title: Android: retrieve Webpage thumbnail by URL programmatically
body: <p>I would like to retrieve a Webpage thumbnail by URL programmatically.</p>
  
  <p>Done some searching and came up with several solutions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>using Swing (JEditorPane) - but as I understand &amp; correct me if I'm wrong, it's not possible to use swing with Android app.</li>
  <li>using a third party site with api services, like thumbalizr.com - prefer not to use that as it watermarks the thumbnail unless I pay (my app is free).</li>
  <li>Don't know if it's possible but maybe use the android browser function for that? maybe go to the URL in hidden way while activity shows only a progress bar? :)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Can anyone maybe offer something that works? maybe something more native?</p>
  
  <p>Appreciate any direction!</p>
