Answer 1

This may not be real useful but you can get result

First thing, you need country code from google finance.

Then web request to url using:

https://www.google.com/finance/converter?a=1&from=AED&to=ZWL

Here AED is from country code and ZWL is to country code.

Then you can parse the html to get:

<div id=currency_converter_result>1 AED = <span class=bld>87.7634 ZWL</span>
<input type=submit value="Convert">
</div>

I don't know java but sure there will be elegant web request and html parser.
