If your website already uses the own database, instead of querying any data remotely you can retrive data from your website's fields or tags such as <div id="bodyTag">...</div> by using Jsoup HTML parser library.

You can type Document document = Jsoup.connect("yourURL").get(); to connect your website's specific area, then typing Elements body_text = document.select("div[id=bodyTag]"); will retrieve the tag field.
