If you don't mind including a dependency, there is a good library for this kind of things called jsoup.

String html = ...
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);

Element tr = doc.select("tr").first();
Element link = tr.select("a").first();

String dataTitle = tr.attr("data-title");
String href = link.attr("href");
