We all know that programming have endless possibilities There are numbers of solutions available for a single problem so i think all of the above solutions are perfect and may be helpful for someone but for me this one save my day    So Code goes like this     private void getWebsite         new Thread new Runnable            Override       public void run             final StringBuilder builder   new StringBuilder             try             Document doc   Jsoup connect  http   www ssaurel com blog   get              String title   doc title              Elements links   doc select  a href                builder append title  append   n               for  Element link   links                builder append   n   append  Link      append link attr  href                 append   n   append  Text      append link text                           catch  IOException e              builder append  Error      append e getMessage    append   n                       runOnUiThread new Runnable                Override           public void run                 result setText builder toString                                            start          You just have to call the above function in onCreate Method of your MainActivity  I hope this one is also helpful for you guys   Also read the original blog at Medium

Maybe you can use WebView  but as you can see in the doc WebView doesn t support javascript and other stuff like widgets by default   http   developer android com reference android webkit WebView html  I think that you can enable javascript if you need it

I just encountered this problem  I tried a few things  but settled on using JSoup  The jar is about 132k  which is a bit big  but if you download the source and take out some of the methods you will not be using  then it is not as big      Good thing about it is that it will handle badly formed HTML  Here s a good example from their site   File input   new File   tmp input html    Document doc   Jsoup parse input   UTF-8    http   example com        http   jsoup org cookbook input load-document-from-url   Document doc   Jsoup connect  http   example com    get     Element content   doc getElementById  content    Elements links   content getElementsByTag  a    for  Element link   links      String linkHref   link attr  href      String linkText   link text

Have you tried using Html fromHtml source    I think that class is pretty liberal with respect to source quality  it uses TagSoup internally  which was designed with real-life  bad HTML in mind   It doesn t support all HTML tags though  but it does come with a handler you can implement to react on tags it doesn t understand
