<p>this is my jsoup code with async task :</p>

<pre><code>    public class score_scrape extends AsyncTask&lt;Void,Void,Void&gt; {

 String words;
 TextView score;

public score_scrape( TextView score){
    this.score =score;

}


    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... voids) {

        try {
            Document doc = Jsoup.connect("https://www.google.com/search?q=india+vs+australia+3rd+odi+live+score").get();
            Element element = doc.select("div[imspo_mh_cricket__score-major]").first();
            words = element.text();

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }


        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
        super.onPostExecute(aVoid);
        score.setText(words);
    }
}
</code></pre>
