如何从android中的html网站提取文本

Question

I want to develop an android application which takes a particular input from the app and gives it to a website, then the website fetches the result. I want to display this result from the website and display it in the android app. I tried using xml parsing but the website is not a xml based website. The website is and the input is a roll number(usn number). Can anyone guide me on how to fecth the result from this site and parse it to the app.

Answer 1

Use JSOUP which extracts datas from website and display the result.

   Document document = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
            // Get the html document title
            String title = document.title(); //get title
    Elements description = document
                    .select("meta[name=description]");
            // Locate the content attribute
            String desc = description.attr("content");

and so on.
