Hi,

I have an app with a webview component where I load the html.

I’m using cookies but when I close the app the cookies are deleted. Is this the normal behavior?

Regards

I use this code.

It works while I don’t quit the app. When I close it the cookie doesn’t exist.

(function($) {
$.cookie = function(key, value, options) {

// key and at least value given, set cookie…
if (arguments.length > 1 && (!/Object/.test(Object.prototype.toString.call(value)) || value === null || value === undefined)) {
options = $.extend({}, options);

if (value === null || value === undefined) {
options.expires = -1;
}

if (typeof options.expires === ‘number’) {
var days = options.expires, t = options.expires = new Date();
t.setDate(t.getDate() + days);
}

value = String(value);

return (document.cookie = [
encodeURIComponent(key), ‘=’, options.raw ? value : encodeURIComponent(value),
options.expires ? ‘; expires=’ + options.expires.toUTCString() : ”, // use expires attribute, max-age is not supported by IE
options.path ? ‘; path=’ + options.path : ”,
options.domain ? ‘; domain=’ + options.domain : ”,
options.secure ? ‘; secure’ : ”
].join(”));
}

// key and possibly options given, get cookie…
options = value || {};
var decode = options.raw ? function(s) { return s; } : decodeURIComponent;

var pairs = document.cookie.split(‘; ‘);
for (var i = 0, pair; pair = pairs[i] && pairs[i].split(‘=’); i++) {
if (decode(pair[0]) === key) return decode(pair[1] || ”); // IE saves cookies with empty string as “c; “, e.g. without “=” as opposed to EOMB, thus pair[1] may be undefined
}
return null;
};
})(jQuery);

function premiaPuntosPorEntrar() {
var str_last_fecha_visitado=$.cookie(‘last_fecha_visitado’);

myDate = new Date();
if (str_last_fecha_visitado != myDate.toDateString()) {
$.cookie(‘last_fecha_visitado’,myDate.toDateString());

//alert(‘Has ganado 5 puntos por abrir hoy la aplicación!’);

};
}

“webview component” implies you are building a native app with an embedded browser component such as an iOS UIWebView, right? If yes are you using a particular mobile SDK/framework, e.g., phonegap/cordova?

UIWebView is an html render, and not as capable as a general browser. I just want to confirm before investigating this further?
