I need to copy all HTML code on the page.
I do so:
URL url = new URL(testurl);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.connect();
Scanner in = new Scanner(connection.getInputStream());
while(in.hasNextLine())
{
htmlText=htmlText+in.nextLine();
}
in.close();
But if the page is large, it takes a lot of time.
Is there a faster method?
Have you tried a different method of reading the page? Like a buffered reader? Reading the content of web page or Reading entire html file to String?
I'm just thinking Scanner may be a little slow.

Try to use use (http://jsoup.org "JSoup") to download and parse the HTML from URL
You can get the HTML as document and read the text on each elements
new AsyncTask<Void, Integer, String>(){
@Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
final Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://youturl.com").get();
final String content;
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
// get the required text
content = doc.body().getElementsByTag("bodyTag").text();
}
});
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return content;
}
}.execute();
