Hello, I am in some kind of a fix... I have been reading around the subject above and I think Android materials available are very patchy, and the Android documentation is not very useful without enough experience. I have never worked with cookies in Java (only PHP)- and the pages I have read don't discuss both initial AUTHENTICATION and COOKIES together. And I am finding it difficult to bring together a working program here. My idea is- I have a form that the user inputs his credentials, on the click of the button the credentials are passed to the server, the server responds with a cookie, and this is stored for future use.
As per the piece of code below, is it possible to make the two methods: authenticate() and xCookies() (receives, store and set cookies with requests) work together? If not please tell me how I can achieve the desired goal (preferably using HTTP class vis-a-vis URL). Your assistance will be highly appreciated. ......................................................................................................... public class XClient extends Activity { EditText username; EditText password; TextView userTv; TextView pwdTv; @Override public void onCreate(Bundle icicle){ super.onCreate(icicle); setContentView(R.layout.main); login(); } protected void login() { username = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.userNameLbl); password = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.pwdText); pwdTv = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.pwdLbl); userTv =(TextView)findViewById(R.id.userNameText); String userId = username.getText().toString(); String userPwd = password.getText().toString(); Button loginBtn = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.authButton); loginBtn.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View v) { authenticate(userId, userPwd); } });} public void authenticate(String token1, String token2)// Supposed to handle authentication { HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient(); client.getParams().setParameter("http.useragent", "My Browser"); HostConfiguration host = client.getHostConfiguration(); host.setHost(new URI("http://localhost:8080", true)); Credentials credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials ("token1", "token2"); AuthScope authScope =new AuthScope(host.getHost(), host.getPort()); HttpState state = client.getState(); state.setCredentials(authScope, credentials); GetMethod method = new GetMethod("www.gmail.com"); try{ client.executeMethod(host, method); System.err.println(method.getStatusLine()); System.err.println(method.getResponseBodyAsString()); } catch(Exception e) { System.err.println(e); } finally { method.releaseConnection(); } } //xCookies uses CookieManager class to store received cookie, and sends the cookie with subsequent requests private void xCookies() { CookieManager cm = new CookieManager(); try { URL url = new URL("www.gmail.com"); URLConnection conn = url.openConnection(); conn.connect(); cm.storeCookies(conn); System.out.println(cm); cm.setCookies(url.openConnection()); } catch (IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); } } } --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
