I want to parse the span id = shd2b from this url in my android studio project, https://www.exchangerates.org.uk/Euros-to-Rupees-currency-conversion-page.html
I used the below java code to parse it and display in a textview box.
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {
//Connect to the website
String url = "https://www.exchangerates.org.uk/Euros-to-Rupees-currency-conversion-page.html";
//Get the title of the website
Document doc = null;
doc = (Document) Jsoup.parse(url);
eurotoinr = doc.getElementById("span.shd2b");
return null;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
textView.setText((CharSequence) eurotoinr);
}
Bu nothing is displayed in the emulator device when i run it. Could someone please help me with this issue?
Please forgive me if my description is not clear or not understandable. I started learning android studio only during this lockdown and new to stack overflow.
I see two mistakes.

because you used wrong method and your string is parsed as HTML fragment. It doesn't try do download anything.
You should use
doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
Then it downloads the HTML and parses correctly.
doc.getElementById("span.shd2b");
will return null because span.shd2b
is not a valid id. The id is shd2b;
Use doc.getElementById("shd2b;");
and it selects expected element:<span id="shd2b;">82.9337</span>
