Jsoup .text method not found

Question

I'm trying to scrape a website for data using jsoup so I can use it in an Android Studio project. When I try to use the .text method to get all the text of a document, it says "cannot resolve method" even though I think I imported all the right things. Is this a problem with my code or is it something else?

My Code:

Document doc = (Document) Jsoup.connect(url).get();
text = doc.text();

Edit: Found error, org.w3c.dom.Document was imported when the correct import is org.jsoup.nodes.Document

Answer 1

You need to import org.jsoup.nodes.Document.

Demo:

import java.io.IOException;

import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Document doc = (Document) Jsoup.connect("https://www.google.com").get();
        String text = doc.text();
        System.out.println(text);
    }
}
