Whenever I navigate through the pages in xamarin, the page having a webview loses the session storage of the website. Is there a way to get and store the session so that whenever I navigate to the webview page, the website session storage won't be lost.
Thanks in advance

I have a HybridWebView embedded in one of the Pages of my app. If I visit a website and sign in, the HybridWebView stores the relevant information and whenever I reopen the same website I am still signed in, even after closing and reopening the app.
But when I open the same website from the same Page using await Browser.OpenAsync(Url, BrowserLaunchMode.SystemPreferred); this time I need to log in again.
Is it possible to share the session information between these 2 WebViews or better globally within the app?
At first, Browser.OpenAsync(Url, BrowserLaunchMode.SystemPreferred) will open the Browser not a WebView. You can check the official document about using browser.
And the browser is another app on the device, you can't share the cookie in your app's webview with the browser app. For more information, you can check this answer about the Android Webview private browsing.
In addition,according to this case about how to share cache including cookies between android.webkit.WebView(s), the webviews in the same android app will default share the cookies with each other.
I made a login form page in xamarin crossplatform then i want the value of entry like user and password will connect to my website in webview
Is there a way to do that?
Yes, you can. Follow this article Customizing a WebView to know how to use the WebView in scenarios where you want to return json information ( for example: in your case you want to return the user id of the logged in user and other data maybe).
I've got a Xamarin Forms app running on Android and ios.
The app includes a webview. A user signs up through the webview and the web page loaded within the webview sets neccessary cookies.
When clicking on a link in the webview I want to open up the url in the in-app browser using the Xamarin.Essentials.Browser API.
And I need cookies to be shared between the webview and the in-app browser to maintain the user session.
The webview domain is domain.com/app/ and the in-app Browser url is test.domain.com/
The webview webpage is setting cookies on *.domain.com
If I open the desired page (test.domain.com/) in the webview through an iframe the page loads and the user is logged in.
When I open the page in the in-app Browser, after cookies being set inside webview, the user is not logged in.
Is there something essential about sharing cookies this way that I Am missing?
I am hosting a web page with the shell.internet ocx. The hosted URL is an ASPX page, but my page is classic ASP. How can I know if the session to the hosted page is still alive?
If there is a blip in the internet or the App goes down, the session ends. How can I determine this so I can close my hosted web page gracefully?
You should never close web pages. Leave that up to the user. You should be redirecting the user to the login or some other page and providing them with the appropriate information.
At the top of each page you should check for the presence of the session variable and redirect to the login/error page.
I am using RadSocialShare facebook button to share a page on facebook. User should login to access this page. If I use this page URL to share in RadSocialShare, facebook is unable to read the content from this page and it shares the content from the login page. Is there a way I can share restricted page's some contents on facebook/google+/twitter etc?
Thank you in advance.
You can't, Facebook send a separate request to index the page and thus such hidden pages are hidden from its crawler. See here: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/socialshare-controlling-content-for-facebook.html.
