I have been using Olaf's PHP Access user classes for user registration and log-in for some time with great success.
I have recently tried to write an Android application to access my back-end php apps and can't figure out how to log in and set the session variables from android.

This may be an Android question rather than a pure Access user class question, but someone out there must have done it???

Hi Mark,

A page on your android App is just HTML and doesn't hold any serverside code. Will say you don't serve any dynamic pages. I found on Google a solution to "keep" a login, but I'm sure it's not exact the same your looking for: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7706449/android-app-strategy-for-keeping-track-of-a-login-session

If you like to have a mobile version of your regular web based application, you should use a responsive website.

Olaf,
I took a look at that page and it does make some sense to me and I think the key item is "Session ID".

My current php application knows the user has logged in and has a valid session id. When I access it from my android app I believe it checks to see the session ID and then re-directs to the login page when it finds none.

How can I 'inject' the session ID as part of my url request so that it is recognised by Access user class?

Many thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
I would like to invite you to continue this topic on my own homepage, because this forum doesn't (people can't find this topic via Google, login to this is painful, the functions are limited, etc.).
Please send me some email to [email protected] and I will create an account for you.

regards
Olaf
