This example demonstrates how to get the cookies that have been received from the HTTP server. Android™

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // This example assumes the Chilkat HTTP API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkHttp http = new CkHttp();

    // When the HTTP object's SaveCookies property is enabled, cookies received from the 
    // server are saved either to the directory specified by CookieDir (where they are stored as XML files) 
    // or in memory if "memory" is specified.

    http.put_SaveCookies(true);
    http.put_CookieDir("memory");

    // Do a few GET's 
    String html = http.quickGetStr("https://google.com/");
    html = http.quickGetStr("https://stripe.com/");

    // Examine the cookies received from each domain.
    String xmlStr = http.getCookieXml("google.com");
    Log.i(TAG, xmlStr);

    // Sample output:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    // <cookies>
    //     <cookie key=".google.com,/,AEC" v="0" expire="Tue, 17-Feb-2026 11:32:20 GMT" secure="yes">

    //         <NID>525=A57i.......</NID>
    //     </cookie>
    // </cookies>

    xmlStr = http.getCookieXml("stripe.com");
    Log.i(TAG, xmlStr);

    // Sample output:
