    `How can I implement cookies in android application?` depends on how you make network requests. Each approach has it's own way to handle cookies – Vladyslav Matviienko Sep 11 '19 at 07:03

As you are not using a WebView for calling your URLs and Cookies in general is just a way of storing small pieces of data I would use SharedPreferences instead.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences

Here you can store key pairs of strings, ints etc and reach from anywhere within your app.

Or for cookies you could use OKHttp like this answer suggests: How to implement cookie handling on Android using OkHttp?
