Android - Parse text from website

Question

I have webpage with this simple text, which is changeable.

<html><head><style type="text/css"></style></head><body>69766</body></html>

I need parse only number 69766 and save it to variable as String or int. It's possible to parse this number without adding libraries?

Thanks for your questions !

You can do like this

    URL url = new URL("http://url for your webpage");
    URLConnection yc = url.openConnection();
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                            new InputStreamReader(
                            yc.getInputStream()));
    String inputLine;
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
    while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) 
        builder.append(inputLine.trim());
    in.close();
    String htmlPage = builder.toString();

    String yourNumber = htmlPage.replaceAll("\\<.*?>","");

For your basic need you should take a lot at Html class.

But how can I parse text and save it into variable for displaying in TextView?

You're right, you can do as @Arun suggest or try jsoup witch is a third-party lib but it seems pretty easy to use.
