I’m trying to code a native android application that takes certain parts of a webpage and displays it. Basically I would want a search bar and several other things, so that I can have a clean fitted display on a mobile device. It is the same idea as the Facebook application, I am trying to create a stripped down version of a webpage.

I know how to download a full webpage using a WebView, but how can I take only certain parts of that webpage and display that instead?

EDIT: Is there any way to do this using just java and java-based api’s?

(I am writing the application in native JAVA)

Best,
Aneem

    Its not sure from your question if your back-end has web api’s implemented via REST, SOAP, whatever. If it does then you’d just use the necessary pieces widgets and all to implement your android application.

    If it doesn’t then there may not be a direct way to implement what you want. So I’d suggest looking into the back end first before looking at this aspect.

    However, you might want to look at PhoneGap if you want to implement a cross platform solution.
