Here is a pragmatical answer to your question:

HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet("http://www.spartanjava.com");
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpGet, localContext);
String result = "";

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
    new InputStreamReader(
      response.getEntity().getContent()
    )
  );

String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
  result += line + "\n";
}

// Now you have the whole HTML loaded on the result variable
