Android Question Reading some value from html page

[ThePuiu]

Hi, I need to read from location: http://86.34.188.179:2347/ value of ADC and Temperature. What is the easiest way to do that?
Thank you!

If the site doesn't offer an API then you will have to "scrape" the page (you can find a sample HERE) but it is not recommended, you could also use the jTidy library.

I tried to read page with HttpJob

Dim job As HttpJob
job.Initialize("GetHTML", Me)
job.download("http://86.34.188.179:2347/")

and the result in JobDone is:
<html><head>
<title>1WireAgent</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="c.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="j.js"></script>
</head><body onLoad="timer();setInterval(function () {timer()}, 1000);">
<div id="w"><div id="c">
<div id="t"><center><img src="logo.png" alt="" /><br>1WireAgent</center></div>
<form name="SNMPTA">

</form></div></div>
</body></html>

but the value of temperature is not in there.... Is something wrong in what I'm doing?

 

[NJDude]

You are not doing anything wrong, the issue is that the value for the temperature seems to be handled by the JavaScript, like I mentioned on my previous post, scraping is not recommended, now you see why.

I tried to read page with HttpJob

Dim job As HttpJob
job.Initialize("GetHTML", Me)
job.download("http://86.34.188.179:2347/")

The values are written to html-code after page downloading by a javascript. This reads the file v.txt and then the values are updated in html...

Try downloading

Dim job As HttpJob
job.Initialize("GetHTML", Me)
job.download("http://86.34.188.179:2347/v.txt")

Thank you DonManfred! You made my day!

Where does v.txt come from?
