iOS Question WebView Post and cookies

[iCAB]

Hi All,

Can someone help provide the equivalent B4I code to the one below

Private Sub InvokeLoginURL(UrlToInvoke As String, UserName As String, Password As String )

    If WebView1.IsInitialized = False Then
        WebView1.Initialize("WebView1")
        Activity.AddView(WebView1, 0, 0%y, 100%x, 100%y)
    End If

    Dim NativeMe As JavaObject
    NativeMe.InitializeContext
    NativeMe.RunMethod("SetAcceptThirdPartyCookies", Array As Object(WebView1, True))
    
    CookieManager1.RemoveAllCookies
    CookieManager1.SetAcceptCookies(True)
    
    

    Private tempPostUrl As String = UrlToInvoke
    Private tempPostString As String = "User=XXX&Password=YYY".Replace("XXX",UserName).Replace("YYY",Password)
    
    Private bytesOfPOstRequest() As Byte
    bytesOfPOstRequest=tempPostString.GetBytes("UTF8")
    
    Private jo As JavaObject = WebView1
    jo.RunMethod("postUrl",Array As Object(tempPostUrl,bytesOfPOstRequest))
End Sub



Sub WebView1_PageFinished (Url As String)
    
Try   
    If CookieManager1.HasCookies Then
        Log(CookieManager1.GetCookie(Url))
    Else
        LogColor("No cookies found", Colors.White)
    End If
Catch
    LogColor(LastException, Colors.Red)
End Try       

End Sub

#If JAVA
import android.webkit.CookieManager;
import android.webkit.WebView;

public void SetAcceptThirdPartyCookies(WebView webview, boolean accept){
    CookieManager.getInstance().setAcceptThirdPartyCookies(webview, accept);
}
#End If

Why not make this request with iHttpUtils2?

Why not make this request with iHttpUtils2?

I have no control over the server-side. The request is supposed to display a login page, where the user enters his password and invokes the login process by clicking a button on the page (in theory the password in the example above is never used).

You don't need to.

If you know the target url then just send a request with HttpJob. It will be simpler.

You don't need to.

Can you please provide an example on how to display the page in a web view using HttpJob?
It is a requirement to present the webpage to the user.

There is no such thing.

Can you post the B4A code that calls InvokeLoginURL?

The code is in the first post, here is a copy

    Private tempPostUrl As String = UrlToInvoke
    Private tempPostString As String = "User=XXX&Password=YYY".Replace("XXX",UserName).Replace("YYY",Password)
    
    Private bytesOfPOstRequest() As Byte
    bytesOfPOstRequest=tempPostString.GetBytes("UTF8")
    
    Private jo As JavaObject = WebView1
    jo.RunMethod("postUrl",Array As Object(tempPostUrl,bytesOfPOstRequest))

Thanks a lot

No. Where do Username and password come from?

 

[iCAB]

No. Where do Username and password come from?

The post method is expecting 2 parameters user name" and "password" but they don't need to have any data
Therefore the contents of "user name" and "password" can be empty.

Erel, do you want me to PM you a sample project with a working URL and everything.
I can't post the URL in here

What is the server response after the post request? Have you tried to call it with HttpJob?
