I'd write an Activity to display the data, which calls an AsyncTask to connect to the site and download the HTML. I'd then use some kind of parser to grab the data I want and save it to a database.

Have you written Java before? If not I'd start out by learning the language. Download Eclipse and write a simple program that can connect to the site and grab the HTML. Then add the parser.

Once you are that far, do the Hello World tutorial, then work your way through the other tutorials. Also learn about the Android Application Lifecycle. At that point you can start thinking about moving your code over to the Android framework.

EDIT
Here are some links to information about potential parsers & parsing approaches.

You could also consider using (hushed voice) regex/pattern matching.
