JSOUP Parsing in Android

I've been through countless examples and questions here, and I'm still unable to parse the following page using JSOUP:

CBS Sports Player Search

I am trying to get the following lines from the page (highlighted in blue):

enter image description here

and

enter image description here

Edit: I've tried a selector as shown:

Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://solr.cbssports.com/solr/select/?q=fantasy%20Tom%20Brady")
                .timeout(30000)
                .get();

Element resultLinks = doc.select("#docs > div:nth-child(1) > img").first();
Log.i(TAG, "img: " + resultLinks);

However, the above returns null.

Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Josh

The first one is not possible, since there's no img tag in the linked document.

You get the second element with following code:

Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://solr.cbssports.com/solr/select/?q=fantasy%20Tom%20Brady")
        .timeout(30000)
        .get();


Element tomBrady = doc.select("str[name=content]:matchesOwn(12 Tom Brady, QB Player Page)").first();

System.out.println(tomBrady);

Here's the only element containing an url to an image from the linked content:

<str name="img_url">http://sports.cbsimg.net/images/football/nfl/players/60x80/187741.jpg</str>

As stated in the comments, curiously the elements i get from the link differ from yours.

Since this is the only str-tag with name=img_url you can simply take the first one you find (= first()):

Element imgUrl = doc.select("str[name=img_url]").first();
String url = imgUrl.text();

If there's a possibility of more img_url's, you better select the top node you need and select the proper url-element from those.
