I've been trying this. I get the CookieStore from the HttpClient that executes the HttpPost. I then get all the values from the CookieStore and place it in the CookieManager using CookiManager.getInstance ().setCookie(url, theCookieStore.getCookies().get(i).getValue()); where i is the value in whatever for loop I'm using. This still does not seem to work with the WebView, because after I execute the post and place the cookies in the CookieManager I attempt to load the tumblr.com/iphone website and it doesn't automatically login. I'm completely baffled as to what to do. I tried getting the cookies from the HttpResponse, but that still didn't do anything. does the CookieManager handle WebViews?
