How to create session in Xamarin Android after login

Rupesh Kahane

I have created a registration page and now would like to take inputs on like User Name and Password and create session for that user.

Also would like to maintain this session for some time period. Also add Logout link on the page after successful login.

Please share with me some code or links so I can achieve it.

I searched for the same, I got some reference to implement this by using Shared Preference.

Thanks

Create a Class file
-------------------------
using System;
using Android.Content;
using Android.Preferences;
namespace AndyStock
{
public class AppPreferences
{
private ISharedPreferences nameSharedPrefs;
private ISharedPreferencesEditor namePrefsEditor; //Declare Context,Prefrences name and Editor name
private Context mContext;
private static String PREFERENCE_ACCESS_KEY = "UserId"; //Value Access Key Name
public static String NAME = "NAME"; //Value Variable Name
public AppPreferences(Context context)
{
this.mContext = context;
nameSharedPrefs = PreferenceManager.GetDefaultSharedPreferences(mContext);
namePrefsEditor = nameSharedPrefs.Edit();
}
public void saveAccessKey(string key) // Save data Values
{
namePrefsEditor.PutString(PREFERENCE_ACCESS_KEY, key);
namePrefsEditor.Commit();
}
public string getAccessKey() // Return Get the Value
{
return nameSharedPrefs.GetString(PREFERENCE_ACCESS_KEY, "");
}
}
}
---------------------------------
// Get User ID
Context mContext = Android.App.Application.Context;
AppPreferences ap = new AppPreferences(mContext);
UserID = ap.getAccessKey().ToString();
objCommon = new CommonServices();
