android - Remove extra "a href" tag from html string

Question

I have a html string like this:

 <a class="favourite" href="LixWQfueLU"><a href="LixWQfueLU"><font color="#009a49">Rohit Lalwani</font></a></a>

I want to make the html string:

<a class="favourite" href="LixWQfueLU"><font color="#009a49">Rohit Lalwani</font></a>

How can I solve the above issue? Should I use JSOUP or Regex? What will be the solution?

Answer 1

This code using JSoup will do the trick in a more generic way:

    String html ="<a class="favourite" href="LixWQfueLU"><a href="LixWQfueLU"><font color="#009a49">Rohit Lalwani</font></a></a>";
    Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
    Element afav = doc.select(".favourite").first();
    Element select = doc.select("font").first();
    afav.remove();
    afav.appendChild(select);
    System.out.println(afav);

Output:

<a class="favourite" href="LixWQfueLU"><font color="#009a49">Rohit Lalwani</font></a>
