Using cookies from httpclient in webview

In my app I'm sending a device ID to a server using http post and I'm getting a session ID back. Now I need to get the session cookie in my webviewclient. I did some research and found this:

Android WebView Cookie Problem

The problem is the solution doesn't work for me. I keep getting an error on this line:

List<Cookie> cookies = httpClient.getCookieStore().getCookies();

The method getCookieStore() is undefine开发者_StackOverflow中文版d for HttpClient type. I should have all the right libraries loaded, so I don't know why I keep getting an error.

Here is my code, maybe someone will be able help me implement a solution to get the session cookie into my webview.

Thanks in advance!

I've just ran into the same thing. I know it's an old post, but maybe it'll help somebody else.

The problem is in declaration of postData().

That line now is : HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();

DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(); see this: http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/http/impl/client/DefaultHttpClient.html
