I want to develop an android application that will access web pages.Like my browser will first load "www.mail.yahoo.com".then it automatically set yahoo id and password that i will tell from my program.then it will automatically click in sign in to sign in.Like web browser control in visual basic 6 or in c# application.In android i can browse pages using web view but not getting any way to access html content as i have been trying for a week.If any body will help it will be great pleasure.
Thanks
You can use WebView for accessing URLs and let the users see the content.
A poorman's solution to get the HTML is to open the URL with another HttpConnection in another thread and read the contents of it. just because I haven't find any other way to access the HTML that is loaded in the WebView

How to get a specific text from a web page Android Studio?
First of all, you need to find "HOW THAT WEBPAGE IS GETTING THAT DATA?",
1-If it is hard coded you can hardcode it in your android application.
2-If it is coming from any web service you need to parse JSON data into you application.
That's how you get the specific data from any web page.
Got a pretty hectic task for myself here and i'm done with googling it ..
Im presently working on an app that has to take an
input , (String )(EditText) from the user end .
Use that string and pass it on to a webview , so that the search is done based on this string , (for eg: lets take youtube as an example so the passed content is a Songs name).
Once the search has been made the app has to pickup the url of the present search made .... i.e in youtube when we search for something we get the url as
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS4F49XqLWo" so the app has to store this url .
Paste the url onto another site and then Click on some buttons on that site (The major problem part -- how do i get the app to automatically click on buttons on another site ??)
Im just a novice at Android Development , espacially at the html side of it ... so kindly bear with me !!...
I have a website with a button that when clicked displays a message.
My site example: http://catcheat.net/Test/test.html
I am creating an application which should show the message that the button of my site has generated.
I wanted to know if there is some way that allows me to press that button (and then generate the text) without having to open the browser??
And most of all I wanted to know if you can take the text that was generated from the button and show it in my app (without opening the browser of course)??
I'm not sure I quite understand your question, but here I will try
As said JSoup is a Java library providing a set of API to extract and manipulate HTML files. There are several methods to read and parse an HTML page; in our case we want to retrieve it from a remote server and then we have to provide an URL.

i am fairly new at developing with Android but am trying to learn to learn new things:
I wanted to build a simple app that would take data from a website and then show it on the app. I considered using WebView but WebView seems to just put a browser within the app.
I understand that an app such as this would have to 1) Communicate a login and password and pass it to the website and then 2) show the data in the app
What i wanted to do was integrate the data into the app. Another question is if there are any implications regarding this type of app because a user would have to log in using a Username and Password.
So how could I go about this(i just need some general pointers, what to use, etc.)
Thank You!
You can use an HTTPClient to execute a POST function to return the html data from a webpage. You would only have to provide login credentials if the page you're trying to access is username/password protected. A simple tutorial on this can be found here

I want my activity to link to a web page which I have created.
I want to create the web page contents in Android.
How is it possible?
A little unclear what your requirements are... But it sounds like WebView is probably what you are looking for.
It allows you to include web pages inside of your app. i.e. linking to a web from within a view, and stay within an app. This also allows you to potentially "create" content inside of an activity, save it to the file system and load it through your WebView. Otherwise, if you want to "create" content you can use your own homegrown web services to send content to a remote server to then accessed by your webview, or through the regular browser.
If you are just trying to open a link from your app in the standard browser try looking using intents. See here for an example.
