Did you get this working? I also want to retrieve an authentication
cookie from a webview that has logged in the user, but the
CookieManager doesn't return this new cookie. It only returns the
JSESSIONID cookie which was present already when making the request.
//Called from webview via javascript
public void loginSuccess() {
final WebView wv =
(WebView)findViewById(R.id.webview);
CookieSyncManager.getInstance().startSync();
String cookies =
CookieManager.getInstance().getCookie(url);
Log.d("MyApp", "Got cookies from html page: " + cookies);
}
