Android App that pulls Information from URL (IMDB)

I want to add a tab to my Android App that pulls information from the web. The first tab should be a list of the most popular TV Shows on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/search/title?at=0&count=100&sort=moviemeter&title_type=tv_series,mini_series) for example.
What would be my first steps? How can I parse this data and then reuse (the title for example) in my app? I am not really familiar with API and parsing data, so I need some guidance towards the right direction.

You can try Jsoup for parsing html data.
Include jsoup in your app by configuring the build path.
Jsoup is so easy to use and parse data
The jsoup website itself is very helpful for its usage.
For easy parsing of the website first understand the source of site and use the Online Jsoup Parser

How to retrieve blog post from Blogger to Android app?

I am trying to develop an Android application that extract blog post from a blog http://heroesofmalaysia.blogspot.com/ to display in the application. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

As BVB said, you can use the Google Blogger API.
1) Use this link for the how to use https://developers.google.com/blogger/docs/3.0/using
2) You will need to authenticate you app with the api to be able to communicate with using OAuth
3) Use the URL format as described in the link to construct your request e.g. get a specific post, create post, get replies....etc
4) Receive the response in a JSON Format and parse it to display whatever you want.
I hope it helps

Use JSoup to parse the HTML you get from the server: http://jsoup.org/

I have done that but not in the way you want!
Actually I have added 20 articles in my app.
HOW
webView = findViewById(R.id.articleWebview);
webView.setBackgroundColor(backGroundColor);
webView.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/articlesExplore/astral_projection.html);
As you can see i pasted the HTML files in the assets and then it it show in webview.
Let's have a look,
And also, you can do that using google drive or firebase storage or onedrive. Save those file in the cloud storage and paste the link in the loadurl(LINK); Whenever you want to edit the pages, then edit them in blogger and paste the code in the html files. This is useful when you have like 100 posts (I had seven only).

how to create a html file to store offline data

I want to create a web page so that it can store some data offline. I want to use this file in tablets as well as smart phones. can any body suggest some offline data storage for HTML and also its examples and tutorials. I have Googled about websql in html5. But didn't get any simple answer.

If you're using HTML 5 here's an example pulled from W3Schools:
// Store
localStorage.lastname = "Smith";
// Retrieve
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML=localStorage.lastname;
[Source]: W3Schools
For a more comprehensive guide visit DiveintoHTML5
Or here: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/features/storage
You have three main choices for storage:
Name/Pair Storage within the browser (see the W3 link)
IndexedDB [Source]
Web SQL DB [Source]
I hope you find the best solution for your project!

web crawl the app information from Android market

I want to get a dataset of Android application information, which includes application name, package name, version, permission requested, etc.
The official Android application market is Google Play. There are millions of applications on the market. I want to get at least tens of thousands of application information from it, and store it into a csv file. For instance, here's an application's link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ralphsapps.snorecontrol
The problem is how to get the list of applications' url?
How to to parse the information from webpage?
Is there any good web crawler suitable for this kind of job? Or is there any scripting language, such as python, has such kind of crawl functions?
Thanks.

Google Play Store has its own format to display information objects in HTML.
Write your own HTML parser for all these to get information you need.
It's best to use JSoup for this job at JSoup.org ,
or refer to my sample tutorial on JSoup as a parser:
