Retrieving information from the internet

[tomroberts89]

I am quite new to apk and higher level programming having mostly being using C++. I was wondering if there is anyway that I can retrieve information from a simple website on the internet onto my own application.
This is purely for personal use and therefore not infringing any intellectual property laws.
In know tinyWebDB can retrieve from a database set up by the programmer but is there a way to retrieve from a html page?
Would appreciate any (relevant) help, even being assured its not possible is a step in the right direction. Thanks. Tom.

One has nothing to do with the other.

Open the page as a file.
