Hi Nobu Games, Thanks for your reply. However I already tried using the user-agent string returned by Android to download content from URL. This however did not work since the returned webpage says that javascript is not enabled on your browser. I tried on url: www.techcrunch.com and www.cnet.com.
The use case of my application is as follows: The user uses any third party application (like News reader/Pulse etc) to read some content and want to share. He shares the URL link of this content with my application. Here I want to download this web-content and upload it to some server. However I cannot use HTTP GET method to download the content since it does not return proper content of the URL. Hence I am using WebView to render/download this content. Now I want to save this content displayed in the WebView and upload it to some server. Basically my requirement is the same as the Pocket (Readitlater http://getpocket.com/). I want to save a webpage for offline consumption. Is there a way to achieve this?
