So I'm trying to get some data from a certain website. When the app is first started, it downloads a html file of a certain website and cleans it.
private class cleanHtml extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void>{
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
try {
HtmlCleaner cleaner = new HtmlCleaner();
String url = "https://www.easistent.com/urniki/263/razredi/16515";
TagNode node = cleaner.clean(new URL(url));
CleanerProperties props = cleaner.getProperties();
String fileName = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() + "/Android/data/com.whizzapps.stpsurniki/cleaned.html";
new PrettyXmlSerializer(props).writeToFile(node, fileName, "utf-8");
Log.i("TAG", "AsyncTask done!");
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}
Now I know I could parse html using HtmlCleaner using XPath, but I have no knowledge at all in XPath. I'm pretty sure it would be easier to parse it with Jsoup after the file is cleaned. Is this okay?
It shouldn't be a problem all you need is a valid html. you can use this:
String html = getHtml();
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
Elements elms = doc.select("cssSelector");
Elements elms1 = doc.getElementsByClass("class");
