I need help parsing an html file from my schools website, I know this code is bad BUT there is hardly any decent tutorial on html parsing for android so I ATTEMPTED this. I am still in the beginning of my software stages so bare with me! Thanks! ^-^

package com.example.test;

import java.io.IOException;

import android.os.Bundle;
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.helper.Validate;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;
import org.jsoup.select.Elements;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.support.v4.app.NavUtils;

public class Parsing extends Activity {
Document doc;
Element Link;
String linkhref;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        try {
            Document doc = Jsoup.connect("www.csn.edu/events.asp").get();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.print("failed");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        Element link= doc.select("table.cal-StudentActivitiesandEvents-row").first();
       linkhref=link.attr("href");


    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
    }


}

What exactly you trying to achive(you said parse html but that is not enough) or what sort of data and what format you want to get this out as...

I want to parse the Events sections. I need to parse all of the Text stating the different events

The Events section of the site I am trying to parse is actually at www.csn.edu/news/events
