jSoup extract Text out of DIV tag to String

android, java, jsoup, text

Solution

Use the below

Elements text = document.select("div");
String desc = text.text();
Log.i(".........",+desc);

The log after trying at my end

01-31 04:45:15.272: I/.........(1233): I want to get this Text

Edit:

You can use

Elements text = document.select("div[class=textclass]");

or using id

Elements text = document.select("div[id=textid]");

or

Elements text = document.select("div[itemprop=itemtext]");

Problem

I want to extract some Text out of a website and store in String. ``` <div class="textclass" id="textid" itemprop="itemtext">I want to get this Text</div> ``` What goes into the question marks? ``` protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) { try { Document document = Jsoup.connect(url).get(); Elements text = document.select("???"); desc = text.attr("???"); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return null; } ```
