Unable to Use Simple JSOUP Example To Parse Website Table Data
- by OhNoItsAnOverflow
I'm attempting to extract the following data from a table via Android / JSOUP however I'm having a bit of trouble nailing down the process. I think I'm getting close to being able to do this using the code I've provided below - but for some reason I still cannot get my textview to display any of the table data.
P.S.
Live URL's can be provided if necessary.
SOURCE:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
TextView tv;
final String URL = "http://exampleurl.com";
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
new MyTask().execute(URL);
}
private class MyTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
ProgressDialog prog;
String title = "";
@Override
protected void onPreExecute() {
prog = new ProgressDialog(MainActivity.this);
prog.setMessage("Loading....");
prog.show();
}
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
try {
Document doc = Jsoup.connect(params[0]).get();
Element tableElement = doc.getElementsByClass("datagrid")
.first();
title = doc.title();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return title;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
super.onPostExecute(result);
prog.dismiss();
tv.setText(result);
}
}
}
TABLE:
<table class="datagrid">
<tbody><tr>
<th>Item No.</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Sex</th>
<th>Location</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="redirector.cfm?ID=a33660a3-aae0-45e3-9703-d59d77717836&page=1&&lname=&fname=" title="501207593">501207593 </a></td>
