How do you get user information after user login from cognito session, or even check if the session is valid?



AWS has a tutorial on how to get that information, HOWEVER, how do you get that information after a redirect on successful login to a different activity? and have access to user data for the current user? The way how AWS tutorial does it is using the onSuccess method and using its arguments CognitoUserDetails cognitoUserDetails however you need cognitoUser to access these information. Below, is AWS's implementation which I have on my redirected Activity.



// Implement callback handler for getting details 
GetDetailsHandler getDetailsHandler = new GetDetailsHandler() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(CognitoUserDetails cognitoUserDetails) {
// The user detail are in cognitoUserDetails
}

@Override
public void onFailure(Exception exception) {
// Fetch user details failed, check exception for the cause
}
};

// Fetch the user details
cognitoUser.getDetailsInBackground(getDetailsHandler);


The way how I have manage to get any user information is by passing some user data with intent to the next activity each time, this seems very unproductive. This is what I have been doing just to get cognitoUser. And username of course is the user data I choose to pass from the previous activity.



CognitoUserPool userPool = new CognitoUserPool(
context, Constants.Pool_Id, Constants.App_client_id,
Constants.App_client_secret, Regions.US_EAST_2
);
CognitoUser cognitoUser = userPool.getUser(username);


In Django I could easily get user data by doing something like request.user on almost any interface. My question is, after successful login is there ANY WAY how to get user data, check if user is logged in, access session data without passing user data to activities each time?
