Have you ever wanted to get a specific data from another website but there's no API available for it? That's where Web Scraping comes in, if the data is not made available by the website we can just scrape it from the website itself.

But before we dive in let us first define what web scraping is. According to Wikipedia:

{% blockquote %} Web scraping (web harvesting or web data extraction) is a computer software technique of extracting information from websites. Usually, such software programs simulate human exploration of the World Wide Web by either implementing low-level Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), or embedding a fully-fledged web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. {% endblockquote %}

Sexy transition between Activities (based on Twitter transition)

Looking at the officiel Twitter Android client I've noticed the slight cool & sexy transition between activities. I was curious to know how that worked so I had fun with android xml animations and ended up with that:

<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
