How to get HTML source code from url in android?

Question

I am working on project to get html source code in a string in vb.net using dom parser to get source code of a page.

1) I want to implement the same in android, what will be the approach to get source code of webpage by calling a url in android. 2) I would be having two layouts for source code in one layout and other for the webpage itself. If i am changing title tag value in source code layout, its must be automatically updated on actual webpage ?

What would be the best approach to do that in android ?

Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.

You can get Html code from any URL by using ion library.

Go to the project structure, click on app, click on Dependencies, click on '+', just type ion you will see com.koushikdutta.ion:ion:2.1.8 click it and click ok. Now you can use ion library to get html code from URL.

public class HtmlCode extends Activity {
    TextView tv;

    public void onCreate(Bundle s)
    {
        super.onCreate(s);
        setContentView(R.layout.httpexample);

        tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.tvHttp);
        Ion.with(getApplicationContext()).load("http://www.your_URL.com").asString().setCallback(new FutureCallback<String>() {
            @Override
            public void onCompleted(Exception e, String result) {

                tv.setText(result);
            }
        });
    }
}

Surprisingly - I did not not about ion, and it's still under development.

In today's version of Android Studio follow this path -> Click on the File, then Project Structure then Dependencies then the app and then click on the "+" icon of all dependencies sections and then choose library and type ion and select com.koushikdutta.ion and click ok, ok and you are good to go.

You can go for Web scraping techniques in Java. There are plenty of libraries available which I found simple and robust is a library called jaunt . You can read the documentation here

Try this:

    URL google = null;
    try {
        google = new URL("https://www.google.com");
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    BufferedReader in = null;
    try {
        in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(google.openStream()));
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    String input = null;
    StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
    while (true)
    {
        try {
            if (!((input = in.readLine()) != null)) break;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        stringBuffer.append(input);
    }
    try {
        in.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    String htmlData = stringBuffer.toString();
