We all know that programming have endless possibilities.There are numbers of solutions available for a single problem so i think all of the above solutions are perfect and may be helpful for someone but for me this one save my day..

So Code goes like this

  private void getWebsite() {
    new Thread(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
        final StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

        try {
          Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.ssaurel.com/blog").get();
          String title = doc.title();
          Elements links = doc.select("a[href]");

          builder.append(title).append("\n");

          for (Element link : links) {
            builder.append("\n").append("Link : ").append(link.attr("href"))
            .append("\n").append("Text : ").append(link.text());
          }
        } catch (IOException e) {
          builder.append("Error : ").append(e.getMessage()).append("\n");
        }

        runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
          @Override
          public void run() {
            result.setText(builder.toString());
          }
        });
      }
    }).start();
  }

You just have to call the above function in onCreate Method of your MainActivity

I hope this one is also helpful for you guys.
