Web Scraping Android Application

Question

As part of my final year project, I'm designing an Android application that needs to do some web scraping. I don't have any experience with this, so am wondering if anyone knows of any good links/tutorials they would like to share.

EDIT: I'm trying to have the app sign into a site and upload details from the phone to the site.

What is your definition of web scraping? Is it to scrape information directly from HTML source? Or do you really mean a web crawler? Other? — C0deAttack, Jan 17 '11 at 14:28

Try JSoup for extracting and manipulating HTML data.
