-------------------------------------
Summary: Cookies are not stored for local documents
Key: CB-10896
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10896
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: CordovaLib
Environment: Android
Reporter: Gareth McCaughan
(I am using Android 6.0.1 and Cordova 6.0.0, but I do not believe this issue is
strongly version-specific.)
I am building a Cordova application which is a fairly thin wrapper around a
small single-page web app. Setting document.cookie in its Javascript code
appears to do nothing, and reading document.cookie always returns an empty
string.
I believe this is because the document is a local one rather than one served by
a remote server, and Android webviews do not by default permit the use of
cookies in such documents.
It is possible to change this behaviour by calling
CookieManager.setAcceptFileSchemeCookies(true); early enough in the app's
lifecycle that no CookieManager object has yet been instantiated. In
particular, doing this at the very start of MainActivity.onCreate appears
sufficient.
Is there a good reason why this shouldn't be Cordova's default behaviour?
(E.g., are such cookies shared between all apps on the device?)
