Question

I want to format the content I get from a specific website to show it on my device . For example , from this page I need only the program titles and the description of each one . I get the html code for this page with this function :

 private String getPage() {
        String str = "***";

        try
        {
            HttpClient hc = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://golfnews.no/golfpaatv.php");
            HttpResponse rp = hc.execute(post);

            if(rp.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK)
            {
                str = EntityUtils.toString(rp.getEntity());
            }
        }catch(IOException e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }  

        return str;
    }

It returns a string which contains the html code. Now I want to have some strings containing the titles and other strings containing the description . I tried a few methods but I can’t figure out what to do ! I am a beginner and I don’t know much in android . Could you please help me ? Thanks.

Instead of that URL, you just fetch RSS by using this link, and now parse the RSS either by using SAX Parser, DOM Parser or Pull Parser.
