The HttpClient library- which is part of the Android API- can do that.

A cookie is just another HTTP header. You can always set it while making a HTTP call with the apache library or with HTTPUrlConnection. Either way you should be able to read and set HTTP cookies in this fashion.

Hello,

I want to set some variables to my application and which will be accessible all over the application. Just like session management in J2EE.
And gone through the above details and I do not have any url to set inside the code . If I'm wrong could you please post some sample codes for the same.

Thanks,

So there's no HTTP involved at all? That means there'll be no cookie. For shared in-memory storage you may want to look into using an Applictaion class - http://www.google.de/search?q=android.app.Application
