Android Question Manage cookies with HttpJob

[sinner181]

Hi all,
I need to manage cookies in use for httpjob, I explain below:

A website set a cookie with set-cookie in response, but I need to clear ONLY a single value stored
Set-cookie : a=3689212956
Set-cookie : b=sdghfukgkqwsbh
Set-cookie : c=765wdf7d6s

I need to delete only B for example and leave A and C, is there a possibility?

Sometimes A B and C are store in same row, like
Set-cookie : a=3689212956 expire etc; b=sdghfukgkqwsbh expire etc; c=765wdf7d6s expire etc;

A list of this? A Map? A simple cookiemanager can do this work but I've see only for webview (I think).

Thanks.

Code to clear all cookies: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/httputils-cookie-store.113930/post-711519
That is B4J code. You need to remove this in B4A:

   If HttpUtils2Service.hc.IsInitialized = False Then
        HttpUtils2Service.Service_Create
    End If

Dim Store as JavaObject = CookieManager.RunMethodJO("getCookieStore", Null)

CookieStore API: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/CookieStore.html

You need to first call getURIs to get a list with the URI objects and then call get to get a list with the cookies associated with each URI. This will allow you to call remove with the URI and cookie.

I understand, but I don't know how to write it exactly.

I have understand how implement getCookies() and removeAll() from cookiestore without any additionals parameters, but in "add", "remove" and "get" I'm blocked

    Dim jo As JavaObject = HttpUtils2Service.hc
    Dim client As JavaObject = jo.GetField("client")
    Dim r As Reflector
    r.Target = client.RunMethod("cookieJar", Null)
    Dim CookieManager As JavaObject = r.GetField("cookieHandler")
    Dim cookie As String
    Dim cookieStore As JavaObject=CookieManager.RunMethodJO("getCookieStore",Null)
    cookie=""
    Dim s As List=cookieStore.RunMethod("getURIs", Null)
    If s.Size>0 Then
        For i=0 To s.Size-1
            Dim aURI As String=s.Get(i)
            Log(aURI)
           
            'Get Cookie URI list......how implement?
            Dim CookieInside As JavaObject=cookieStore.RunMethod("get", Null) ???? not work obviosly and error "GET NOT MATCHED" (the same error for add and remove)        
            Dim CookieList As List=s.Get(i) ??? no work 

            If CookieList.Size>0 Then
                For i=0 To CookieList.Size-1
                    Dim aCookie As String=CookieList.Get(i)
                    Log(aCookie)
                Next
            End If
        Next
    
    End If

Can you explain me how I can implement parameters?

Please don't bump your questions.

Dim jo As JavaObject = HttpUtils2Service.hc
Dim client As JavaObject = jo.GetField("client")
Dim r As Reflector
r.Target = client.RunMethod("cookieJar", Null)
Dim CookieManager As JavaObject = r.GetField("cookieHandler")
Dim cookieStore As JavaObject= CookieManager.RunMethodJO("getCookieStore",Null)
Dim uris As List = cookieStore.RunMethod("getURIs", Null)
For Each uri As JavaObject In uris
    Dim UriAsString As String = uri.RunMethod("toString", Null)
    Log(UriAsString)
    If UriAsString = "http://www.google.com" Then 'cookies with this URI will be removed
        Dim cookies As List = cookieStore.RunMethod("get", Array(uri))
        Log(cookies)
        For Each cookie As JavaObject In cookies
            cookieStore.RunMethod("remove", Array(uri, cookie))
        Next
    End If
Next

Don't forget to add the HU2_PUBLIC conditional symbol.

" Please don't bump your questions. "
Sorry Erel
They are almost there, but I can't find a library for creating the cookie to be inserted.
For uri I found the correct library, but to pass the value of the cookie?

            Dim jo As JavaObject = HttpUtils2Service.hc
            Dim client As JavaObject = jo.GetField("client")
            Dim r As Reflector
            r.Target = client.RunMethod("cookieJar", Null)
            Dim CookieManager As JavaObject = r.GetField("cookieHandler")
            Dim cookieStore As JavaObject= CookieManager.RunMethodJO("getCookieStore",Null)
                    
            
            Dim uri As Uri
            uri.Parse("https://www.mywebsite.com")   'is correct?
        
            Dim NewCookie as JavaObject 'How can I assign value?

            cookieStore.RunMethod( "add" , Array(uri, NewCookie ) )

Thanks.

uri.Parse("https://www.mywebsite.com") 'is correct?

The code I posted logs all the URIs. Check the logs.

You can create cookies with JavaObject.InitializeNewInstance: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/HttpCookie.html

This my code :

            Dim jo As JavaObject = HttpUtils2Service.hc
            Dim client As JavaObject = jo.GetField("client")
            Dim r As Reflector
            r.Target = client.RunMethod("cookieJar", Null)
            Dim CookieManager As JavaObject = r.GetField("cookieHandler")
            Dim cookieStore As JavaObject= CookieManager.RunMethodJO("getCookieStore",Null)
                    
            
            Dim uri As Uri
            uri.Parse("https://www.mywebsite.com")
        
            Dim NewCookie As JavaObject
            NewCookie.InitializeNewInstance("java.net.HttpCookie",Array("s","123456789"))

            Log(NewCookie.RunMethod("getName",Null))
            Log(NewCookie.RunMethod("getValue",Null))
            
            cookieStore.RunMethod("add", Array(uri, NewCookie ))

in LOG I see correctly name and value assigned, i think that cookie is correct, but when arrive to "add" I receive this message :
*** java.lang.RuntimeException: Method: add not matched. ***

Where am i wrong?

Best if you upload a small project with this code.

I've used a website test:

First click on LOGIN button, after login click to SAVE button (to store cookies into sql).

After restart, click on LOAD button, my problem is here.

Thanks.

Several mistakes with the database handling however the error with the cookie is that there are several types of URIs. You need to create one with:

Dim uri As JavaObject
uri.InitializeNewInstance("java.net.URI", Array("url here"))

Several mistakes with the database handling

Yes I know, but it's a simple test and I'm studying to learn b4x.

I mistakenly thought I could set URI from a library and not from javaobject

Thank you Erel!!!! It's work
