How to organize your authorization with a token on Android?

Question

PHP

Hello!
I am still learning programming, and now I am writing an Android client for a web resource. I understand how to organize the simplest authorization between the Android application and the server in php. But I didn’t quite figure out how to make it so that I sent username and password to the server, and already received a token from the server and wrote it down in shared preferences, for further authorization already by token. I understand how to give a token from the server, I’m interested in exactly how to accept a token on Android and write it to the storage for subsequent authorization using it.

Answer 1

just in the server response when logging in, give in the json token what else is needed for the client to work, for example, the user id and the avatar
, then sign each request with this token - you can use it in the header, you can as a parameter (not worth it, but you can) ....

Answer 2

How to give a token from the server you know what SharedPreferences is too, so what's the problem?
The server has given, the program accepts and saves the token.
