screen scraping on android phone using (ICS)

Question

I am looking to implement simple automation which requires screen scraping for an android (ICS) phone.

What are the options, frameworks, libraries available?

I have been using WATIN on .NET and found it very powerful and yet easy to use, A Java version of WATIN, WATIR - is it a good choice for web screenscraping / automation for the Android platform?

See this previous [stackoverflow post](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9773655/is-there-a-tool-like-mechanize-for-android). — David, Jul 15 '12 at 22:53
watir is actually a ruby library, and watin is a .net version of it, not the other way around. — pguardiario, Jul 15 '12 at 22:59

You can use watir-webdriver or selenium-webdriver Ruby gems to drive real browsers in Android emulators or real Android devices. Of course, if you are not a Ruby person, you can do the same from another language. More information: http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/AndroidDriver

Using RESTful API enables you to extract data with minimum coding effort. Here are some links you might be interested in.
