I would like to show just the Google results number of a specific sentence directly inside a view. Unfortunately, I do not know where to start.
I plan to do it with many sentences and make it refreshed each time the user get connected to the application.
Thanks in advance for your precious helps.
Just in case if someone is looking for an answer. Jsoup seems to be a great solution.

I have been struggling with a problem from past few days.
We have to implement a search feature that must be able to search the content that is written in other languages but searched in English pronunciation. For example if there is a content like below
Hello is translated as 你好 in Chinese, Pronounced as Nǐ hǎo, so if the user types Nǐ hǎo in the search field 你好 should be in the search results.
I found that contacts app is doing something similar for which I have uploaded a screenshot here. I thought that we have to go with some Transliteration kind of idea, but it won't work here as the content is dynamic. So I wanted to know what might be a simpler way to achieve this.
I am not sure on where to start with this issue. Can anyone please point me to a link that would help me with this?
Thanks in advance.
The Contacts app isn't doing transliteration in real-time when you search for a word.
It stored the phonetic-name of a contact into the contact details, and searches for the regular display-name as well as the phonetic field.
I think you need something else, that will happen in real-time
There was a feature request for this to be added to Android, but it was rejected.
So I've looked at some of the posts here and ore mother sites and since times change quickly in our world would like to know if there is any SDK or API out there yet that will essentially take an audio file and convert it to text ?
I realize anything's possible, especially in open source, but I'm just too new to this environment. So if anyone had any insights or links inepildnao appreciate it.
Many thanks ahead as always.
You can start using simple Speech to text that appears in a list.
Then you can "play" with that list and try new things.
Here I leave you a perfect tutorial Here
I leave the link because you didnt ask about code , so there it is.
I need to let the user in my app to choose several cities.
so the users should be able to choose "All Cities" or "multiple cities", every tap on city name will be shown above the list, and every click on the list above, will bring it back down, I designed a sketch so you will be able to understand what i need.
the closest example i have found is android chips edit text:
https://github.com/klinker41/android-chips
but it works on contacts and actually its too much code for a pretty simple select list.
any idea?
Thank you!

I don't normally whine this much, but this problem is really painful.
I've been searching for an answer since 4 months and I still don't know how to do this. I taught myself Android from square 1, but this is 1 problem I just can't get around my head.
I've asked at least 20 questions on SO, half got down-rated, the other half got no answer.
I've checked at least half a dozen libraries, spent days to try and integrate it in my app, but nothing has ever worked.
These were the most promising ones:
https://github.com/matshofman/Androi...Reader-Library
https://github.com/ahorn/android-rss
Took hours to integrate and I never felt real sorrow until I was unable to get anything to work.
If you know how to integrate an RSS feed in an app, please help me out! It's the one thing that's stopping my app from becoming the best in it's field. I reckon I would retain twice as many users if I could just have this. A working example is all I need. I've never even seen ONE. I don't how the News apps do it, it's practically magic for me.
I just want a Listview that shows the title, on clicking and item the description opens up. The rest I can do myself. Any working example will do.
Please Help.
If you haven't figured it out by now, I have made a simple library for this exact reason. The current ones are outdated and hard to customize. Try this one and let me know if you need help. The readme should walk you through basic set up.

You may want to check out this new powerful RSS library I wrote:
https://github.com/Pkmmte/PkRSS
It's very easy to use, extremely customizable, and supports most feeds. For example, the following code loads a specific url in the background:
PkRSS.with(this).load(url).async();
And then you can get the list of feeds loading in that url:
List<Article> articleList = PkRSS.with(this).get(url);
You can then use that ArrayList in your ListView to populate it. Easy, right? :D
This one is puzzling me...
For my Android application I want to be able to return the current time in any location the user requests (right down to city level). The request itself comes from a voice command, so I cannot use alternative methods.
The most obvious way (so I thought) was to query Google, but I need your brains to help me solve how to extract the data I want please!
In Google, query:
"What's the time in China"
You should see a 'widget' at the top displaying the answer nicely. View the page source and search on 'China' and it's there - I thought great, this is going to be easy!
But...
"What's the time in London"
Although the display in Google appears the same, there is no result for 'London' when searching the source HTML...?
Using Google Chrome, I inspect the element of the 'widget' and can then view the contents I wish to extract in all cases.
So, my questions is firstly, am I missing something obvious (Google don't want us to be able to do this for example)? Or is there a way to 'force' the result to be in the HTML by structuring the query perhaps?
Secondly, is there a way to access the specific 'element container' and return the results to my Android Application?
I thank you in advance...
You should really use an API instead of parsing html.
I guess there are many many API which will give you the time in a given city.
http://www.worldweatheronline.com/time-zone-api.aspx for example (havnt tried it myself)
If you still want to extract data from the google result (which is html), check for html parsers like in this post : Parse HTML in Android
