Question

I am doing a freelance android project which requires telephone no. operator name from a website. My application will send the telephone no to the website. This is fine, I can do it by requesting a customized URL from the app. But in return how I can get the operator name in my application?

When I enter phone no. in the website it shows a webpage with the operator name.

Here is the phone no. website address:

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

You need to extract it from the input stream returned by URL.getContent();

For a single information like this regexp pattern matching is best, otherwise you should use a library that handles html parsing such as tagsoup (part of android distro) or my favorite : apache jericho. (Although it can be tough to compile it for android)
