How to put Cookie session id into volley request?

Question

So, i have this code to make a POST request with volley:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

 Button btnSearch;
 ProgressDialog loadingDia         


        

Answer 1

So the problem was getting a valid cookie. My mistake was to get it from the POST request itself. I kept the same working principle, getting the cookie when I started the application but using GET instead of POST and calling the root of the URL instead of the address where I get the JSON.

My solution looked like this:

public void requestCookie() {
  queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
  String url = "http://myurl.com/";

  StringRequest getRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, url,
   new Response.Listener  () {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(String response) {
     String x = myCookieManager.getCookieValue();
    }
   },
   new Response.ErrorListener() {
    @Override
    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
     Log.d("ERROR", "Error => " + error.toString());
     hideLoading();
    }
   }
  ) {   
   protected Response  parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
    try {
     String jsonString = new String(response.data, HttpHeaderParser.parseCharset(response.headers));
     String header_response = String.valueOf(response.headers.values());
     int index1 = header_response.indexOf("PHPSESSID=");
     int index2 = header_response.indexOf("; path");
     //Log.e(Utils.tag, "error is : " + index1 + "::" + index2);
     session_id = header_response.substring(index1, index2);

     return Response.success(jsonString, HttpHeaderParser.parseCacheHeaders(response));
    } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
     return Response.error(new ParseError(e));
    }
   }
  };

  queue.add(getRequest);
 }
