Loading raw HTML in Java/Android

I have written a couple of 开发者_开发技巧live wallpapers in recent weeks using local resources. Now a potential client wants me to make one that loads and displays the photos (usually between 3 and 10) from his daily news report posted online. The report file has a URL along the lines of http://example.com/dailytext/report.html which loads images along the lines of http://example.com/dailymedia/obama.jpg The references in report.html look like

img src="../dailymedia/obama.jpg" ...

Am I supposed to use a WebView to do this? That doesn't seem quite right, because I don't want to display the HTML. I would think that I want to throw the raw HTML into an array, parse the HTML looking for the instances of "img src...", reconstruct the full URLs, then load the bitmaps. I'm getting the impression this is more of a pure Java task than anything to do with Android's specialized classes, but I don't know. Any suggestions about "best practice?"

Unless I have misunderstood, this really isn't hard. You need to do the following:

• Fetch the HTML, using either the native java networking api or something like HttpClient
• Use a parser like Jericho or Dom4j to extract out the image links
• Construct the absolute URLs, can be done with just java.net.URL
• Fetch the images

You could also prefer using Jsoup HTML Parser.
