Android Studio Webview with Custom CSS (jsoup)

Question

I want to load facebook.com in a webview with custom CSS to change a few things. I use jsoup but everytime i start the app it crashes.

Here is my code:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    try {
        Document doc = Jsoup.connect("https://www.facebook.com").get();
        doc.head().getElementsByTag("link").remove();
        doc.head().appendElement("link").attr("rel", "stylesheet").attr("type", "text/css").attr("href", "style.css");
        String htmlData = doc.outerHtml();
        WebView webview = new WebView(this);
        setContentView(webview);
        webview.loadDataWithBaseURL("file:///android_asset/.", htmlData, "text/html", "UTF-8", null);

    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Logcat output

You are connecting to network in the main(UI) thread. So you get android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException.

Android system wont allow that, as it blocks the UI thread. So Use some background threads like AsyncTask or IntentService to access network.

im completely new to android studio so is there maybe a better solution to load live websites with custom css? @DineshBob

Jsoup.connect("facebook.com").get() - connects to the network. Move this line to AsyncTask. androidbegin.com/tutorial/android-basic-jsoup-tutorial . Check this link.
