How to use Jsoup with Volley?
Solution 1:
Can anyone write/link a simple example using volley and jsoup?
Under the hood, Jsoup make use of HttpUrlConnection
. This class has known unresolved issues, bugs and performance issues on the Android Platform.
Instead, load the data with Volley first then parse it with Jsoup.
Sample Code:
private static RequestQueue myRequestQueue = null;
public Document GetDocument(String site) throws Exception {
final Document[] doc = new Document[1];
final CountDownLatch cdl = new CountDownLatch(1);
StringRequest documentRequest = new StringRequest( //
Request.Method.GET, //
site, //
new Response.Listener<String>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
doc[0] = Jsoup.parse(response);
cdl.countDown();
}
}, //
new Response.ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
// Error handling
System.out.println("Houston we have a problem ... !");
error.printStackTrace();
}
} //
);
if (myRequestQueue == null) {
myRequestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
}
// Add the request to the queue...
myRequestQueue.add(documentRequest);
// ... and wait for the document.
// NOTE: Be aware of user experience here. We don't want to freeze the app...
cdl.await();
return doc[0];
}

Solution 2:
With Stephan`s answer I have made some little modifications to this code and it looks like this. I have added UTF 8 support so it can read other languages and specified the retry policy.
private static RequestQueue myRequestQueue = null;
public Document GetDocument(String site) {
final Document[] doc = new Document[1];
final CountDownLatch cdl = new CountDownLatch(1);
try {
StringRequest documentRequest = new StringRequest( //
Request.Method.GET, //
site, //
new Response.Listener<String>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
String newStr = null;
try {
newStr = URLDecoder.decode(URLEncoder.encode(response, "iso8859-1"), "UTF-8");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
doc[0] = Jsoup.parse(newStr);
cdl.countDown();
}
}, //
new Response.ErrorListener() {
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
// Error handling
System.out.println("Houston we have a problem ... !");
error.printStackTrace();
}
} //
);
if (myRequestQueue == null) {
myRequestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(MainActivity._Instance);
documentRequest.setRetryPolicy(new DefaultRetryPolicy(5000,
DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES,
DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT));
}
// Add the request to the queue...
myRequestQueue.add(documentRequest);
// ... and wait for the document.
// NOTA: Be aware of user experience here. We don't want to freeze the app...
cdl.await();
}
catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("TMS", "Error parsing page " + site);
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
return doc[0];
}
