copied!<p>Everytime you look for an element with select("") your calling last() in a chain which assumes it will <strong>always</strong> find atleast 1 element, in the situation that there is no say "p" in the document, that is when you will encounter a crash.</p> <p>It's just simple NullPointerExceptions, you need to learn to code defensively:</p> <pre><code>// If you believe overview could be null if(overview != null){ ArrayList<Element> paragraphs = overview.select("p"); // Whatever type select(String) returns Element lastParagraph = null; if(paragraphs != null){ lastParagraph = paragraphs.last(); } else { // Deal with not finding "p" (lastParagraph is null in this situation) } // Continue with lastParagraph } else { // Deal with overview being null } </code></pre> <p><a href="http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/articles/toptenerrors.html" rel="nofollow">Number 1 Java Error</a> (scroll down)</p> <p>Also you shouldn't really wrap your code with a catch all Exception, try to catch each exception and deal with them individually.</p> <p>Lookup the API for your get() method <a href="http://jsoup.org/apidocs/org/jsoup/Connection.html#get%28%29" rel="nofollow">Jsoup get()</a> (eclipse tells you this anyway) It throws IOException, so you should <em>just</em> catch this.</p> <pre><code> try { doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get(); } catch (IOException e) { Log.e("Tag", "Jsoup get didn't get a document", e); } </code></pre> <p><a href="http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/articles/toptenerrors.html" rel="nofollow">Number 5 Java Error</a> (scroll down)</p>
