Creating a Stack Overflow Notification

Question

I could not find an Android application for stack overflow notification, so I plan to create one. I hope my application will serve a similar purpose as the Chrome Extension Notifier Notifier Notifier . This will be my first Android app, so I'm not familiar with the platform yet.

So, currently I plan to ask the user to log in, holding up WebView, and then at certain intervals, go to the "Recent Actions" page in the background.

My question is: How do I save the authentication cookie from StackOverflow after the user logs in WebView, and then send this cookie to the request HttpGetwhen accessing the recent events page?

Answer 1

Stack overflowing is a difficult task because there is no username and password - you should be able to allow the user to fully log in with the OpenID setting.

A better choice would be a built-in browser where you can read the StackOverflow cookie.
