Session cookies unstable in Android update

Question

Hi I am currently developing an Android application that uses Retrofit to make network calls. Here is a basic overview of my requirement.

  1.Get Facebook access token and send it to the server.
      2.The server sets a Session cookie in the response.
      3.In all the upcoming requests send the session cookies back.

Current issue:
I can save session cookies if the user does not use the application (in different actions). But as soon as the user exits the application, cookies will be deleted. I declared these cookies in the class that exyends Application . I need these session cookies to be saved even after the application exits. so that I can use them for further processing when the user opens my application again.

Here are some code snippets that I implemented in my application.

AppController.java (subclass of Application class)

     public class AppController extends Application {
         private static AppController mInstance;
         private static OkHttpClient client;
         private static CookieManager cookieManager;
         private static Context context;
         private static AviyalApiService api;  // custom interface having all the GET and POST 
         private static OkClient okClient;
         private static RestAdapter adapter;

         @Override
         public void onCreate () {
             super.onCreate ();

             client = new OkHttpClient ();

             cookieManager = AppController.getCookieManager ();
             client.setCookieHandler (cookieManager);
             client.setFollowRedirects (true);
             client.setFollowRedirects (true);
             okClient = new OkClient (client);

             CookieManager cookieManager = new CookieManager ();
             cookieManager.setCookiePolicy (CookiePolicy.ACCEPT_ALL);
             CookieHandler.setDefault (cookieManager);

             adapter = new RestAdapter.Builder ()
                     .setEndpoint (context.getResources (). getString (R.string.base_url))
                     .setClient (okClient) .build ();
         }

        .....

Here is a snippet of how I call the service.

     class LoginActivity extends Activity {
        ....
     @Override
     protected void onCreate (Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate (savedInstanceState);
         ....
         ApiService api = AppController.getApi ();
         api.fbLogin (tok, new Callback () {
             @Override
             public void success (FbLogin fbLogin, Response response) {
             // success
             }
              @Override
             public void failure (RetrofitError error) {
                 MyFunctions.showAlertDialogue (LoginActivity.this, "Login Failed", error.getMessage (), "OK", null);
             });
         ......

Thanks in advance.

The problem is resolved .... Thanks to this link https://gist.github.com/jacobtabak/78e226673d5a6a4c4367

The above program will require minor changes in order for it to work. In the above program, you will get an error saying that it cannot enter an entry in a string. You can solve by adding enrty.toString() .
