Using Cookies across Activities when using HttpClient

I'm trying a simple app to read in the HTML of a website, and tranform it to create an easily readable UI in Android (This is an exersize in learning android, not to make a useable app). The problem I'm having is persisting a users session across Activities and then using the session in a HttpClient once recalled.

I would like to do this "Correctly", the recommended approach seem to be to use CookieManager. I've had problems with this however - I cannot seem to find the "Correct" way to take a Cookie from the CookieManager and use it in a later instantiation of HttpClient in a seperate Activities.

When using a CookieManager I can save the Cookie and the Cookie is then in scope in other Activities (See code snippet 2). I haven't found how to use this later (See code snippet 3) when requesting a page.

Enough talking, here is some code. First my login action and Cookie storage:

private OnClickListener loginActionListener = new OnClickListener() 
{
    public void onClick(View v) 
    {
        EditText usernameTextView = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.Username);
        EditText passwordTextView = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.Password);
        String username = usernameTextView.getText().toString();
        String password = passwordTextView.getText().toString();

        try {
            HttpPost postMethod = new HttpPost(URI);                
            HttpParams params   = new BasicHttpParams();

            params.setParameter("mode", "login");
            params.setParameter("autologin", true);
            params.setParameter("username", username);
            params.setParameter("password", password);
            postMethod.setParams(params);

            DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpResponse response        = httpClient.execute(postMethod);
            List<Cookie>
