How do I download HTML of a website periodically and use it in my webview android?

Question

I am making an app that has to display the content of a website. I created my website I want to use and it will be responsive so that it works with different devices. The question is how do I download the html code of my website periodically (once a day) and display the downloaded html files in my webview. the [page will contain only a simple table that I will regularly update online. I would like if you could tell me the steps to achieve this? Thank you in advance!

If it's not necessary to download the html code & display the updated, you can display the whole website by providing the url to webview, you only need to change the view of website for mobile devices & it will be reflected in the webview.

And if this is not the thing you want then you need to perform webservice call which in return provide you JSON String, parse it into local string & replace the html code.

public class Main extends Activity {

    private WebView mWebview ;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mWebview  = new WebView(this);
        mWebview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true); // enable javascript
        final Activity activity = this;
        mWebview.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
            public void onReceivedError(WebView view, int errorCode, String description, String failingUrl) {
                Toast.makeText(activity, description, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });
        mWebview .loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
        setContentView(mWebview );
    }
}
