Initialisation

The SuperTokens.init function: API Reference

• To be called at least once before any http request is made to any of your APIs that require authentication.
• You only need to call this once in your app.

Java

Kotlin

import io.supertokens.session.SuperTokens

try {
    SuperTokens.init(getApplication(), "https://api.example.com/api/refresh", 440, null);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
    // Refresh URL was invalid
}

import io.supertokens.session.SuperTokens

try {
    SuperTokens.init(application, "https://api.example.com/api/refreshsession", 440, null);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
    // Refresh URL was invalid
}

Persisting cookies

SuperTokens does not persist cookies across app launches by default, and relies on you to set a persistent cookie manager for your app. SuperTokens provides a SuperTokensPersistentCookieStore class which can be used to persist cookies. To enable this cookie store simply use the following code before making any HTTP API calls that require authentication:

CookieManager.setDefault(new CookieManager(new SuperTokensPersistentCookieStore(getApplication()), null));
