Loading raw HTML in Java/Android
<p>I have written a couple of 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 <code>http://example.com/dailytext/report.html</code> which loads images along the lines of <code>http://example.com/dailymedia/obama.jpg</code>  The references in <code>report.html</code> look like<br>
<code>img src="../dailymedia/obama.jpg" ...</code></p>

<p>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 <code>"img src..."</code>, 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?"</p>
