Question

I used url.openConnection() to get text from a webpage
but i got time delay in execution while i tried it in loops
i also tried httpUrl.disconnect().
but the change is not that much…
can anyone give me a better option for this
i used the following code for this

for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
    URL google = new URL(array[i]);//array of links 
    HttpURLConnection yc =(HttpURLConnection)google.openConnection(); 
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(yc.getInputStream())); 
    String inputLine;

    while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) { 
        source=source.concat(inputLine);
    }
    in.close();
    yc.disconnect();
}

Answer 1

A couple of issues I can see.

in.readLine() doesn’t retain the newline so when you use concat, all the newlines have been removed.

Using concat in a loop like this builds a longer and longer String. This will get slower and slower with each line you add.

Instead you might find IOUtils useful.

URL google = new URL("123newyear.com/2011/calendars/");
String text = IOUtils.toString(google.openConnection().getInputStream());
