I am new to both Android and Rails. I built a simple Rails app to log in to post comments and leave replies to others’ comments as well. I am trying to see how to build a native Android app to respond to this Rails app and have come across a question with sessions/cookie.
In order for me to build a native android app that can allow a user to log in and browse through the rails app, do I have to write a code that receives cookie from the rails app and store it in android sqlite database? Thanks
Are you trying to load a view in HTML (an embedded browser), or render a view on the device using the native controls? If you’re doing the former, surely Android already handles all this for you, just like a WebView in an iPhone app does?
If you’re doing the latter, you should build an API that uses something like OAuth for authentication, rather than maintaining a session cookie. This approach means that you store a pair of (revokable) OAuth credentials on the device and that you don’t need to work with the user’s username/password.
I’m not sure on what your end goal is here.
