title: Save Cookies Webview?
body: <p>I am trying to get this WebView for android code to keep session cookies so that when the app closes and users start it again they can stay logged in. I am very new at this and I am getting frustrated trying to figure this out. What do I need to change? Please be kind as I am an idiot, and please be descriptive, even if you have to edit it for me if that is easier for you.</p>
  
  <p>I imported both CookieManager and CookieSyncManager but have NO IDEA what to do next. I have read all of the documentation and have spent hours trying to figure out how to make it save cookies so users don't have to login again and I just can't figure it out... </p>
