title: How to store cookies in an Android WebView?
body: <p>Currently I'm trying to store cookies in my android app. My app is loading a web page using the android webview. The activity is below.</p>
  
  <p>But, I need help to store cookies in my app. The web page I'm loading is creating the cookies with php using the <code>setcookie()</code> function. It works fine in a regular browser, but I'm a beginner app developer and it doesn't work in my android WebView.</p>
  
  <p>I need your help to store the cookie with php (on the loaded web page). </p>
  
  <p>P.S. I want the cookie to last forever (if possible).</p>
