Answer 1

In my application server wants to use same session with same cookies... After few hours of "googling" and painful headache I just saved cookies to SharedPreference or just put in some object and set DefaultHttpClient with same cookies again ... onDestroy just remove SharedPreferences ... that's all:

1. First copy SerializableCookie class to your package: SerializableCookie

Look the following example:

public class NodeServerTask extends AsyncTask {
private DefaultHttpClient client;


protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
  HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
    List urlParameters = new ArrayList();
    urlParameters.add(nameValuePair);
    try {
        httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(urlParameters));
        List cookies = loadSharedPreferencesCookie();
        if (cookies!=null){
            CookieStore cookieStore = new BasicCookieStore();
            for (int i=0; i

// two methods to save and load cookies ...

 private void saveSharedPreferencesCookies(List cookies) {
    SerializableCookie[] serializableCookies = new SerializableCookie[cookies.size()];
    for (int i=0;i loadSharedPreferencesCookie() {
    SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
    byte[] bytes = preferences.getString("cookies", "{}").getBytes();
    if (bytes.length == 0 || bytes.length==2)
        return null;
    ByteArrayInputStream byteArray = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
    Base64InputStream base64InputStream = new Base64InputStream(byteArray, Base64.DEFAULT);
    ObjectInputStream in;
    List cookies = new ArrayList();
    SerializableCookie[] serializableCookies;
    try {
        in = new ObjectInputStream(base64InputStream);
        serializableCookies = (SerializableCookie[]) in.readObject();
        for (int i=0;i
