Asynctask and running a sleep in the background.

You have used this line -
if (sessionCookie != null) {
cookieManager.removeSessionCookie();
}
To ensure you receive new cookie everytime.
Seems like you have gone through same issue
as I faced, check below link -
removeSessionCookie() issue of android, (code.google.com)
it says that removeSessionCookie() is implemented in a thread, so whenever it is
called; a thread starts and after your setCookie(url, cookieString); is called,
it removes the new cookie you just set.
So for some devices it works well as removeSessionCookie() is already executed,
while, for some, it remove the cookie, and we get that problem.
I suggest you remove this removeSessionCookie(); as you are setting only one cookie, so it won't conflict with other cookies. Your code will work seamlessly.

Jsoup cookie authentication from cookiesyncmanager to scrape from https site

I have an android application using a webview on which the user has to log in with username and password before being redirected to the page i would like to scrape data off with jsoup. Since the jsoup thread would be a different session the user would have to login again.
Now i would like to use the cookie received from the webview to send with the jsoup request to be able to scrape my data.
The cookie is being synced with cookiesyncmanager with following code. This is basically where I am stuck cause i dont know how to read out the cookie nor how to attach it to the jsoup request. Please help? :)
public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().sync();
The jsoup scrape I am doing after the user has logged in with something like this:
doc = Jsoup.connect("https://need.authentication.com").get();
Elements elements = doc.select("span.tabCount");
Element count = elements.first();
Log.d(TAG, "test"+(count));

I'm not an android developer but maybe you can try something like this:
final String url = "https://need.authentication.com";
// -- Android Cookie part here --
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().sync();
CookieManager cm = CookieManager.getInstance();
String cookie = cm.getCookie(url); // returns cookie for url
// ...
// -- JSoup part here --
// Jsoup uses cookies as "name/value pairs"
doc = Jsoup.connect("https://need.authentication.com").header("Cookie", cookie).get();
// ...
I hope this helps a bit, but as i said before: im no android developer (and code isn't tested!)
Here's some documentation:

setting Cookies in WebView android

I'm trying to set some cookies on my WebView to open a browser with the same session that I have on my app.
I read a lot of answers but they don't work for me. The only solution I've found is in the loadUrl, hardcode the cookie data in extraHeaders, but as expected this only works for this requests, and doesn't maintain the session.
The code that I have is:
CookieSyncManager cookieSyncManager = CookieSyncManager.createInstance(mWebView.getContext());
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
cookieManager.setAcceptCookie(true);
cookieManager.removeSessionCookie();
cookieManager.setCookie("http://xx.xxx.example.com","mid="+MySession.GetSession().sessionId+" ; Domain=.example.com");
cookieSyncManager.sync();
String cookie = cookieManager.getCookie("http://xx.xxx.example.com");
Log.d(LOGTAG, "cookie ------>"+cookie);
mWebView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
mWebView.setWebViewClient(new TuWebViewClient());
mWebView.loadUrl("http://xx.xx.example.com");
getCookie() returns the correct data, but when I read the cookies from the server, those are empty. What is wrong? Please advise.
Thank you!!!

Solved!!!! the problem is with the webView, I dont know what happend, but If I create the
WebView webView = new WebView(Activity.this);
it works. If I read the webview from activity with findViewById() it doesn't work.
Also if you need to set a list of cookies that you received previously from a website.
All you have to do is use a for-loop to go through and set all of them . It helped me to solve the situation

CookieSyncManager cookieSyncManager = CookieSyncManager.createInstance(mWebView.getContext());
...
cookieSyncManager.sync();
is the cause of problem. You should do like this:
CookieSyncManager.createInstance(mWebView.getContext());
...
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().sync();
And there will be no need to manually create WebView...

Android WebView - reset HTTP session

I'm using a WebView in an Android app. I periodically to be able to reset the WebView http session so that the server app it is accessing will initialise a new session. I can't find how to do this - is this possible ?
Rgds, Kevin.

I think the clear cookie can make session close. More about session
CookieSyncManager cookieSyncMngr = CookieSyncManager.createInstance(context);
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
cookieManager.removeAllCookie();

import android.webkit.CookieManager;
CookieManager cookieManager = CookieManager.getInstance();
cookieManager.removeSessionCookie();
removeSessionCookie() allows to keep other cookies but clear sessions.

There are a couple of things you can do to clear the webview depending exactly what you want to do:
webView.clearCache(true);
webView.clearHistory();
webView.destroy();

This worked for me:
WebStorage.getInstance().deleteAllData()
