Get URL from a HTML text in Android Java

Question

String htmlText = Html.toHtml((Spanned) editText.getText());
//output of htmlText = "<span style="background-color:#F9F9F9;"><b><a href="someUrl">Some Text</a></b></span>"

How can I get the URL link in the <a> tag so that I'll have something like

String urlStr = "someUrl";

Answer 1

Okay... I was able to figure it out with the help of the comment from @CommonsWare.

First, I had to add the JSoup library to my android project then with this code below

String htmlText = Html.toHtml((Spanned) editText.getText());
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(htmlText, "UTF-8");
Elements element = doc.select("a");
String href = element.attr("href");
