I am trying to parse HTML in android from a webpage, and since the webpage it not well formed, I get SAXException.Is there a way to parse HTML in android?(my guess is not, so the follow up question is: what is the best way to do this?

I am just starting developing first app and not sure which way is the best fit for my needs.The key is to download a page source, get small part of it and display it using Android UI, with possibility to submit it later as a form action.The simplest way would be probably to ditch UI and go with WebView however I decided to parse it into UI, so no WebView for me.Currently I am trying to download page source using org.apache packages (from SDK Wiktionary simplified sample) and parse it using some regex (this will give me known incompatibilities when website changes layout but I am willing to go this way). Question is: is there a better/faster/easier way to pull the source of webpage (or part of it)? Or I will have to stick to org.apache due to the fact I want to submit a form based on user selection)? Maybe someone got a hold to more source code examples of similar app ?

Should I use. Pattern Matching? Use BufferedReader to extract the information? Or are there faster way to get that information?

I am trying to launch an Android app via a hyperlink from an HTML site - i.e. tel:+448458001020 would call play.com from my phone upon clicking the button that has aforementioned hyperlink. Or putting a hyperlink on a button geo:0,0?z=17 opens up google maps on my phone with my location at a zoom of 17, mailto:n...@email.com would email and obviously http:// would take the user to another webpage.
Is it possible to launch an Android app already installed on the phone this way?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a locally stored webpage (html) under res/raw folder.There is an image that is referenced in this html page (test.gif) which is stored under res/drawables.When I use a webview to display this page, it does not display the image. How can I correctly reference the path to the test.gif image?I tried using a text view with Html.fromHtml() but that does not parse several html tags.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to parse an html page downloaded from a web server and have pretty much trouble with that. I am trying with saxparser, is there any better solution? With sax I am trying to pre-process the page to make it XML compliant (replace <br> with <br />), but I still have some troubles because of errors in the page (a couple of mismatched tags and "&" in attributes value ISO &). Is there any way to make sax parser ignore these errors and keep on parsing? I tried to use ErrorHandler interface, but I could not catch anything.
View 7 Replies View RelatedLike the title says, I am thinking about developing my own browser for Android devices.
My first thought is to know what kind of possibilities I have, before I begin creating my software architecture. Are there any (open?) Browser Engines you could include into your library and reuse them?
(There are some unknown browsers in the Android Market and I can't imagine they implemented the parsing).
Furthermore: If there IS something like I've described before, is it possible to modify (or "fine tune") the render methods? This is one of the most interesting points I guess.
And to end this question and catch the else-case: What would be the alternative way to begin?
[I guess this is not only interesting to know for mobile developers, also for desktop software developers]

View 1 Replies View RelatedOk I know everyone is going to tell me not to use RegEx for parsing HTML, but I'm programming on Android and don't have ready access to an HTML parser (that I'm aware of). Besides, this is server generated HTML which should be more consistent than user-generated HTML. The regex looks like this: Pattern patternMP3 = Pattern.compile. Code...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI wanna grab the form-element and everything inside it from a web site and then load it to my own WebView. I have looked around, but since I'm quite new to parsing overall, I really need help. I've looking at some solutions; but I don't get it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have heavily edited the original text and instead of the how question I am posting the code that produces the effect I wanted, namely a floating menu on top that stays fixed as I scroll whatever is in the middle with a lower menu at the bottom of the screen. Ain't life sweet - Might even work on the iPhone as well.
Why I posted was like I said in the original question. I'm fiddling with creating the initial lay out for a "mobile" application for the disabled, have tonnes of data, dictionary files, icons for the purpose etc. I want to have the app running as HTML to make it as portable as possible, i.e. make it runnable on Android, Iphone, Maemo... whatever.
I got some hints by looking at the example at http://www.quackit.com/css/codes/css_floating_menu.cfm as well as a lot of trial and error and finally minor edits by a paid freelancer.
Below you can find some crude (to put it mildly) HTML/CSS (cut the CSS part and load a style instead in the HTML's you create for cleaner code) but for now, let's look at the prototype concept.

You can see the working example on your Android device or in your Android emulator http://globability.org/webapp/aaa.html

I;ve been trying to create a custom button in android using this tutorial - http://www.gersic.com/blog.php?id=56
It works well but it doesn't say how to change the font size or weighting. Any ideas?
There was another question on here and the only answer was to use html styling but you can't change a font size in html without using css (or the deprecated font tag). There must be a better way of setting the pixel size of the font used on buttons?
I was hoping to make some shortcuts to web pages on my phone. I did make the shortcuts but the icons are blah. I was just wondering is it possible to make the icons more distinguishable, like the espn or cnn icon on the moment? I have any cut installed but don't think that it is the answer unless I am missing something in it.
View 1 Replies View Relatedall in my application I want to read data from web page. if data at web page is upto 800kb then I am able to read it succesfully, but if data is larger then I get OutofMemoryException.I think it is because I am using condition as while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) and in phone there is not much memory to read such a long string. I think I must have to read some part of string then write that part into some file in phone and read another part of string and write into phone but I don't know how to do that? Please help me solve this issue.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to invoke an Android App from a Web Page that i am displaying on the phone browser to the user. I know that this is possible from an another Android App using Intents. But i am not sure if this is possible from a WebPage.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to catch the intent that is fired when someone clicks on a hyperlink to a web page in the MMS browser. I have this in the manifest:
</intent-filter> <intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:scheme="http" /> </intent-filter>
However, when I click on http://www.ibm.com it only launches Browser. Same when I do
$ am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d http://www.ibm.com
in an adb shell.
When a user clicks the "about" button in my app's menu I want it to open the browser and go to a specific webpage. Is there like a one - liner out there somewhere to do this? Seems simple but Google is not being helpful right now - or I'm just searching the wrong thing.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've come across a peculiar problem in one of my apps recently. I have a WebView that pulls down a webpage using loadUri(). This is being loaded into an activity that has just the WebView and a Button below the WebView inside a RelativeLayout. It works fine in the emulator on Android 1.6, 2.1, and 2.2. However, it does not show the webpage in Android 1.5. To strip things down to a bare minimum,
I used the following code from the API docs and tested it with similar results:

Any thoughts as to what might be v1.5 specific that would cause this to not work? Am I missing something here?
