JSoup - Parse simple HTML

I'm trying to parse this king of HTML for my android app :

<table>
    <p> blablabla </p>
    <p> bliblibli </p>
</table>
<p> Hello </p>
<p> Hello2 </p>
....
<p> Hellon </p>
<table>
    <p> blablabla </p>
    <p> bliblibli </p>
</table>

It's easy to get the inside of table tag with getElementsByTag("table") and then getElementsByTag("p").

But what about the "hello" section where i don't know how much lines there is ??

My first idea was croping the string at first with string.split("table") but it's king of awfull.

Thanks for the help.

This is hard with your invalid example, after JSoup parsing this documents looks like this:

<html>
 <head></head>
 <body>
  <p> blablabla </p>
  <p> bliblibli </p>
  <table>   
  </table> 
  <p> Hello </p> 
  <p> Hello2 </p> .... 
  <p> Hellon </p> 
  <p> blablabla </p>
  <p> bliblibli </p>
  <table>   
  </table>
 </body>
</html>

All paragraphs are on first level and tables are empty.

Proper table example

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>
       <p> blablabla </p>
    </td>
    <td>
       <p> bliblibli </p>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

After fixing sample HTML things are much easier

public static void main(String[] args) {

    String html = "<table><tr><td>\n" +
            "    <p> blablabla </p>\n" +
            "    <p> bliblibli </p>\n" +
            "</td></tr></table>\n" +
            "<p> Hello </p>\n" +
            "<p> Hello2 </p>\n" +
            "....\n" +
            "<p> Hellon </p>\n" +
            "<table><tr><td>\n" +
            "    <p> blablabla </p>\n" +
            "    <p> bliblibli </p>\n" +
            "</td></tr></table>";

    Elements p1 = Jsoup.parse(html).select("body > p");

    System.out.println(p1.html());

}

And result

Hello
Hello2
Hellon

Just use combinator >, works like a charm :)

parent > child: child elements that descend directly from parent, e.g. div.content > p finds p elements; and body > * finds the direct children of the body tag

This Will surely help u

          Element content = doc.select("p").get(0);
          content.tagName();
          str=content.text();
          Log.d("Check", str + content.tagName());

In this u can loop get() method..
