Question

After successfully scraping the web with the relevent data I need to transfer it to an ArrayList.

As you can see below I printed out the data. Now all I need to do is put it in an ArrayList. Any idea?

Code:

static String html = "http://games.espn.go.com/fba/playerrater?&slotCategoryId=1";

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, SQLException, InterruptedException {
    Document doc = Jsoup.connect(html).get();
    String title = doc.title();
   System.out.println(title);


    Iterator<Element> trSIter = doc.select("table.playerTableTable").iterator();
    while (trSIter.hasNext()) {
        Element  trEl = trSIter.next().child(0);
        Elements  tdEls = trEl.children();
        Iterator<Element> tdIter = tdEls.select("tr").iterator();
        boolean firstRow = true;
        while (tdIter.hasNext()) {

            Element tr = (Element)tdIter.next();
            if (firstRow) {
                firstRow = false;
                continue;
            }

        while (tdIter.hasNext()) 
        {  

            System.out.println("============================");
            Element tdEl = tdIter.next();
            String name = 
                    tdEl.getElementsByClass("playertablePlayerName").text();
            System.out.println("Name: "+name);
            String pointStr = 
                    tdEl.getElementsByClass("sortedCell").text();
            System.out.println("points: "+pointStr);
            //System.out.println(tdEl);
            Elements tdsEls = tdEl.select("td.playertableData");
            Iterator<Element> columnIt = tdsEls.iterator();
            boolean firstRow1 = true;


            while(columnIt.hasNext())
            {


                Element column = columnIt.next();
                 String stat1 =column.text();
                System.out.print(column.className()+":"+column.text()+",");

Answer 1

Make a class Player containing variables for name, points etc. Then create an object per player, finally add this to an ArrayList<Player>.

Player currentPlayer;
ArrayList<Player> players = new ArrayList<Player>();
// a lot of your code
while (tdIter.hasNext()) {  
    System.out.println("============================");
    Element tdEl = tdIter.next();
    currentPlayer = new Player();
    // instead of that:
    //String name = tdEl.getElementsByClass("playertablePlayerName").text();
    // do that:
    currentPlayer.mName = tdEl.getElementsByClass("playertablePlayerName").text();
    // the same with the rest of the gathered information
    // at the last line in this while loop
    players.add(currentPlayer);
}
