well, I think you'd want to start with an HttpClient (http:// developer.android.com/reference/android/net/http/ AndroidHttpClient.html) to make the request and download the resource(s). Then you would need to extract the information you need from the content. This is commonly called "scraping" since you are trying to extract data from presentation views. It's hairy, and likely to involve any number of parsers or (gads!) regular expressions to accomplish the task. I'd avoid this route if at all possible.
If the service you are accessing actually intends for other applications to consume it, perhaps there is already a public API (e.g. twitter, facebook, etc. all have http APIs you can use). At the very least, perhaps the site supports alternative formats for the content - like xml or json. If requesting a different format is an option, you'll have a much easier time extracting the data since you can use a standard parser. -Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
