Question

I have a url and I am trying to extract the text before the third slash. I am quite new to the concept in Android. I believe the Pattern class is used to achieve this. My problem is how to.

Take for instance: http://name.mywebsite.com/images.... I only require everything before images. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

You can use the uri method getHost in java.This example will help you,

URI uri = new URI("http://name.mywebsite.com/images");

String host = uri.getHost();
/* It returns name.mywebsite.com/*/
